I am 10 days post op and have been nothing but depressed since surgery as I am not on the flat side. Your pictures and posts have given me hope that I too will get better and to have more patience and faith. THANK YOU for giving me back some sunshine and hope.....

I had surgery by Dr. Charles Herman also. Found your review to be very helpful before I finally chose him. I had seen 3 other surgeons before going with him for my surgery. I had a breast lift done. Really happy. Like you said, it takes some time for the swelling to go down and healing. But worth it. Did a lot of research on this doctor too. I have referred him at least 3 of my friends. I know that 2 already had surgery with Dr. Herman and are really happy. One traveled from North Carolina and says it was worth it

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy...

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I have been on vacation for the past two weeks, and between over eating, and the sun, and my Sjogren's Syndrome, I have just about had it. My belly is so swollen from walking, my diet has been just crappy, and I am so, so tired. I followed doctors orders, I put sunscreen on my scar and tummy area so not to burn the skin around my tuck, I stayed out of the pool and hot tub, well I never really do the hot tub anyway, loaded with germs, lol...I am almost 8 weeks PO, and still swollen like a balloon, but I know that when I get home, and get back on track with my eating habits, I will look and feel fabulous, lol...I did buy a new bathing suit this year, but it was a one piece. I am really looking forward to buying a knock out bikini this summer.
I will post pics when I get home and deflate somewhat, lol

Swollen like I'm going to pop, ugh! I am 7 weeks PO, and vacationing for the Holidays. The more I walk, the more swollen I become. I feel like I am going to pop. I still get very full after I have a meal, and blow up like a baloon, when will it ever end, lol...
