I been reading a lot of the ladies have there in longer it helps with the swelling that what I been told

Hi Mary, how are you coming along with your swelling?. I'm still swollen. Are you wearing a girdle and compression binder. I am so ready to stop wearing mine. I will post some current pics sometime this week. Let me know how you are coming along.

Still swollen like am pregnant. Going from spanx to compression still no difference, my family say they see the swelling going down but not to me.
December 13, 2016
That's good if they see you going down. I look like I'm pregnant as well. I'very been wearing a medium garment with a binder. My ps now wants me to wear a small garment and binder during the day time only. I'very paid for 2 extra large garments and a large binder at the start of surgery, then 2 medium garments and a small binder, due to my swelling, now I need to pay for 1 small garment and binder. I'very changed my diet since the surgery. I'mean not active, stay in bed when I'm not working. Blah blah... In any case, I was thinking to ask my ps for some sort of inflammation meds. I know it takes time but, I'miss hoping time is all I need and nothing else. Feeling sad now.

After I'm healed from this one, I'm thinking about going to the Dominican Republic to get butt implants. Do you know anything about that, hence you went out there for your surgery. I responded to below this comment as well.

Hi Mary! Thanks for sharing your journey. First, how is your healing process going and are you liking your results now? Also, did you get massages and if so, how often?
January 22, 2017
Am healing great, no infections. Am just swelling still very bad, waiting on my 6 months to really see, I like my results, but my stomach can be alot flatter. I did get massages, 3 a week for a month, than my fiance started doing them.

Wow! I'm asking questions because I, too, have been going back and forth between which doctor to use and I learned that some doctors lipo important fat that is needed to protect your organs in order to get the super flat tummy look. I have also read that some ladies have to wear compression every day for six months to maintain swelling.
January 22, 2017
Yes, 3 months and still need compression.
