I am now three months post op. I am having trouble with My tummy scar site being super red and not calming down. Headed in to get first laser treatment today. I now go to the gym for three days in one day off. I go for two hours a day. I have to wear a compression garment those nights and I have actully gained about four lbs since I started the gym however my clothes fit better. Having my breast much smaller has deff improved my life in ways I would have never thought of. Sitting at a booth in a restraint, being able to fit on a machine at the gym, buying a clothing item in a regular store!! I can see now that they are smaller I can see how huge my arms really are and it's got me completely freaked out. All I do is stare at then all the time. But that issue is for diffrent group. Lol my boobs have rounded out and I love how cute and small (to me)they are. I can't wait for my husband to be home to see them for the first time

Are you using the scar stuff he gave you? That stuff made mine burn in the beginning so maybe you are having a reaction to that? I didn't really use anything. Not much of a product person. Lol. You look very confident! I can't believe it'll be a year for since my surgery in June. Crazy how fast it goes.

I am now about three weeks post op. I swell Alot at night which is mainly when I get my pictures lol. I am having trouble eating and issues with memory loss and have an appointment with a doc to check on it this up coming week. I feel like I got lapband all over again in the sense that it's hard to eat. I still have bruising as well as swelling but that's expected. My son whose two constantly is trying to climb me and I beleive that is the reason for my breast starting to give me such bad trouble. They hurt constantly. I have pains across my stomach as well as numbnessnst the incisions site. I feel it in my belly button when I touch my incision. I'm waiting til this payday to buy more scar sheets as I feel like they really help. Even if just providing a protective layer from the binder. I still wear my binder 24/7 unless showering. It's deff time to ask for a diffrent one iv about ruined this one lol (I know I'm rough.) iv been cleaning lightly and running errands. I sometimes take pain meds at night if I just can't stand it but try not to as they actully keep me up! (that's a new nightmare btw lol) o hurt when I bend over almost like the weight of my breast bent over it to much for my body. I still have stiches I'm my nipples that I can see and feel as well as other parts of my body. Use scar cream, tightening lotion and scar sheets daily. Scar isn't that bad to me except on my breast. Hoping it will town down. Been side sleeping for a while just have to roll over very slow. I am cold a lot of the time, like I cannot get warm no matter what and that is frustrating. So far I'm down from 224 to 211.

The band is not that great. Umm I've tried different things. You can try the underwear ones. I didn't. I tried the tanks that had the extra compression. Now I use a abs support for when I exercise. Did you have an ab repair?
