7 weeks 5 days post op - Swell Hell still (pic)
So this morning when I woke up I wasn't as swollen but definitely more swollen than I was 3 weeks - 6.5 weeks post op. I have been swollen since then and it's driving me crazy...
I thought we were supposed to get flatter not bigger grrrr!

7 weeks 2 days post op!! Swell hell!
Hello ladies I haven't posted in about 4 weeks it looks like. Sorry about that just been so darn busy!
Anyway just wanted to post and say that weeks 4 - 6 were awesome! I only experienced some minor swelling but the last few days I am in total swell hell. Anyone else experience this at 7 weeks post op? Is it normal? It drives me crazy!
I will try to post a side by side comparison of how I look in the morning compared to how my stomach looks in the evening. Doc said I didn't need to wear the compression garment anymore but I love using it when I get really swollen. It helps a little bit!!

2 weeks & 5 days post op! Started scar care / weird bubble blister looking thing... Lots of questions for you ladies too :)
Had a follow up with my PS today.. he says all looks good and says that I am still pretty swollen on my sides then said after the swelling goes down we can consider liposuction on the sides if I wanted to or I could just work it off with exercise.. not sure how I should take that because I wanting lipo from the beginning but he didn't want to because he thought I would look deflated :( not sure what's up with that! Anyway he said I can now pick up my kids but I can't start working out my core yet because I can risk widening the incision which would make for a less attractive scar long term... but can do any other workouts that doesn't inpact the core. He recommended Skin Medica Scar Recovery Gel so I started with that today. Anyone else use the strips rather than the gel? I heard alot of good things about the strips so not sure why he recommended the gel. Any thoughts?
I am SO FRICKEN HAPPY from the front and side view but from a couple other angles from the back side it still looks very weird where the sides stick out... anyone else have this and it turned okay after swelling was gone?
I also have this weird bubble/blister looking spot on my incision in the very front... he was thinking maybe a pubis hair is causing inflammation or possibly the incision is trying to "spit a stitch" so I asked what to look for and he said if it turns red to call the office. Anyone else have this on their incision before? If so, how did you care for it etc...?

I don't want to provide a review yet until I get a clear picture of what the final results are going to look like. I just know based on research that I "should be" in good hands with Dr. Christian Prada.
