I HATE the swelling (but dont feel swolen) I'm still trying to understand why I am weighing more now than before surgery...the morning of surgery I measured and weighed myself, came home from surgery and weigh 10 lbs more! and my thighs are 2 inches bigger as well...what is going on with me? And these UGLY "dog ears" that i have....

Ahh Hun I feel for you I'm going through the same I put on 9lbs and was heavier than before my surgery
I feel like a failure I really do.. I'm eating crap as feel low and it's a vicious circle and I'm eating as I'm writing this!

Oh Emma, I think we both need someone to tell us this is all NORMAL! I keep asking myself this question...did I really pay thousands of dollars to feel and look like this?

You are recovering. Your body has been through trauma. Swelling will follow gravity so it is common to have swelling in your mid section thighs and legs. It can take months for all the swelling to resolve. If you had Lipo even more so. Forget the number on the scale. Looking good girl!

I weigh about 14 pounds more since my surgery. I think it has to do with the swelling still and the limited mobility that goes on after surgery. You look slimmer and so do I yet we weigh more. I too weighed 10 pounds more the day following the surgery and I freaked out! Slowly we will lose the weight. Our bodies go thru a lot with the shock we put it through.

I just want to fit into my presurgery clothes...lol I also hate the stupid little "dog ears" I now have. I hope my surgeon is willing to fix them at no extra charge, I know most do.

I know he did some lipo with my tt, so not sure if it would be the same or not.

Awww. Sorry to hear that! 2 months is still not very long.. It can take up to a year for your body to settle....

thank you, I know I've been told its still early, but geesh I don't really feel swollen so I don't understand. :( (down in the dumps)

So I guess that's called swell hell?? My tt isn't until may so I'm just reading about all this :). I phoned to book my pre op appt today for mar 31! I was nervous to call! That also when I had to pay up. Lol

Swell Hell, I guess...lol I hate being so negative feeling all the time since my tt, I know it will all get better I just need more patients. So when you have your tt remember that! I don't know what it is about the cg, but I feel so much better when I have it on...STILL! I know a lot of people I have talked to say they only wore theirs for about a month...psh...it's my new best friend! I know how excited you are about having yours done...before I had mine it was on my mind every second :) Looking forward to hearing more from you!
