Things are going well. Had my follow-up with Dr. Deal. He and I agreed I had some puffy spots at the ends of the incisions that he's going to flatten out. I just have to make the appointment. After summer! I'm enjoying wearing a bikini at the beach right now!! Here's an updated pic last weekend.

You look great! I have those at end of my incisions swell I'll have to see why my doctor says. Your incision looks so light :)

Thank you! I didn't really realize how much different it is until recently - when it is you, it is different. My incision is very light, which is why I decided to leave it alone and just fix the small places that are puffy. Dr Deal offered to revise the whole incision to get it lower. I don't need that - it is plenty low enough and looks so much better than I expected. He's doing the revision for free. I really like how he does things I'm very pleased with my doctor choice!

Dr. Deal is doing my mommy makeover in a couple weeks. Do you have any new pics of your scar?

Sorry, just saw this. I am going back for my touch up in a couple weeks - dog ear on the sides and a spot on my hip that stayed pudgy. I hope you are doing well. I hope yours turned out great!

I am feeling so much more normal. I found out this week that I can run. It was unintentional. First time, my dogs got out and they were in the street. I freaked out and ran. What surgery? When your adrenaline is up, you forget. I survived it. Then I was chased by a hornet as big as my pinky!! I ran then too.

Swelling is getting so much better. It is different now though - it's in my hips and thighs. My belly doesn't swell as much. And I have this pinching pain that is sharp and burning in my chest next to one of the lipo ports. The port is healed. It hurts when I cough, sneeze or bend down to pick up something. Other than that and still have fatigue, I'm fine!

4 Weeks today

This past week has been up and down. I have been in swell hell most of the time. Ordered myself a new span CG. Feel like I'm between sizes XL and 1X. I bought both. I kinda feel like I fit the XL but I have a big booty so it's hard to get it on. Really hard!!! I guess considering I started with a 3XL stage 1, I'm getting somewhere.

I went shopping on Sunday and didn't feel like trying on. I bought a XL dress which I took back today because it was way too big.

My incision is healed and I have started putting silicone tape on it. Today is day 2 with that. We shall see how that goes! The pic here is with the tape.
