WORTH IT$8,787
I just thought I’d update again because the outfit I have on today people are really noticing my tiny waist and flat belly so I thought I’d share the picture with you. Still experiencing lower swelling.

4 Month Update
All is well. No complaints. I’m still dealing with swelling and yes, the compression garment still provides comfort. What has changed is that I no longer wear the compression garment at night, only during the day. I tried not wearing it for a few days this week but by day 4 I really felt I needed it’s support and comfort. I lost about 2 lbs since my last post on here. Not bad considering it was during the holidays. Today is January 1st New Year’s Day. I’m so thrilled to have a flat tummy now. My goal now is to get disciplined and get back on my treadmill 1 hour walking at first to build up to a 5k jog.
I’ve been dragging my feet since November with a head cold then stomach bug plus busy holiday running around etc. But no more excuses. Hopefully my update next month I can say I’m walking daily. Fingers crossed. Attached are updated photos. Pardon the red marks on my stomach it’s from the compression garment. I also think my lower abdomen is pretty swelled.

You look great! I’m 11 months post op and when my period comes I still put my binder on. its the only thing that helps. hoping in the future though that i won’t need anything. Glad to see you are doing well otherwise. happy new year to you!
Happy New Year to you too. I’m relieved to hear you’re still using your binder too at 11 months. I have tried not to use it but it’s rough during the day without it. Night time is no problem.
Very nice results already!! I’m in the same boat, no more excuses...gotta get my ass moving. I have a recumbent bike/elliptical machine I just got. 3 days now of 30 minutes a Day. Would love to work up to an hour myself! Can’t wait to see your post a month from now. :) keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you so much. I still need some motivation to get myself on track. I’ve been over indulging a bit too much lately. I will get on track soon. I just need to put aside the time and just make it happen.
I am right there with you!!! I just gotta get going
we can do it! :-)

Waist Cincher-Maybe?
Still swelled daily. Again nothing hurts and nothing to complain about. Loving the results and loving feeling more confident. Best thing I ever did. Now here’s a new twist for thought. I’m thinking my compression garment and binder just no longer is strong enough for the swelling. I had a thought to try a waist cincher also known as a waist trainer. I have no desire to have crazy corset 10 inch waist results- but Only trying it because it provides a stronger compression to hopefully keep this swelling down. I just started using it about 2 weeks. It does provide more compression and it feels comfortable. But still swelled up so not sure what to do. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

Hey! Happy to hear from you! I am 10 months post op and still swell at times. It gets less and less each month though. I do notice it stays down if I feel it start and I put some compression on. Hopefully it gets better for you soon!
