A little better. Still no picnic
sherrieroseDecember 29, 2014
Im 10 weeks(2 1/2 months) post op. I still get tight under my skin and it makes it hard to move after I am still for a while. It doesn't hurt as much on my abdomen and sides, thank goodness, but still hurts. Just not terribly as ur was before. I still have to rub myself down with lotion and massage myself to feel better when I get real stiff. I can tell I'm healing. My sides are not as sensitive anymore. I'm a pro now at taking my garmet on and off. I still wear surgical pads underneath a small sleeveless shirt, so that my garmet will not be so hard on my skin and rub another raw spot, like before. My garmet goes over that shirt. First the pads on my sides. Then a sleeveless shirt to serve as a barrier between my skin and garmet. My garmet goes on next. I also wear two pads in the front where it fastness. A regular shirt gies over this or whatever I'm wearing. Still swollen. Tender on back and abdomen c section roll still because if swelling. Feels worse on back. I asked the doctors about this on real self. I posted pictures. I still wear my binder, probably about half the time. Clothes do not fit well with that and everything else I have on, but if I start to hurt much, I will wear it and it seems to help some. I sleep on my sides and sometimes I am a good girl and turn all the way on my stomach, but not completely flat as before. I'm still scared about putting too much weight on my butt. I sit on a dog cushion because it's soft. I sometimes find myself in situations when I have no cushion. I sit anyway sometimes and no one knows that I'm hoping it's not messing my butt up. It has gone down a lot but I'm very satisfied. So much better than before. I realize there isn't much projection and there is a dent on one side. Actually at this point, one side is bigger than the other. I still like the big side better of course. I don't think it's real noticeable. I hope it stays like it is and I will be happy. Just don't want it to shrink. My mind doesn't even think revision after the expense and because of what I have gone through. Not unless something happens worse than this. I will never have a butt that turns heads. Mine is more subtle, which is okay too. I would have liked to turn heads but Im just so glad that it looks like I'm slowly getting better, I have no more fat rolls, I have hips, and I feel out my pants better.

You are only 2.5 months, you will not see true results until about 6 months. You haven't fluffed yet. Wear your garment,and binders daily for max results. It gets better.

False alarm about the breakthrough that I thought I was having with my healing process. My back has been swollen since the beginning. It swelled bigger through the day and my c section roll that has collected fluid, has gotten tender. Both of these areas are bothering me a lot. Mostly my back. It hurts when I lean back.i have tried everything I can think of to make the selling i these areas go down. Nothing works. I rub myself every day. I've tried a basketball and rolling pin. Also, the tightness on back, sides, and abdomen still causes a lot of discomfort and pain. Wow. I was hoping I would be better. There's so much I still don't feel well enough to do and it all involves my family. Oh yeah, my butt is shrinking. No volume in one cheek at all. I hope this will get better soon. My daughter will be having a baby soon and I have four small grandsons already. You can imagine how I want to get better.

Are u taking a good vitamin b complex if not u need it. Now foods make a good b complex and this should relieve the swellen if its due to water retention
December 8, 2014
I'm taking a multi vitamin. if had a lot on it. Should I narrow it down by buying just a bottle of B vitamins? Maybe I would getter like that.
December 8, 2014
Sorry about the errors. I will go get some B vitamins. Thank you for telling me about this.

December 8, 2014
If its water retention get Now foods b-50 take it morning and evening. check your multi vitamin does it have b6 in it??? If it does is it 50 mg most likely not. Your body need b vitamins if it keeps swelling up with water and holding on to it
December 8, 2014
I will go tomorrow and find some B vitamins like that. No one has suggested this before. I hope this will help me. I'm in pain right now and the swelling is terrible. Thank you so much.

December 8, 2014
Make sure its the B complex and that it has 50mg of vitamin b1, and 50mg of b2, and 50mg of b6 in it. the b6 is what relieve the water retention but it works better when taking with all the other b vitamins then if taking by itself.... also if by 72 hours the swelling is not going away then get a bottle of now food b6 50mg by itself... take the b complex one tablet and b6 one tablet morning and evening that way you will be getting 100 mg of b6 twice a day...

December 8, 2014
P.s make sure u take the b complex one tablet and the b6 one tablet at the same time together morning and also evening
December 8, 2014
Okay. Thank you for explaining. You are a big help and I appreciate you. Ill go buy this as soon as I can. Take care. Your help means a lot.

December 8, 2014
Make sure u keep taking your multi vitamin... and once again to make sure that im not confusing u if the swelling does not go away within 72 hours that mean u need more b6 so follow instructions below to double the amount of vitamin b6 from 50mg to 100mg. The vitamin complex has naicin in it if u take over 100mg of naicin it can cause a naicin flush which is hot flashing which make some uncomfortable the b complex has 50 mg of naicin so thats why i say take it only twice a day and then up the dose by getting b6 tablets by itself to increase the b6 even more without increasing the naicin. i hope that im not confusing u.

Maybe a therapeutic wrap and sitting in the sauna can pull some of the swelling out. Check with a spa in your area and see if they have anything like that. Hope it gets better soon!
