so its been 2 months, I just have one concern, My right under arm looks great I have very little skin hanging not too noticeable, but my left under arm still have a lot of skin hanging. Spoke with Doctor regarding this issue he said's that just like we have one arm longer then the other, and a breast large then the other, I just it changes by the 6 months the Doctor advises me to wait for 6 months cause I am still swelled. Hopefully it evens out like the other right arm & hopefully it wont be an additional cost to fix it if there's any problem..Other the that I still feel a little numbed from my ab and a little bit of loose skin but its not hanging need to keep up with exercise and eating right.

I am super puffy. My waist measures exactly as it did before the procedure but it is definitely a different shape. My lower back is in so much pain, I am guessing bc I am sleeping on it now, and I am putting more pressure on it with my new posture as well...who knows. Ouch! I can't imagine having sore arms as well :(. You poor thing! At least you got it all out of the way and recovery should be all down hill from here.

I know! there was definitely a change a good change of shape. Same here, I am seeing a different shape hopefully my abdominal goes down a little more, but at least my lower ab that was hanging is gone. As long as I don't put pressure on my abdominal or on my arms it does not hurt. Sure hope so it will be a lot easier from now on. How are you doing? any update on the rash? hope you feel better

I am on day 2 of steroids so it's too soon to really tell if they are helping, and that it is indeed a rash. I know I'm not supposed to exercise for another week but I did just bike about 9 miles and it wasn't bad at all. Good to get out of the house since fall only lasts a couple weeks here in Kansas :)
