WORTH IT$4,750
I'm just so frustrated....I just want this seroma to go away. I've been drained 3 times and I still feel fluid. The doctor came to my house to drain, I laid in bed for 30 minutes, compression garment is on and haven't done much all day. Trying lymphatic massage on Tuesday.

I'm now 3 weeks post-op all bandages are off and stitches for belly button are gone. Still swollen plus I have seroma which My PS is manually draining. Still not 100% happy with my results but I think that is because if the swelling and seroma.

Thank you! My PS came to my house yesterday and removed 7 huge tubes of liquid. I'll go back on Monday for another check up and then on Tuesday he wants me to have a lymphatic massage. I can see a big difference in my stomach size. Just glad that he recognized the seroma and dealt with it quickly.

It has been 2 weeks since my TT and in my opinion I still look the same as I did the day after. Actually I think I look more swollen now then I did before. I know it's a waiting game and real results aren't seen until around the 2 month period.
Yesterday my doctor took all but 4 stitches out from my belly button and has left only that and the area were my drains were bandaged.
I went back to work 12 days after the operation and while I get tired quickly I don't have any pain and can stand erect. My biggest gripe is stomach tightness which drives me nuts. I feel like someone rubbed crazy glue all over my stomach.
What I have noticed is that I get full faster, thus I eat less. Anyone experience this. I wonder if it has more to do with the binder then the operation.
