WORTH IT$7,825
I know it's been a while but the last couple of weeks I had the flu so everybody been asking for updates I only have 1 pic for now but I'll add more once I get better besides having the flu I was doing good I had went back to work No problems only probably I was swelling and that's not going away No time soon so I learn to Deal with it in the morning im ok but by the end of the day im in swell hell I I'm really glad I made the decision to have the sx the Dr told me he removed 9 1/2 pounds of skin and fat he said it was mostly hanging skin so I think the whole process was worth it I hope everyone else is healing fine and good luck to everyone thats preparing for the sx

Are you still having to wear the binder 24/7? I go Monday for my 2 week apt with him and I'm hoping to get my drains out. My tape is starting to peel on each corner of my incision and it's itching so bad! I cut off the half inch that had rolled away from my skin (from binder rubbing it off) so it feels a tad better but it's still so itchy :/

yes i still have to weat binder until the end of January but she said i could wear some spanks and put binder on top of spanks but she said dont throw away the binder cause when i start back working out i can use it for the swelling my tap came off long time ago only tape i had left on my incision was on both of my hips whatever part of your incision doesn't have tape you need to put something on it i use mederma but 2day i got cream from dr so im using that now

Swelling is to be expected. Try to drinks LOTS of water - a gallon per day at least. It will help flush out the fluid through your urine. You need to let your Dr. know you're having a continuing headache. If you're not drinking enough fluid, it could be signs of dehydration. On the other hand, that is also a sign of high blood pressure and even signs of a stroke. I don't want to freak you out, but I would definitely let your Dr. know and see what he thinks. Please call in the morning! Best wishes to you!
