its been a while..im frustrated
WORTH IT$6,914
i ve been off realself for a while trying to figure things out. I am having no luck whatsoever getting my tummy flat. I have a pouch and the lower abdomen is not flattening out at all. I have used the boards, bought tons of CG and its not working. All my garments are unconfortable as they bunch in the back and digs into my waistline. I dont know what else to do. My waist is a 29, lots of swelling everyday..

all is going well, I will be starting scar treatment soon.
I still get swollen but its tolerable. I just wish i had did this sooner. I am loving my result. Cant wait to do with a garment but i think i will always need one for a lil while. I wish i could find one that doesnt cut into my groin area. These garments are definitely not for curvy girls or girls with assessts.. I am having trouble finding comfortable ones i can wear all day with the support i need for compression.. Any suggestions anyone..
here are a few updated pics of my now... the best part is my wounds are completely healed... yeahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GORGEOUS and SEXY lady. Everything looks like it's healed up nicely. I hear ya on being curvy and finding something that doesn't hurt to wear. I wish I knew. I wear Spanx stuff cause it's the most comfy to me. Keep up the awesome progress, you are doing GREAT! :-DSuzy

Just bought my first Spanx and they are really comfortable. Got them at DSW for $22.

does the spanx gives enough compression for the lower abdominal area? if so which one do you have that gives that kind of support
June 2, 2014
High waist undies. They have a leg that is just right for dresses and it does have good support. For after 5 weeks po.

You look good! I'm 17 weeks post op...I posted a compression garment its works great doesn't rise it has elastic on the lace...it's a med and I also wear the board I bought it from the santa fa mall off Pleasant Hill Road was recommended by dr. D nurse

Thanks kee2014. your looking great?. can u post pic of the board u have? i bought one but i don't think it's doing anything for me.. i bought it from lipo express . i feel like i am not getting enough compression anymore. what size garment are you in now?
June 3, 2014
Thanks triana876. your looking good as well. I posted the board I bought 2....I ordered one from amazon before I found the place off Pleasant Hill rd...my compression garment sizes now is a smalls from leonisa its in the mall of ga the garment on the pic is from the store off Pleasant Hill Road is a middle, but it has 3 rows hook I'm at the 2nd hooks with the board...its really had getting them over my hips.

thanks, Is the board flexible where u can wear daily under ur clothes? ive gotta go to that mall n see what they have there. i'm wearing medium. i bought small that give good compression but the legs r so tight. the medium is ok but i need to flatten lower abs. i have a board but it cant be worn out on the street. it looks really awkward in ur clothes. its not flexible at all..

You look so good. Your journey was remarkable and you stayed positive the whole time. Really enjoyed reading your blog and hope your results continue to surpass your expectations.

Positive attitude goes along way with this journey because it can get to be very daunting and frustrating experience sometimes. You need positive people around the entire time. we go through a mountain of emotions with doing any surgery... So far my results are great and I love it.. Thanks for the compliment..

Wow! Let me say you look awesome in that blue jumpsuit! Ur wound is healing nicely and ur tummy is taking shape. I had wound issues too and its taken some time and a revision but im overcoming it. Urs is tiny compared to what i had so u will probably have a lot less recovery time than me! Happy healing!

thank you so much for the comprehensive blog, reading it and viewing the pics has given me hope! you look confident and happy and that's more important than anything else in my book.

A few pics from 4/26/14
a few recent pics of my wounds and how i am healing, still please with the job my PS has done,however i am no where close to being completely healed as stomach muscles still sore from muscle repair.. Cant wait to wear my compression garment after my wounds heal, its a bit bothersome to wrestle with it twice a day when u have to do dressing change, so i wear some cheaper and easier version of compression to slip in and out of...
have a great sunday ladies

Beautiful lady. Sending healing vibes your way to finish you up. You are gonna rock even more once the wound care is over and you can get back into your routine. Take care, :-DSuzy

thanks Suzy, hope your doing okay lady.. I missed being on here, been gone for a lil bit. Glad to announce I am totally healed no more wounds..yayyy.. how r u doing hon? hope ur hanging in there... things takes time and you will get through them one day at a time
May 10, 2014
Glad you are healing but I must admit this makes me so scared. We just never know how our skin/body react to this surgery. I read that eating sweet potatoes daily will speed wound recover.. Also loads of vitamin C.. Stay blessed ! By the way I'm loving your waist line :)
May 19, 2014
Thank you , Yeah you have to know your body and accept the pros and cons. Being realistic is the best thing in a case like this, going through things this drastic and momentum...I am totally healed now thank god...
