Finally feeling better!
So I got half my stitches removed last wednesday ....nurse said it wouldnt hurt...[RS bleep]!!then she kept talking and making eye contact with me while removing them. .. just wanted her to focus lol!Dr.said I was still extremely swollen and prescribed Dyazide said it would help with swelling due to water retention. The other half of my stitches come out this Wednesday. I decided not to listen to my surgeon and I wore a girdle past Thursday and oh god I felt so good!im supposed to wear a girdle till all my stitches come out.but...I couldn't take the swelling anymore. I noticed the difference immediately. Here are some pictures I took a few minutes ago.i still have a lot of swelling but nothing compared to before girdle wearing.

Feeling Blue
Ok so physically im doing better.I can walk a bit straighter.My incision feels like a scab.Everytime I walk I feel like its stretching so its a bit uncomfortable. Yesterday I cried myself to sleep.I tried on a really cute thong I have and I could totally see incision!I don't think its low enough!!!!I told my husband I was sorry I had spent so much money for something I was regretting. He hugged me and said he loved me didnt care about scar and he didnt agree with me.he says incision was visible because that thong is not my size lol . Of course I don't believe him..but at this point whats done is done...then I see more curve on my left side but but my mom says im just very swollen still. .I am.but I still think Dr.lipoed my left side more!! Im just questioning everything about this surgery. I do look way better than I was before but so far not the results I was hoping for. Sux I still have stretch marks. Dr. Had warned me about that since they were above my belly button. My pubic area is also very swollen. Anyway I hope as my swelling goes down I start looking good n normal lol..im out, good night!
