I've been constantly swollen like this for about 6-7 weeks now. I don't understand. Wearing 24/7 compression with binder.

It was so good!
Went for lunch and had some salty seafood after my massage yesterday. I paid for it but it was so good. The top part of my abdomen still hurts a lot. I can feel a knot that's been there since after surgery. After the seafood I swelled and it made the pain worse. Ughhh it was so good.

Thanks I'm trying. I can see the difference between the two pics. 2 weeks difference and I can see the swelling is coming down. I might not feel like it but looking at those two pics I can see a shape coming in....lol

A lymphatic massage at my PS office. My package included 5 of them. My last one was at my 6 week appt. I know the feeling. I have now started to swell bad again and my stomach is really bothering me to the point I have started taking pain medication again. I hope nothing is wrong and this goes away. I also hope you start to feel better.

swelling never stopped here.. but my muscles are hurting again too.. guess because now I feel "better" and think I can do all thing I used to do before without feeling any pain... wroooong! I really was thinking about taking pain medication but I did not... they hurt in the night the most. Perhaps its too early for your massage? remember the whole skin was pulled up... I dont think the massage in that area is of benefit while everything is healing. hope gets better soon....

The massages are what my PS recommends. Helps with swelling. It did help and made the pain feel better. I'll post a pic. My pain never went away but it has gotten worse, more like beginning of healing process. I am still stuck doing nothing. I wish I could do something. I tried to walk but it felt terrible.

Finally
Some glue finally came off. I had my son cut it, so it wouldn't get pulled. I finally get to see some of my incision. Progress!

You are healing so nicely. You already had a nice shape to start with so once the swelling goes away, you're gonna look hot!
