Doing better each day, but still wear out quickly. Breasts hurt worse than the huge incision on tummy. New belly button has bothered me a lot, I think it's trying to take on its new position and nerves make it feel strange.

The glue tape on my abdomen from hip to hip finally pealed off the rest of the way tonight after a warm shower.

I finally slept in the bed last night but still more comfortable in the recliner. I go for my three week check up on Tuesday.

Breasts have a thin spiral type wire around areola that is itchy and driving me nuts. I hope he takes that out.

Everyone says how great I look and how I am standing up straighter!! I bet!! 24 lbs lost with surgery, minus the fluids still from swelling.

Which dr said swelling will be around for 6 months until final product.

Here are some new pics.

I go I next week for a panniculectomy. I'm most curious as to what to expect for a size difference. I'm afraid I won't have any pants that will stay up! Can you tell me what size you wore previous to your sugary and what you came out wearing? I realize it will continue to change but I'm anxious to know what the immediate result is. I currently wear a 5x and want at least one pair of pants. I'm sure my shirts will be ok for the time being.

Hi there! I had a panniculectomy and a breast reduction with lift. So everything is huge on me. I will say this, I was not expecting so much swelling. I have been trying to wear a lot of loose knit dresses. I was wearing a 2x prior to surgery, I am currently wearing 1x but they are getting looser each day as the swelling goes down a little. I wore a lot of knit shorts at first as they were the most comfortable. My Dr said to expect swelling for 4-6 months!!!! I thought that was a long time, but he knows what he's doing

Went to one week apt today and got all of my drains out and those spongy flower things off nipples. I'm so excited and feel great!!! I have to put this petroleum paper on top of nipples for seven days just to keep healthy. Dr said for as much work as I had done the swelling is to be expected. I go back in two weeks. He said the swelling in breasts will last 2-3 months aprox and tummy 4-6 months. Pics posted! The one is my lap.... Did you know we are supposed to have a lap?? ????????
