Hello all. I hope you all are doing great & having speedy recoveries. Anyway, I've been cheating a little to much so I'm a little swollen so I still wear board which helps a lot. I have eased off sleeping in anything though the last few days. It feels so weird being unrestricted. Lol. The darkness to my stomach is slowly improving. I decided to try on an old swimsuit. I love my results minus the occassional swelling and numerous stretch marks but those will get better with time (cocoa butter & some skin bleaching cream are helping a bunch). I can't complain considering how flat my stomach is and that I absolutely refused to have tummy tuck. It just feels good to not have extra row hanging over underwear.

Sorry I've been m.i.a.. I'm still loving my results though. I still get swelling to lower sides & pubic area at times so I'm still doing massages. My pockets are not happy but I think I will be great after just 1 or 2 more sessions. I'm still stuck at 8 lbs weightloss which is ok but I want to get another 7 off. I was 185 the day of surgery & 177 seem to want to be my magic number. I lost a total of 5 inches above navel, 7 at navel, & 7 below the navel. I think Dr Boutte gave me more hips too. I love my results.

Your results are awesome! I just had a consultation and the doctor says my stretched out stomach will look
Worse after having smart lipo but you look just like me and your results are awesome! Is it worth it?

I definitely say it is. I do have more stretch marks than I had but I don't have saggy skin so I'm ok with it. I didn't want tummy tuck scar or increased risk of infection even though my doc tried to talk me into it.

Nice! Im happy to hear that you went through a similar situation. Did the surgeon say your stomach will sag worse?

She said it possibly could but that she thought I had good elasticity. I didn't even get jp drains. I did have to get drained once in the office though (worst thing ever). I just think everyone is different. I know people who have saggy skin but not as many stretch marks. I guess it just depends on how your stomach handles the trauma

I'm good. I still have a small lump on left side that is sore sometimes so I'm still getting massages but overall I'm great. Hope all is well your way

Yeah, everything is fine here! Wondering when the stingy pain in my flanks will go away!

Hey ladies. Sorry that I been m.i.a. Been trying to heal up, work, & play supermom. Dark areas finally peeled off of stomach so now I'm cocoa buttering the heck out of discolorations. My stomach is still flat and just a little swollen but sides are still extremely swollen. I keep getting indentations on sides so i decided to do a few more massages. I'm finally down to smaller fajas but haven't lost any more weight. I'm sick of ab board & fajas but they have definitely done their jobs. My 1 month checkup isn't until next week but I will keep you all posted on results. Hugs & wishing you all a speedy recovery.

You look great thanks for sharing your story! Do you have on a garment on this photo? How many lbs total have you lost since surgery? I hope my stomach looks this good! I am worried about the darkness I think I will start the coco butter as well.

Thanks hun. I lost 9 lbs & have been stuck there but my diet has fallen off a bit too. At 1 1/2 weeks i had already lost 6 inches though. I'm not wearing a garment in pics. I still wear it 24/7 though but wanted to see how I look without it. I am still wearing abdominal board because it helps with lumpy areas. I'm going to try and wear it to 3 months even though alot of people stop wearing it sooner. I love my results and don't want to mess them up. I notice that when I have too much sodium I swell and it helps get me back right. I had blood pool to one area of my stomach which left me with a horrible dark scabby area but cocoa butter saved me and my stomach 100% much better minus few stretch marks. I still have a lil darkness in general though but it is almost gone. Some people come out of surgery and bruising goes away quickly and then there is us who take time. You will get there hun.

What is the abdominal board? They did not tell me about this? Where did you find?
