37 yo, 80 pounds lost

4 wks - binder off and back to normal activity

WORTH IT$10,500
I'm still not able to go back to heavy lifting and running yet, but everything else is OK! Loving having the binder off. Noticing a little swelling if I'm really active, but otherwise no complaints. I feel great, and I'm still shocked every time I get dressed. I'm down a pants size and two shirt sizes. 14 pounds total, and I seem to have settled there.

Dr. Griffiths is *amazing.* He can seem very clinical (almost to the point of being a little standoffish) on office visits pre-surgery, but having used him for a surgery for my son, I knew how fabulous his work was and how absolutely I wanted him to do my surgery. He clearly loves the surgical part of his practice, and the closer it gets to surgery day, the warmer and more excited he gets. He's been amazingly supportive through aftercare, and accessible for all my questions via text message/cell. I'm always able to walk right back for my appointments, and I feel like he's really listening to me and answering any questions I might have. But most importantly, my surgery went smoothly and my results are beautiful. I could not recommend him more highly!

Thank you!
When you say you have more swelling when you're more active, what do you mean? Active as in cleaning, sittin at a desk working, walking?
Yeah, cleaning, bending and twisting, that kind of thing.
Kudos to you!!! You look amazing

Pics from week 2

I'm definitely getting flatter every day! :D Today I woke up and was truly FLAT. No photo, since I was in the buff, but I'm so so happy. :) Still a little swelling left, out by my hips, but it's nothing compared to what I had initially. Down 8 pounds total, so far. Nice side benefit. :) But I went lingerie shopping yesterday, and it sure was fun trying all those things on my flat tummy once I got home!

Absolutely beautiful!! Congrats!!
Have you gone back to work? How much pain were you in?
I'm a stay at home mom, but the first two weeks I was pretty useless. My doc said he took a lot of skin, and my surgery was more extensive than he'd expected, and he'd originally told me I should feel normal after one week. I'm at 3 weeks PO now, and back to normal activities with my binder on, except heavy exercise. It still aches and burns a bit, but I don't need to take anything. Not gonna lie, though, it was definitely WAY more painful than either of my C-sections for those couple of weeks. The first ten days, I needed pain killers to sleep, and I needed them all day for the first five or so.
Amazing!!!!
