Tummy Tuck, Breast lift, and Circumferential Thigh Lipo!!! Patience is a Virtue in the healing process!!!

Hi RS family! I decided to do a castor oil pack to see is it will help with the swelling above my belly button. And voila! I really think it has. I followed the Edgar Cayce instructions and payed in my recliner for about 4 hours with 2 heating pads. One on my back and the other on my tummy. After that I tried to sleep in the wrap but end up feeling too constructed at about 4 in the morning , so I took it off. But I can definitely feel the difference. My tummy does not feel as tight as before. I will include pics of the wrap and after I took it off. Otherwise everyday gets better....I guess??? Still have the belly and flank swelling, and occasional burning sensation in my legs. My incisions on my breast and tummy are flat and healing very nicely. Today I go for my lymphatic massage at Massage Envy. I will let you know how that goes. Bye for now!

Well Real self family! Today is exactly One month since my surgery. I've been walking straight up since about week to i've been walking straight up since about week 2. I'm still swelling daily not as bad as before every day gets much better. The more active I am the more swelling I get. Also the flutes the type of foods I eat I noticed does affect how much swelling I'm having and also the water intake. So it's much better to try to drink as much water as possible. I go for my lymphatic massage at massage envy on Monday. The office coordinator at my ps informed me yesterday that she's offering me three more vellashape appointments. I am so happy for that because I'm still not happy with my flanks. I don't have that hourglass shape yet. The tummy is somewhat flat considering the swelling, but I will admit I'm a little anxious to see my final results. My PS assured me that I will be happy with results by 3 months post op. Can't wait. Still sleeping in my recliner because it is so much more comfortable. I can't wait till I can sleep flat in my bed again. I hope that will be soon. I can't right now. I tried and the swell hell awoke me. I think laying flat induces the swelling. Any who... I went out on Saturday night with out my compression garment and had a good time, but as soon as I got home I got back in it. Other than that I wear my Stage 2 garment 24/7. I'm not playing with that. According to all my reader has and my doc.... The CG makes a big difference in the success of my outcome. I will post a few pics for those of you requesting. Even though I'm not that comfortable with my body as yet.

Hey real self family! Well it's almost one month post surgery. At least it will be one month on Wednesday and I guess I will say I would I'm recovering pretty well. I'm back to my normal routine except for exercising. I have not started exercising yet. Although I should because I don't feel like I've lost anymore weight since the first two weeks. I am pretty much holding it steady. Sometimes with the swelling it's hard to get all of my water in, however I'm going to push myself this week. Also plan to start my 10 day green smoothie cleanse on 3 December . I will definitely lose from doing that. I'm still worried about my tummy......there's puffiness and I'm not sure if it's swelling or if it's fat above my belly button. I'm worried that even if I go back for lipo of that area will the skin be loose and not tight enough where it wouldn't flap over my belly button. This whole transformation and healing is somewhat nerve wrecking! So going back a week......I had my Velashape appointment last Thursday. It was pretty good. Tory was great. We had great conversation throughout my entire session. Not sure if I really notice a difference. It felt good except for when the device heated up too much in one spot. I won't be back for follow up treatments due the cost. For my legs and flanks will be $ 550 per session. Can't afford that!!!! Anywho..... I will be scheduling an appointment with Massage Envy for a lymphatic massage. I will let you know how that goes. I will post pics by the end of the week. Have a great week family and Happy Thanksgiving!!
