Two month update

I had a two-month follow-up with Dr. Nemeth on 1/14/21 and she gave me the green light to stop wearing compression garments. HALLELUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! The second stage garment was TIGHT and really bothersome at night. Anyway, changes over the last month have been more subtle but I am still shrinking (at least around the waist), slowly but surely. My measurements are as follows:

New Measurements (again taken in pictured undergarments):
Waist (low-navel-narrow): 39-34-31.75
Hips (widest area): 43
Underbust (not expanded/expanded): 33.5/36
Full Bust (not expanded/expanded): 41/44
Overbust (not expanded/expanded): 38/41
Overbust including upper arms/shoulders: 52
Upper thigh (thickest area): 25
Upper arm (thickest area): 14.5
Weight: 208.5

Old Measurements for comparison:
Waist (low-navel-narrow): 39-34.5-32.5
Hips (widest area): 43
Underbust (not expanded/expanded): 33.5/36
Full Bust (not expanded/expanded): 41/44
Overbust (not expanded/expanded): 38/41
Overbust including upper arms/shoulders: 52
Upper thigh (thickest area): 25
Upper arm (thickest area): 14.5
Weight: 207.5

I am really happy with the way my waist and inner thighs are looking. My upper arms and axial area are showing less dramatic improvement than I was hoping for, but there was far less compression there than around my torso and legs, so I am hoping that those areas will improve further as time goes on. I plan to try to lose an additional 10-15 pounds before my next appointment in May, which should also help. I took another set of photos in the same clothes as my before pics, which I think shows quite a dramatic improvement in overall contours under clothing!

Four weeks out and feeling great!

I am four weeks out from surgery and feeling terrific! I saw Dr. Nemeth a few days ago and she was very pleased with my results and progress. She said I could stop wearing the strap around my chin (THANK GOD - this was my least favorite part of the entire experience) but that I should move into a second-stage garment for the rest of my body and wear it for another 4-5 weeks, until my next appointment. I was REALLY looking forward to sleeping without compression but I'll live ;). I took photos and measurements today and I really can't believe how great things are already looking and feeling. My thigh chub rub is virtually gone and the bra and belly overhang is vastly improved. Dr. Nemeth said there is still a lot of swelling to go down so I think I am going to be over the moon when it's all said and done!!!!

Procedure done!

I survived the procedure and everything seems to have gone well! I'm very bruised and sore, though not as much so as I was anticipating. My chin actually doesn't hurt at all, although the head wrap I am wearing is incredibly annoying. Arms and legs aren't too painful either - back/torso is definitely the worst. I took percocet for the first 24 hours afterwards but I don't think I will need it today. Going in tomorrow for my first post-op!
