How it works

- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Tomorrow is four weeks. It seems like the three week point was a major turning point for me. I have felt really great pretty much every day since then. Saturday I took my 5 daughters shopping for Easter dresses. We spent several hours in the mall, going to different stores. That was really too much and I was EXHAUSTED and swollen that night.
I have continued to lose weight -- total lost is 22 lb. I am down to 156. I was 174 the day of my consultation in January. I'm pretty sure my BB is going to be just fine, as soon as the skin gets some slack and it's not pulled so open any more. My scar is going to be amazing and thin, although it's a bit high (but that also may lower with some slack.
My ONLY remaining complaint is that my thighs really don't have much change when I'm standing upright (except the change that could be from losing 22 lb). When I bend slightly forward, I can see that my thighs are smaller, but when I stand up, there's some posterior fat that kind of squishes forward, so when I'm standing up straight, my thighs touch just as much as before. I'm going to talk to him about it at my 6 week postop.
I have quit wearing my compression garment at night (PS said I could quit at four weeks, so it was a few days early, but I just couldn't take it any more).
How is everyone else doing?

Yesterday was 3 weeks. I had an AWESOME day and felt great all day long. No pain. I ordered a new dress from Old Navy because they were on sale for CHEAP. I was able to order a medium! All my old medium clothes are starting to fit well again. I'm really pleased. DH and I did the horizontal mambo for the first time last night. It was ok I really felt bad for him waiting so long, even though I;m really not interested yet. My BB is healing, steri strips are getting looser and looser and the swelling is down a bit every day. All in all, this is probably the best thing I have ever done for myself!

Is there any way to change the order of my photos without deleting and starting over?
Yesterday I was pumping gas for my huge 15 passenger van. As I was climbing back up into the drivers seat, my ankle twisted and I caught myself with the steering wheel. I felt something pull inside and ever since then, there is a very distinct SPOT that is painful to the touch, sharp pain, and throbbing. PS office said it's ok, but to watch for increasing pain, bleeding, swelling, etc. I had a lot more generalized swelling yesterday, but probably from having three big days in a row where I probably did too much. Trying to lay low today.
I'm getting so FRUSTRATED with doing nothing. Not lifting the toddler, not picking up, etc. I feel like my whole family is getting resentful of me.
