WORTH IT
Had two c-sections in less than 2 yrs 24 years ago. At my age it's now or never! I chose now! I'm tired of the pouch that wouldn't go away even after 4 days at the gym, karate, and a personal trainer! Was finally told I can't work it off. Pics below are 1 week postop, 2 weeks post op, 3 weeks! Happy!

Thank you sooooo much. Yes! I can hide it under a bikini. I actually purchased some bikini underwear as a trial run. They fit perfectly! I haven't worn a bikini anything in 25+ years!!!!

Hi when you bought the new underwear did you buy the same size you were in or did you buy a smaller size ? I still have about a 6 week wait but trying to buy as much as possible now

Hi. I'm now 4 months post Op but was only 1 month when I wrote the above entry. I still wear the same size underpants. The size of my buttocks hasn't changed-no work has been done there. However, my brief style underpants no longer have a tummy bulge. As for shirts, I can now buy a smaller size because of the new flatness and because I'm no longer have to camaflogue my stomach. I purchased smaller sizes jeans at 2 months post Op and that was a mistake because they are too big in the waist. I'd suggest not to buy too much until your doctor says most of your swelling is gone. If you do shop, buy cute drawstring pants. I have pictures below in a bikini bathing suit. I could of purchased a lower cut bottom that I could wear without embarrassment but for me that's tooooo age inappropriate. Just because I can doesn't mean I should!!! Lololol

Week 4 Postop Update

Hi Everyone, I'm quite pleased with my progress. I'm a bit tired of wearing the padding, the compression garment, and the binder but I have to do what I have to do! Dr. Celestin says I have more swelling that is going to go down expedentially as time goes by and by three months I'm going to be REAL happy! I'm soooo excited! I still feel numb in the midsection but I know that takes time too! That's all for now. Bye bye

I'm coming along nicely. My Dr says I'm above the curve and have just a little swelling on the sides. I haven't returned to the gym yet but I'm going to start NOW! I can't wait to see my transformation with exercise included!!!????????????
Thank you for sharing the pictures. How is the recovery going for you?
Yes it is:)
