WORTH IT$7,700
Today i am 6 weeks po and i must say i am really enjoying my new body!! I am working out 5 to 6 days a week which i think really aids in my healing. I am wearing my regular clothes and was told today that i can try not wearing the compression garment at night. My husband really hates that thing - he says it itches- ha ha. I still wear my spanx during the day (at work) and when i work out. I will be posting pictures tonight.

Blount you are doing and looking great...some weeks are just better than others in how we feel , think we look and our attitude..stay healthy and happy healing.
Thank you so much!!
Looking good in ur Zumba pants!!! So ur Zumbaing,( I just made it a verb!!!!!) 5 days a week??? That's it??? R u feeling the twisting when u dancing... Doesn't bother ur andominal muscle repair????
Thanks chica!! Yes i started back with zumba lol (5 days a week) - as a matter of fact, i am going to a zumba love fest Sunday! I will zumbaing for 4 hours straight lol. When i first started my tummy did feel a little heavy so i would modify the moves and not as hard but now i back at it full swing. I dont feel a thing when im out there shaking what my momma gave me lol. I do always wear my spanx tho so that may help alot. I got the ok from my PS that i dont have to wear my CG at night, so i got in the bed last night and didnt feel right, got right back up and put that bulky thing on and went fast asleep.
That's fantastic!!!! And u r losing weight, even better!!!! Did u have a muscle repair too???
Tell me, when did you begin to use the Arnica? Is it really good?
I started using the arnica pellets and gel about 3 weeks ago - so i was 3 weeks po. So far i think its pretty amazing. I have noticed my swelling has gone down and i experience very little pain. Its worth a shot. I purchased mine from Amazon.com but then i saw it at Vitamin Shoppe and purchased there too. Let me know if it helps you?

Hello today i am weeks post op and my belly looks...

Hello today i am weeks post op and my belly looks sooooo good!! i cant help but stare at myself lol. I am still swollen but can notice a big difference! I purchased biocorneum and use that on my scar. I also use Arnica for the swelling. I have been eating super healthy and back to working out 5 days a week. I experience no pain except when i sneeze and unfortunately its starting to get warm and the pollen is out there! I often experience itching on my scar or either right above it where i am still numb so that drives me crazy!! but its all worth it in the end. I will be posting my 5 week pictures when i get home tonight after my workout. I lost another 2lbs bringing my total weight loss to 17lbs.
