Looking hottie hot hot hot! Love the beach pic...too adorable.
It just takes time:-) you're looking ready for summer soooo cute;)
I know just 7 weeks I figured the boobs would be a little lower by now lol giving it another week then will call surgeon
I had surgery last week and have the same crease with my belly button. My PS assures me that it will go away when the swelling goes down, have you noticed yours going away?
I also had over 100 pounds lost (VSG weight loss surgery), you look AMAZING!!! Congrats on the loss and the new you.
When I'm sitting or not swollen my belly button looks more normal. I keep a ear plug in it to help shape it :) great job on ur weight loss!!!

3 weeks down!

So I am now 3 weeks post opp I swell a but more in the late afternoon and evening ... I am still wearing my binder as I find it more comfortable than the other garments actually ordered 2 more lol

So my breasts have started itching and it is horrible. I hope it goes away soon.

I also started scar therapy using the silicone strips

The silicone made me itchy bad.. So I just used paper tape lol benedryl helps a little!!:-)
Yeah I bought some cortisone today it helped a ton
I just want to say I am so happy for you and glad you made it out safely. Sofa so good. Are you happy thus far?
I am very very happy this far can't wait for no swelling though lol I look like I have a pooch in the late afternoon lol
Wow, congratulations on your complete body transformation!!! That is an amazing amount of weight to lose, good for you! I hope your recovery progresses quickly! I got my drains out yesterday ... Man do I ever feel better without them!!!
Right it's amazing when they come out lol
I love reading about amazing results like yours! Congratulations you look great! How was the bypass surgery procedure for you? Obviously your end results are great but did you have any problems recovering from that surgery?
No major issues I did get a tad under weight but quickly changed up my eating and exercise to gain it back ... I would not change it for anything I am healthy and happy for the first time in my life
Awesome!

The swelling is normal. Wear your CG and drink lots of water and avoid salt! I'm almost 8 weeks PO and I still have swelling at the end of the day. It's not noticeable to anyone but me. Happy healing!
I am still wearing my surgery one as I am so short I can not wear the gridle style ones for to long they cut into my thighs. So I go back and forth.
Awesome results!!!! Swelling sticks around for months I hate to say!!! Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones;)
You look amazing!! Great job!!
THanks :)
You have a hot body!
