You must be so frustrated in your mind...you are not as bloated as you think: YOU LOOK AMAZING! Remember your body went through an out-of-this-world-ordeal, you have to give it some time. You are still just days post- op considering. I look at your photographs and I see the difference and I'm (1.) totally jealous :-) (2.) totally happy for you (3.) totally jealous (4.) totally amazed that modern science can perform this and really make a person feel whole. And you will be feeling better, sweetie. Just give it time,. You're totally like me. You want to be flat as a penny and reap the rewards NOW. But you can't. You have to deal with the tubes and the draining and the healing of stitches and all the bloating FIRST. But don't worry... it will soon be over because you are looking phenomenal, and I'm so proud of you! Just have some patience, and if you can't stand it, call and bark at your doctor's office to make yourself feel better. But babe, you are smokin'. You are looking beautiful! I hope my little pep talk helps....because it's all true. (((big hugs))) :-))

Your pep talks always help tremendously. Thank you so much for all the kind words and I guess deep down I knew only the lower belly was fixed but I guess I was just hoping my top belly would get lonely and would have went with it. They have been best friends and together for almost 38yrs so that was rude the bottom left the top behind. I decided not to pay any extra and just fix bottom which insurance and told myself I can work on the top so that's what I hope to do when done healing. You are awesome thanks again for all your inspiration.

I too had mine done about 10 days ago and when I looked in the mirror I cried. Mine Panniculectomy was done due to Heath reasons after a scar attached itself to my abdominal wall after my hysterectomy. Mine looks worse than yours and my skin falls over the incision like a smile. My surgeon isn't a ps but did a great job with incision but not the tightening and bc it was hit health reasons only I really can't complain but am so disappointed. Keep your chin up as yours is better thans mine and looks like it's mostly swelling. I'm hoping I look better in clothes at least.

Thanks clnn it does get better with time. I'm a month out now and do feel better so you will too. Can at least wear my Reg clothes again. I always use my iPhone and upload the pictures when you update your status it ask if want to post a picture not sure how can send one as a personal attachment. Hate you had health problems. I bet you look awesome.
