4 wks - binder off and back to normal activity

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.

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!

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!
