8 weeks more rashes

Ugh so swollen and lumpy! Dr says normal. so I'm 8 weeks definitely doc thinks dog ear revisions on both hips. I'm whole torso covered in rash related to an antibiotic shot I got for an unrelated infection for cold season. I'm immune deficient without a spleen so they treat any infection very seriously in me. Well I was allergic to this injection and now have full torso rash... However he thinks I may also be allergic to the scar gel as I am not getting rash to clear. Seeing dr on Monday. Mons is not getting smaller and dr says my muscle wall was lower and could be pushing it out and may want revision. Not sure what to do yet. Still worth it but frustrated. Fun to shop but irritating to itch!!!!

I'm having issues with my mons being huge as well. When I stand I look swollen like you. My ps mention it might be some fat that loosened and travelled to that area. Gosh I sure hope not! I didn't do all this to get a fat vajayjay! Lol other than rash, your incisions look great. How are you feeling otherwise?

That's exactly how I feel!! No ginormous vajayjay!! The incisions are good rashis driving me crazy but I can manage but wearing the binder I think is making the rash worse so it's hard to exercise and sweat in the binder and cause more rushes I really want to start working out hard-core but the rash is killing me energy level is good movement is good sex is greatbut I cannot find anything to take care of the rash

Thank you! Yes I'm wearing a tank under the binder! It helps a little. Now dr said I can use hydrocortisone since I'm 8 weeks out! It's helping a lot!!

You are looking great. I'm sorry you are having rash issues. That constant irritation must be so draining :( Thanks for posting your pics and info. I've got a large pannus that I can't wait to get rid of and you are so inspiring!!! Hope things start getting better soon :)

I have a question for you. I am scheduled for my surgery on 11/9. I work an easy sit down desk job. What was the soonest you would have felt comfortable going back to work. Also did the Dr tighten your muscles during your surgery? And are you happy with your surgery and would you do it again? Thanks in advance. I'm equally excited and nervous.

7 weeks out

frogglessOctober 11, 2016
Well I thought all was going well...and then I went back to the gym...???? so both spots over my hips are irritated. Band aids causes rash and the swelling was intense. All I did was the elliptical for 25 min then arm lifting. Sweeping still in tummy after two days. Dr said I'm over doing it and have to cut back on lifting.

Did your mons swelling go down??

Still swollen 7 weeks out. Dr said may need revision as my abdominal muscle wall is lower than normal and makes it more swollen. So he may make it smaller I will post after my appointment on Monday!!

So has your mons swelling all gone? I think you look great! So lucky. I'm saving for next year. Hopefully I will look as great as you with my apron gone!

Still puffy but going down in the mons! Dr said about 12 weeks as it's the lowest point.

You look great! I can't wait for my FDL. I'm still working on my weight. 15lbs will take me forever to lose.

You can do it! I do a pouch reset every once in a while for 5 days google it and it's great for cleanse and shrinking portion size!!

You look amazing. Great job! What was your weight before the surgery? I'm at 214 and 5'6'' now and still have "front butt" too. My body looks strikingly similar to your pre-op body. Wondering if I'm low enough in weight to have the surgery. Good luck with your rashes.

I would love to know this too, I am also looking into having this done but just had back surgery so need to recover from that first.
