6 week update

WORTH IT$9,900
Went in yesterday to see Dr. Weiler. He said everything is looking great. Still a good bit of swelling in my tummy and in my back that he stated will flatten out over the course of the next several months. He of course encouraged me to continue to take my fluid pills for 3 months. I plan to switch from this full body compression garment to a waist trainer for the swelling. I don't see him again for 3 months and he gave the ok for exercise and just back to normal everyday routines, in which that started the day after my surgery. But I look forward to seeing more success stories.

About the gastric sleeve you got.. was it worth it? I am thinking about getting it done too?
It was worth it definitely... I put weight back on after mine because I had gotten pregnant and with each pregnancy that I miscarried at 3 months with each of them, the weight didn't so easily come back off.
If you have the gastric sleeve done and thinking about the tummy tuck, of course wait until after your weight loss has stabilized after the sleeve before having the tummy tuck.
Thank you.. How long did it take you to stabilize?
About 2 months after the sleeve. When the weight started coming off, it came off quick
thanks

2 days out from my 6 weeks post surgery date

Just a few pics to share... Thursday will be my 6 weeks. Decided to take a few pics today. Have a good bit of swelling in the tummy that I'm not too happy about. Also had some swelling in my cankles... Geesh if I had to guess where the cankle swelling came from, probably from the sodium in the Asian food I had for dinner and lunch today ????. However... I have been wearing my cg faithfully, but haven't been taking my fluid pills everyday. Guess I slipped a bit, but I work in a call center and it's kinda impossible to take fluid pills at work. That's scar tape at the bikini line. My incision is barely visible since starting scar therapy.

You look great!!
Thanks!!! I feel great. I always felt pregnant with that belly and it just feels so good to fit into clothes and not have to tuck my tummy and my shirt in my pants

5 Weeks Post Op and Everything Seems to Be Great.

So Thurs April 20th, I have my 6 week post op with Dr Weiler. Recovery has been great with an expected pain or spasm here and there, but overall... all is well and more pics to come later in the week. I've already been so excited about new clothes that I can fit in minus the huge tummy I use to have. Can't wait to show you all. I've never been more comfortable in my life about my body.
