Today is three weeks since surgery. Doing great feel basically back to my normal self. I still can't lay on my stomach. It doesn't hurt but it feels weird. Like my skin on my belly is too tight for it. I am waiting on my breasts to settle. They still ride high and are just now starting to soften up some. I am loving my results. So happy that I decided to go with Dr. Kreul.

You look great! I'm hoping my results will be just as good as yours! I swallowed water down the wrong pipe and had a cough attack! Literally the worst pain I have ever felt!

I threw up my second day twice!! From the pain medication. Omg I thought I was going to die. Haha it was the craziest feeling ever. Like it was on fire. I held a pillow on my belly to try and help it but there was no helping it. I stopped all pain meds right then and there.

Hey there New2Me1! Just read your review. I'm sixteen days post op and just looking for some other healing stories. I'm so curious as to what I can expect in the future. I can't wait to get rid of some of this swelling and tightness. I know my PS said he is quite aggressive when it cubes to tightening the muscles and skin. So I don't know if my swelling is the usual amount or if it's more because of that. Hope your healing is going well!! You look fabulous!

I didn't really experience much swelling at all. I was shocked. But good god I was tight. This week will be six weeks on Thursday. Just this week I have able to handle laying on my belly for more than about five seconds. It wasn't my implants that hurt at all it was that my stomach skin was pulled so tight that I felt like I couldn't lay on my stomach.

Two weeks post op

5/5/16 was two weeks post op. I had an appointment to get my sutures out. He said everything looks great. I got the clear to get rid of the horrible surgical bra and wear bras without underwires. I still have to wear the compression band at night since the implants are riding high still. My belly is still a little numb around the belly button. I can get rid of the abdominal binder but I have to wear spanx of some kind through out the day while I am active to keep the swelling down. I have been feeling good. I'm going to start back at the gym on Monday and do cardio... No weights for another four weeks. I have another follow up June 2nd!

You're looking so good! I can't believe you are able to start cardio already. That's amazing. Are you standing pretty straight?

Oh yeah totally straight now. It was only about the first five days that I was a little hunched over. The first couple days you are walking like bent in half haha.

That is what he said. He said that it worries him though that I'm going to be doing too much. But I really feel fine. I'm still sore but it doesn't hinder me from doing my every day normal stuff.
