Reduced swelling. I am still wearing compression garment....it helps me to reduce the swelling. One part of the incision is not heal completely yet sometimes tiny leak and wired oozing belly button. Other than that I am feeling tight and flat.
I tried my bikini on the other night and took some pics ;) I am loving it! But no way near to swim yet with those oozing.

after 3 weeks and half I have so much energy and I can do things... I am so happy that I can sneeze... I can laugh without having pain :)
Last week I found two spots have yellowish like pus and wiped out with the cu-tip... then I put bacitracin until my next appt... some reason I have a rash and they told me not to put anything. I am having until now.
The leak from the incision is almost gone. I thought it was closed and no leak for a few days and it's leak again but very little.
I am feeling like so pregnant and don't know how long it'll take!

You look amazing. I'm having a lower body and breast lift with Dr. Mariotti on Nov 17. Would you go to him again?

He did a great job on tummy tuck. It's still swelling a bit on lower abdomen but I love the shape. Lipo is not too sure. May be still healing or it would be the outcome.. I have to wait and see.

It's been awhile.. almost 4 weeks still leak and finishing 2 rounds of Antibiotic
PPCOctober 21, 2014
Okay.. i haven't update for weeks! Here is what happening past weeks... Day 14 was not a good day… felt so tired and headache. Staying in recliner and didn’t move much. Pain level evaluated. ...maybe I started my period! It was a mess when you wearing CG. Thank god that I have another cg which I ordered a week ago. About the CG… I am wearing Veronique. … I like the way it pull it together but it doesn't have a proper butt area. So I bought Leonisa and it’s not fitting too well… it's longer in the front /torso.. ..it is good for taller than 5’8”… I am 5’5”. Anyway..I went to see my PS on 13th day and he prescribed antibiotic for precaution as well as some bandages and some medicine to put on incision. I have to check in with them in 3 days. Pain is come and go.
I finished my first round of antibiotic and soreness didn't go down. So.. ps prescribed another antibiotic for 10 days. I am feeling so much better after those pills and no more sore. And no more pain killer either.
One spot is still leaks but less than before. Belly button looks great.
Today I am in day 27 and I am feeling great. Lower abdomen is still swelling but no as much as before. I wish it'll go away pretty soon.

You look great I have surgery scheduled with him for a tummy tuck on about a month. How long did it take you to walk up straight. I took three weeks off of work and hope that's enough time.
October 23, 2014
Sorry about my reply. 3 weeks is good enough to move around almost normal. You can walk straight up by then... but still swelling. Make sure you wear the CG when you go to work and have extra one... buy from them..it's cheaper than online and it's the best one so far. I ordered online from Leonisa and not fitting me well. First I thought Veronique CG make my butt flat ...actually it's not bad at all when I can walk up straight. I am wearing everyday. I am excited for you. Good luck!
October 27, 2014
Thank you! I am excited too, feeling all kinds of different emotions. I try not to think about it. But having this site does help. I feel like I am on here every night preparing myself mentally. Reading all the stories is getting prepared on what to expect I just hope I come out of surgery healthy. I am about your height and weight, The Veronique CG what website did you purchase it from? What do you recommend for food and beverages after surgery. I want to make sure I eat right after surgery, I have been reading that that can have an affect on the swelling. ?? Look forward to seeing more pics on your progress.

You will be fine. Don't try to get up yourself .. let someone to get you up from bed or a chair for the first week.
Garment..you can buy online or go their warehouse and try a few styles...you might need an appt. I am wearing medium and fitting so well. About the food, add fiber to your soup or soft food, salad and yogurt. I am drinking only water and arnica tea all day. I am a soup person...I am having soup until now. For the first and second week you will be too weak to stand up for long... get a chair in the shower.. it's help. I was so so weak and I almost passed out in the shower.
You will not be comfortable staying in bed unless you have a adjustable bed. I have regular bed and tried to put so many pillows and still didn't work..... I spent day and night in the recliner for 3 weeks.
A friend of mind told me to take Arnica tea and have lymphatic message for 3 times a week. I am going to schedule for the messages... I am taking B12, multivitamin, Arnica tea and arnica gel for the swelling part. I am not too sure Arnica gel helps but I want to reduce the swelling really fast.
Constipation is the problem. Please get the stool softener and some food that make you go.
Here is the Veronique warehouse:

Take it easy and try not to think about it :) I'll post more pics soon.
