Sorry for not being as active as I had hoped. I know you'd like to know that I am doing well but more that I have something to show for it so here are some photos from a moment ago. Now, full disclosure, I've unfortunately gained weight since surgery, but I'm still happy with the results themselves. I'm considering that after losing about 10-20 lbs, I'd go for a revision on what looks like loose skin at my lower abdomen.

I cannot believe I neglected to post these! This was the condition of my body (174lbs at 5',6") when I got a quote. By the time I went in for surgery, I was almost 10lbs heavier. Pagadala definitely did a work on me!

I was actually a little nervous reaching out based upon prior reviews but I sent the previous pictures I posted to the office via email that night and got a response the very next morning.

Vicki called me and eventually put Dr. P on the line. He seemed like he was rushing but was responsive. He said he wanted to see me to make sure that it wasn't a seroma.

I don't live in GA so I came up with a plan to see how things go for two weeks.

I had trouble compressing the area directly and truthfully, I've been lax on compression in general because it irritates my skin and makes me overall uncomfortable.

Here's some step-by-step photos of what I've been doing with the garment they provided since my last update along with how things look this morning. Pretty good. Right?

I can see a big improvement from the previous pictures. Is your faja open in the groin? Maybe you need one of the longer styles or compression shorts. I know they aren't exactly comfortable but you've invested too much to be lax with compression, end up with a seroma or loose skin from too much swelling. Hang in there! It's going to be a long road but look at your before pics....wowza!!
It will be worth it in the end.

Are you finding this method helpful? Does the upper portion swell more?
