WORTH IT$8,100
After my 3rd child...2nd c section...my stomach would just not go back to what it was before. My youngest is 6 years old so I decided now would be the time to make my body better not only for myself, but for my kids too. Having this hanging skin on my abdomen would cause my back to hurt and moving around would be a strain on my back, etc.

I was finally able to take a shower today. I had my hubby snap a few pics. I can't seem to go without my binder too long. It helps me be mobile and makes me feel together. :)

Ashlynn, what did you use to keep the stitches from getting wet?
July 3, 2015
My doc didn't tell me not to get the stitches wet. I just sat on a shower chair and very carefully washed me as best as possible. My doc actually wanted me to scrub around the incision but I cant. Lol. I'm still in pain where the lipo was done.

I increased my walking and boy did the spasms kicked in! I forgot all about the spasm pills. It was coming back to back and causing me to have a little problem breathing. So for the first time I am taking that pill, also using a suppository to help my constipation and eating fresh prunes. This should help. I'll let you know.

You definitely want to talk to the dr about the muscle spasm pills not working! They were so tight and coming so often.
Not a good feeling.
Let me know what happens.

I started yesterday and did notice some relief but when I walk for a while here come spasm. I guess this is normal!

6 days PO and I feel great. Still have to walk with a slight bend but I can see a huge difference. I've been resting a great deal but I'm also on the move too. :) I had my hubby take a few pics just a few minutes ago. Going to my doc Tuesday and hopefully getting this drain taken out. It's barely draining anything.

Thank you, ma'am!!! So do you!! I can't wait until I can stand up straight. Ahhhh.

I'm about 80% straight. My paid is in my lower back where they did the lipo. But when I walk I'm keeping my knees bent and trying to stand straight a little bit everytime I walk. I can feel the tightness. Lawd.

I finished my pain meds yesterday. So now I'm on just Tylenol. Errrr. What have you done to be able to stand straight???
