The Swollen Stage
$8,500
Ok. I have a lot of stretch marks. Tears. I had a lot before surgery and I still have a lot left. I can't wait to start laser stretch mark therapy! Overall I feel amazing. Issues standing up straight is such a thing of the past! I can sit down with my laptop now and my stomach not press any keys on its own. Unlike before lol. I feel pretty sexy. Only issues I am experiencing is I have hardened areas in my stomach. Hard like a rock. Some are in the upper abs others are near my scar. I spoke with Dr. Jones and he said to massage the spots away. He also said this is normal during The Swelling Stage (which i'm still stuck in). I really don't know what they are or why they are there but I massage them hourly. I still have surgical tape on my scar...I'm leaving it on until Dr. Jones says enough is enough lol. I have my 1 month post-op appointment this coming Tuesday and will update more when I see him :)

I feel good! Returning to work next week. I'm able to stand up straight now which is such a relief on my back. My love handles are still sore to the touch where I had lipo. I'm wondering when that will finally go away. Stomach is still tight! Super tight! I CANNNOOTTTT WAIT until the tension on my stomach relieves. I think the tape is aiding in this tightness...most days i just want to rip it off! Its really uncomfortable. Ive noticed the compression garment I received from the hospital is no longer super tight against my body due to me washing it 4 times since surgery. ALSO i theres a slit where my vagina and butt is so that I can use the restroom without taking the garment off. Can you say...camel toe? All day. The garment rides up because its not tight thus the slit rides up into my vagina choking the life out of it. SHEESH. So yeah i ordered a new garment on Amazon last night. Its coming tomorrow. Hopefully it will compress my swelling much better! And hopefully my vagina can breathe!

Please keep us posted on your journey! I'm considering going to Dr. Jones for my procedure and your story is motivating me to do so. I've read nothing but good things about him. Haven't read not one negative review about him. I already put a down payment (4400) dollars down towards a smart lipo procedure.( different surgeon) But after having four kids and two c sections, I just don't I'll be happy with my results. I know I"llhave loose skin left behind and lord knows I don't want that. I rather pay a little extra to get the results I want from one of THE BEST plastic surgeons there is. I will be calling his office Monday morning to schedule my consultation.

First week was a little rough lol I spent 2 weeks off but I personally I think needed 3. Got a random sinus infection and bronchitis when I went back that knocked me down for 5+ days. I'm good now but whew lol
