Lymphatic massage

I am doing pretty good other than still having a lot of swelling around my waist. I am trying a lymphatic massage tomorrow. Has anyone else tried this?? How did it work?

Well I finally have all my drains out which feels great! But I will admit to feeling lost without looking for them to put around my neck.
My doctor was very happy with how my scarring looks and he then gave me these silicone wraps to use. Has anyone else used them? They have scaring cream in them and can be used for 3-4 weeks. They come off when I shower and I clean them and put them back on.
I have attached some photos as well.

You look amazing! I know that feeling of being drain free! I got my last 2 out yesterday and I feel so free! I haven't seen that particular brand of silicone sheeting before, but I love that it comes in the perfect nipple cut out! I bought Mepitac silicone tape off of Amazon that I started using yesterday. It's what my PS uses in his office and it's inexpensive which is fine by me! Can't wait to see how your sheeting works in comparison! Happy healing!

Oh my gosh, our bodies look like twins. I am so excited for you. I plan next year to have my body lift. Thank you for sharing your progress with us! I have been trying to decide if the body lift could really help all the stretch marks I have above my belly button. Did you keep your own belly button or did they recreate one? You are healing great! Are you eating a lot of protein? I have tons of questions...lol.

I have a new belly button. My old one is now below where my incision is. (I know this from a scar I had). I do eat a lot of protein. I do use Isagenix protein shakes. I am more than happy to answer what I can for you.

I love Isagenix! My hubby uses it to. So healthy and good for you. Thanks for answering!

This may be an odd question but the last two days I have started to experience sporadic burning on my right side of my incision. Sometimes when I move it feels like it's coming open. It's definitely not, the incision actually looks great there. Is this normal anyone else experience this???

I had a burning sensation pretty early on my back incision line. From what I understand, it's normal. All of those nerves are trying to reconnect. Apparently there's a lot of these squeaks and tweaks along the road to recovery.
