My tt w mr is great, no complaints there. The problem is on the sides of my bottom. I honestly believe the Dr did liposuction down on the sides. After sx I had bruises there for about 3 months. Now right where the bruises were it is indented and the skin is wrinkled. That was NOT there before the surgery. I had liposuction of the hips and flanks. These are not much hips or my flanks. I am so upset. I went to see him about this. He offered to for me to do Smooth Shapes treatment at half off. I am frustrated because I think he messed up and of course won't admit it.

11 weeks of the new me.

I can honestly say that this has been a huge journey. I can't believe it was 11 weeks ago. I have made huge progress but I am ready for so much more. My biggest obstacle is that I can't really workout. I'm just not ready. I think another month to be able to work up a sweat. I can do some light hand weights and that's about all. But I'm ok with that. I have lost 11 pounds since my surgery and I want to drop another 7. I am still trying to stay away from salt. But sometimes I slip. If I overeat I'm miserable so I try not to do that either. I can not wait for a bathing suit!

I miss the gym too but my body isn't ready either so I had to just chill out. 11lbs is great! I am sure more will come off as well! You are going amazing!

You look great! I had the same surgeon as you and I also got the same rash from the binder!! I wore a thin Cami tank top under the binder and still used it. It was my security blanket for such a long time! I still want it sometimes and it's been almost 2 years! You will keep seeing food changes for up to a year post surgery. Some days you'll be in "swell hell" and the next day you'll feel amazing! It's such a roller coaster, but in the end it was totally worth it! Just wait until you get to wear a new bathing suit! That's was (and still is) my favorite part!!! Are you in the Tri-city area? Feel free to message me any time if you have any questions. Ive been kind of slacking the past year with checking in on this site, but I'm thinking of updating my review now that I'm almost to the 2 year post surgery mark.
