10 weeks post op
I'm ten weeks post op today! Each day I think a little less about my surgery. The girls are starting to look a little less angry on the underside and have settled nicely. Getting weird little twinges of pain/sensation them, hoping that means I'm getting feeling back in them!
I'm still sleeping in a sports bra to avoid the morning weirdness. They look fine but feel odd if I sleep without a bra. Hoping that subsides soon.
My tt incision is looking pretty good, I think. I've had several places where stitches have worked their way out, and have several more that feel like there is more that want out.
I was a size 12 before surgery, I've lost a few more pounds and have basically no swelling. I'm comfortably in an 8 now! If I overdo it my midsection feels like a very tight drum, and while it feels like it should be swollen, it isn't visibly much bigger. Weird, but thankful (so far) not to have the swelling everyone talks about. lol
Hope everyone is healing well and in high spirits = )

Just shy of 6 weeks post op
Here are a couple of new pics. Still have a scab on one of the girls that I SO want to pick at, but I'm being good. I started using merderma (sp?) yesterday, hopefully my scars will lighten up at least a little bit.
I found part of a stitch that is poking through..thinking about at least clipping it shorter so it doesn't bug me. Can't imagine that would hurt anything? It beats grabbing and pulling it lol
I went shopping today. It felt so good to not to be stuck looking for tops that are long enough to cover my belly. Now I get to look for tops to tastefully show of the new cleavage. = )

Update
Just a thought here...I see a lot of women reporting that they went out of the country to have their surgeries to save money. If I had chosen to do so too, it would have cost me a small fortune to follow up with a local ps. While they really were minor problems they are also common, and happened beyond the typical 2 week mark. I've had to make 14 trips back to my ps so far, but all visits for a year were included in his fees. (Thanks goodness!) I wonder how many ladies who do choose to travel for surgery end up with enormous medical bills due to complications once they're back home?
I went back to my ps Wednesday. After a 4 day break from making the trip to the office every other day day (did I mention it's 100 miles one way? lol) he only drained 120cc from the lower seroma, yay! He says knot in my upper abdomen is from the lipo and that it should get better pretty quickly. I don't have to go back for two weeks unless the lower seroma swells notably (fingers are crossed, it still looks good), and I'm released to do housework etc, as long as I don't over do it. I'm still in a compression garment, a necessary evil I guess. He says (and I agree) that my scars look phenomenal, and they look better every day. I'll post some pics later. I stink at taking selfies, but I'll try to get some decent shots. Again, in spite of complications, I would so do this all over again!

Provider Review
I highly recommend Dr. Lintner and his staff. Kind, compassionate, straightforward and friendly, and definitely good at what he does, I'm thrilled with my results.
