21 weeks post op. I am still so happy with my results. The scars on my legs are still ugly but I expected that from my consultation. I still rub them daily. My tummy scar is already starting to lighten. I recently went on vacation and i did put on 10 pounds and I have not lost it yet. I am getting discouraged on the weightloss portion of this whole thing.

So tomarrow is 8 weeks PO. My thighs and tummy have zero pain. I am so happy with my results. I would most definately do it again. My first week back at work was hard but now I am back to the same old.

You look incredibly awesome! How are thighs doing now? My PS said he would make an incision in the crease and then go down the inner leg close to knee. I'm scheduled for that in Sept. If you are able or willing to post pic of the thigh incision, I'd be interested in what it looks like early on or hearing how the healing went for you!

WOW! Good for you!. I will ask you the same question I ask everyone. How long before you could stand up straight? I am trying to see how long it will be before I go back to church ect... I have not told anyone what I'm doing and I want it to stay that way. :)

So I am just past the three week mark. I completed a full week at work. It was not bad. I was tired each day after I got off but not to bad. I started taking walks - slow but I am picking up speed and trying to go a little longer each time. So does anyone have advise about how soon to really start pushing myself on workouts? I want to get on the elipticle but I am not sure if that is to much to soon.
