Swelling still up and down. There does seem to be a bit more extra tissue, fat, on one side. Could just be swelling yet. I'm confident that it'll resolve or will be taken care of my PS. I feel very well taken care of by my doctor. Very happy I went with him.
Note on swelling....its mostly lower swelling but occasionally it's upper abs that swell. Looks so weird. Goes away by the next day.

Took that tape off this morning and happy with the incision thus far. Felt sooooo good to get it off. I didn't realize how much it was annoying me till removing it. I still have a bunch of glue stuck to my skin. If anyone has tips on removing that is love to know!
Still got the swelling bump/ledge/tube. I'm staying positive. It'll resolve as my PS says.
Been cleared for upper body workout and light cardio. Excited to get back at it and can't wait to be cleared for it all!

You look great! Be prepared to swell when you work out. I used to put my binder on just to workout because it was insanely uncomfortable. Start slow! Your swelling will definitely resolve! Congrats and welcome to the flat side!

Yay! Can’t wait til I’m cleared for more exercise. I wear my compression garment all the time to help with swelling, it definitely gets tighter by evening, but back to normal in the morning.

Did you find the drugs made you feel sick or bunged up? I was looking into CBD oil for pain as well. Did you use arnica for the brusing?

I did get constipated. It was very unpleasant. I used milk of magnesia but it did little. I can't take arnica due to kidney issues. But my doc did recommend it.

I'm hoping to stay ahead of constipation.
Don't get discouraged. It's a healing process. Look at your before and afters so far. It's a crazy difference. You gonna rock a bikini !

Before and during....i hope this isn't the after
So much swelling. It's hard to know what to expect for final results right now. The bumps on my side's are my hip bones, not much to be done there but the bulge in the lower abdominal area has me feeling blue.
