Weight gain post op??

WORTH IT$14,000
Any other ladies experiencing weight gain? I'm up 10 pounds since surgery! Yes 10! Now my clothes fit better prior to surgery and I'm back to working out full time. I'd like to think its from lifting weights again but I'm not sure. Wish I had taken my measurements after surgery, but I did not.
My husband suggested that my new boobs may way 5 pounds each! Haha
Anyone else experiencing weight gain 6 months post op?

6 months post op!

It's funny how the thought of 6 months post op seemed so far away at one time. But yet here it is. Life is back to normal. Doing all my prior surgery activities. I feel fantastic. Although I'm not down a size, I am still thrilled with my results. I haven't been doing much with my scar other then putting on bio oil occasionally. It looks much lighter in person then it shows in pictures. Again, I'm not too concerned about it, the only ones that will ever see it are me and my husband. Happy healing ladies!

You look wonderful!

Thank you! Forgot to post that I still experience swelling throughout the day. I am also still numb above and below belly button.

You look absolutely fantastic!! Maybe you didn't go down in a clothing size but when you look back to your "befores" you've been through a major transformation and must feel incredible!!! Can't wait to join you on the flat side this fall! I hope my results will be as good. I don't know if people will even notice because I am currently always wearing so many different contraptions underneath my clothes (spa X, etc.) to smooth things out. It will be so wonderful to not have to do that anymore! Or at least once the swelling stops! Do you still wear compression garments?
August 8, 2016
Haha I knew what you meant! No I haven't worn any garments since 11 weeks. Thank you for the kind words! Best of luck to you on your upcoming surgery. So worth it!

It sounds crazy writing that. Time sure does fly. Things are going great. I. Back to all normal activity. I couldn't be happier with my results. I'm not down a size but all my clothes fit so much better. Still not brave enough to wear a bikini but my tankini fits great!
Due to the necrosis I had I didn't start my scar therapy until late. Unfortunately I had an allergic reaction to the scar strip my ps gave me. I'm going to put a call into him and see what else he suggests. I have been using bio oil but not consistently. I do have a hard spot in my incision which the ps tells me is scar tissue. I was told to massage it.
Honesty I'm not too concerned with the scar itself. It's not like I will ever wear any kind of clothing that would show it. It looks way darker in the pics then it actually looks in person.
I still have numbness above and below my belly button. I also continue to swell throughout the day. I'm being told 6months to a year for that. Still so thankful I decided on having this surgery! Even with the few bumps in the road I experienced, I have zero regrets!
Happy healing everyone!

So glad that you're pleased! I continue to swell, also, but I haven't seen my PCP yet to have her check it out. I hope all of our puffiness is normal post-op and will eventually resolve. I don't mind how it looks as much as I worry that it means that something is wrong. :-(
But I am the queen of the worry warts - LOL.

I will be so glad when the swelling subsides! I always feel so puffy by mid day. Hope you are doing well! Hard to believe it's been 5 months already!

I know you wish you had more Before pics, but the ones you DO have show pretty damn well how REMARKABLE your results are! You look GREAT! And a nice low incision to boot!

I do feel great and I exercise regularly and eat right, it's the damn scale that threw me off! Lol
Hope things look up for you soon!
