I went shopping today!!!

WORTH IT$6,700
I went shopping for new pants, because I dropped from size 14/16 to 8/10 , I'm very please about it. This coming Monday I will be back to work, it will be two months PO on the13th, Doing that TT, was my best gift to myself! Also I recommend for all ladies who did that, if you can ,do limphatic massage, it's really helps you to get rid of swollen and stiffness !

Hi! I hope all is well. I am having surgery with Dr.C 3/17. I was wondering who did your lymphatic massages?

You're coming right along there
Slowly but surely. I'm very happy with my results! Dr C did a amazing job.
There is a huge difference as compared to your before pics... Well done!
Yes well done Dr. C
He did one amazing job!
Looks like you are healing well. Compression is vital. I use a soft girdle that's solely covering my tummy, no shoulder straps. However during the day its faja or extra firm compression. I've learned you can burn yourself if your compression is too tight so take it easy adjusting but don't leave home without it.:-)
Oops I meant to say "soft girdle at night". Geez

This was a big set back!

I was ready to take my drain off,than I started to drain more than 25cc. My left side start to be red and hot, my right side to hurt when I move, so I took pictures and send with a text to Dr C, he called back right way, told me to use the heating pad and if it doesn't work call his office so I can have antibiotics. The heating pad works!! But my left side still draining a jelly thing. I'm going to call tomorrow and ask about it! But I'm love the way I look! Dr C is a very responsible person , he was on vacation, in the mountains when he called me, even with bad reception! I'm very please I choose him as my PS!

Oh wow yea i experienced the same thing I had those drains almost a month ....be careful with heating pad...you may be numb in some spots and can burn yourself without knowing....
Yeah ,I know ! I call them this morning and they said I can take the one drain with the pump off! And left the little one for 2 to 3 more days. Does it hurts when you take it off?
One of mines hurt coming out and the other didn't....but it wasn't unbearable ....good luck
Hi! Are u able to take a pic showing ur complete stomach and also from the side?
Sorry to hear you're having a challenge. Sending positive healing vibes your way
Hey hope all is well how is your healing coming along???
