You look fabulous!
Thanks doll. Happy healing to you!
thank you for updating! your results are amazing! may I ask what CG you've used throughout your healing process? also how long did you use the Ace bandage?
The 1st week I was in the cg that I left Dr. Boutte's office in. It became loose within days. My compression was topifoam for comfort for my skin and that cg. I had bad fluid build up and had to be drained week 2 so after that my cg no longer fit at all. After being drained I wore an ace bandage for 2 weeks with the cg over it because although it wasn't as snug, it still gave compression to my pubic area. I made sure the ace bandage was properly wrapped. I then purchased a stage 2 cg from raineywear.com. It's an all over cg. Looks like me wearing a little jumper with boy shorts. Wellllt that got too big in a week lol. I then purchased some spanx. Worked well. Then those became too big. Ha. So I had my cg from raineywear taken in at the cleaners. Cost $32. It became big again. Lol. So by week 5 I was wearing the cg I had taken in with a waist cincher over it during the day, and at night still the same cg but with my ab board tucked in. Still compressed well at night. Now over 2 months I plan on getting my cg taken in again this weekend. My waistline went from a 38 to 28 and I've lost 15lbs.
Wow Lady! You are looking some kind of wonderful! Thank you for posting. I still have some discoloration on my stomach. I am still in the itchy stage so I can not use my regular skin products on my stomach. I have also been coming home and laying a heating pad on my stomach. It really relaxes me and helps to relive the discomfort of sitting in my cg and waist trainer all day. Of course I wake up to the feeling of my skin being so tight it will tear...probably due to swelling. I immediately put my cg and binder on....and so goes the journey. I see improvement daily.
Thank you!! Okay, I started back itching like crazy a few weeks ago. Dr. Boutte said all a part of the healing, but it came out of nowhere! What do you use on your stomach? I use olive oil and coconut oil. And that tight feeling, it happens to me every night. I guess when we're still in our sleep and the skin stiffens.
I have been using Benadryl Gel. I try to put a light coat of Bio Oil on first. I might have to try olive oil or coconut oil to see how that does. I still have some slight discoloration.
Wow those measurements!!! I pray I have that outcome! Thanks for the detailed response, I want to be prepared and always compressed right at all times I'm getting so anxious as I count down the weeks lol
You will! Follow the doctor's orders and water, water, water!! In try tp get in a gallon a day...minimum 80 oz though. Water, low sodium diet, and proper compression will get you right! I'll be following you. Best thing I ever did for myself and Dr. Boutte is absolutely superb.
*I try to
How are you now? I just had mine done finally. And am kinda worried about how my body will heal..
I will be two weeks post Saturday. Do you have any tips and can you give me a little detail on the healing to your butt and swelling in your lower abdomen. Also I wanted advise on garments..
Hi hun. I am well. I had my 3 month post-op on this past Wednesday and all went well. I still swell if I'm not compressed. If I take my compression off, I try not to go too long. I weat a waist trainer during the day and my compression garment and ab board at night. I drink atleast 80oz - a gallon of water a day. When I eat I make sure I don't overeat to avoid expansion and bloating of my stomach. I'm also back in the gym 3-4 days a week. Over the weeks you should see significant improvement. Watch your sodium, drink lots of water, follow the Dr recommendations and you'll be fine.
How does your lower abdomen look? I wonder if I did not drain enough fluid of me.. It's not bad, but I am trying to find a better way to manage the bloating at the bottom.
I also am wondering how it went when you first started sitting..I will be a month in 10 days, I also will be starting work back on the 11th. So, I am curious, when did you start sitting, and how did it feel.. Was it pain or any form of discomfort? Did you still use something?
I am totally flat now. My first 2 weeks I had gained so much fluid at the bottom of my stomach and was HUGE. I had to be drained and the drainage filled up 4 cups with liquid.
I had a bblpillow which was comfortable. I would stand and stretch throughout the day. I did away with the pillow week 5 per the Drs advise.
Ok, I see.. :-) :-) :-) I'M FLAT IN MY STOMACH!!! Huge change from last week.. WOW!!
My swelling has gone down all around. I am shaping up nicely.. So do see what you are saying.. :-) :-) :-)
Thanks girl!
Awesome!

2 month post-op

I had my 2 month post op appt with Dr. Boutte on yester-evening. My waistline is still rocking at a 28!! I couldn't have done this alone without Dr. Boutte. My healing process is going quite well. I'm back in the gym and am now getting lymphatic massages bi-weekly. I was getting them 2 times a week. I wear my waistcincher over my compression garment during work hours but take the 2waistcincher off when I get home. I only sleep in my ab board and compression garment, to give my skin a chance to breath. I've had excessive itching on my stomach this past week. It's all a part of the healing. I also went out for the first time this past weekend and the attention was something else! Compliments from women and I had a trail of men following me. Lol. It had to be the booty by Boutte! I just may go for a round 2 in a few years. I love it!

*waistcincher *breathe
I bought one when u start wearing yours? I have the compression garment and waist binder on now, had my surgery yesterday, so sore. was told to hold off at least a week
Only your compression garment for the 1st few weeks so you can have even compression. Don't start with the ab board until the 1 month mark. And start with the waist cincher month 2 mark. Your body is going tp change so much over the next few weeks that waist cinching can actually hurt you by pressing your fibers that are trying to heal.
Nice! Your body is beautiful!
Thanks!!

I have a few questions...

I'm 7 weeks post op. Healing is going well. I'm back in the gym and am now wearing waist cinchers. I wear my waist cincher over my compression garment to protect my skin as my stomach and back areas are still a bit sensitive. I have a short torso and my cincher flips up in the back. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? The cincher is for a small torso also. Next question is, the area right above my vagina, along my bikini line is not compressed as much with the cincher. Is there anything I can do to make sure all areas are compressed with the same pressure?

I bought the waist cincher that was for people with long torsos so that it would cover my hips, vagina area, and all of my back.
Okay thanks
Same here, ended up buying the latex long which covers pubic area, and I'm short short, 5 feet. It fits just right.
If your cincher is flipping up in the back, it might be too small.
Where did you get yours? I got 2 from 1800cinchers. I'm 5'2" and nothing seems to fit. I will def go up a size.
Got my latex from 100 cinchers as well. The sports, which I have a picture of posted, used to fit just right. It was for a short torso and never used to bend at the bottom. When it got too loose, I upgraded to the latex.
Okay. I'll reorder today. Thanks
You're welcome.
I had a cincher that fit, but flipped up in the back because of my butt.
Ill try a longer one
