26 3 Kids Under 4, Was Told TT Was my Only Option - Fairmont, WV

Thanks! I did tumescent lipo. I'm still wearing my garment too, and I look much better in the mornings. My swelling gets pretty bad at night. How far post op are you?

Oh my he did a awesome job,I did two procedures a week apart,and my stomach was about the size of yours but I just see a slight difference,not significant like your I'm three weeks post op from my abdomen ,and waist,and two weeks on my bra rolls,lower back,and hips and I paid a lot where is your dr.located?

Thank you :-) I'm sure in more time you'll notice a bigger difference. My dr is in fairmont, WV

I had upper and lower abdominals, and flanks done. The 5L at one time was very hard on my body though. I think my recovery was a little more rough because of it. As you can see from before pics I did have a high BMI, and there was plenty of fat to take lol

I am 145lbs and 5'4. My stomach look like yours i have lost a lot of weight on my own. I was always small. Had my son, gained weight, had my daughter and blew up! I reached 200 after i had her! Holy cow. But my sides and my abdominal area look like yours. I told them i wanted flanks and they put hips.... I want to confirm before I put any money down to make sure they understand what i want. Your results and all the obvious hard work after the procedure is what has given me the confidence to go forward with this. I shared your story with the surgeon I am going to have my procedure done with as i am looking for the same results. He said oh my! You can see the cut in the side of her abs she has been working out! He was so proud. :) it was you last update side view picture i showed him.

Thank you for your blog and continuing to stay involved with it. :)

That's awesome!! I wish you the best of luck! You'll have to post a photo so we can see progress, I hope it goes well for you!!

That makes me feel better that I'm not alone! I've been wearing my compression garment, but I switched to a stage 2 one, and I think it's too loose. I just ordered a new one so hopefully that helps. I've tried to massage a little myself, but does it help to get them done? This whole process is so frustrating! Sometimes I'm so happy and other times I feel like I wasted my money lol. I know it'll be worth it by the 4-6 month mark :-)

I had lymphatic massages and personally did not get the results I had hoped for. The sessions were $80 each and I did twice a week for three weeks. At almost three months I bought an electric hand held massager and used it aggressively and I am now 4+ months and both hardness and unevenness has subsided. I feel the massages were greatly responsible for that but it could be hitting the 4 month mark. The doctor at the three month checkup thought things were moving in the right direction and should b fine at the six month mark. I guess the bottom line is that at ur stage I experienced the same kind of issues as ur r. Hand held massager seemed 2 b my answer. I took my doctor's advise and used the massager 2-3 times a day for 10-15 minutes using something like cocoa butter. Good luck and I hope this helps.
