WORTH IT$8,500
6 weeks post op & STILL very, very swollen. Pain has come back a bit (probably from moving). It's hard to stand without pain and I need to wear constant compression or else I swell up and look pregnant!
Gone back to sleeping on my back with my knees bent, to see if that helps with the pain. Really hope the swelling stops soon- I want to go on holiday (at 12 weeks) and it'd really be awful to need to have to wear my full body compression!

A week and a day post op!
The first few days were pretty sore- but by day five I was able to get out of my bed without any assistance. By day seven I was able to go down and up the stairs.
Standing up nearly straight, and the pain has pretty much gone. Just a little sore.
The whole bottom of my stomach is numb- and I think that is the worst part right now. Showering makes me panic because i can't feel the water.
The swelling is pretty bad, especially on my right side. It goes pretty straight, but then goes in and balloons around my hips! My left looks and feels pretty nice, albeit a bit swollen.
Going for a post-op visit tomorrow, hoping its all good news!

You're looking great! It's nice to see another young person here. I'm still looking for the right surgeon so despite losing all this weight (and having been fat my whole life), most days I don't feel all that much better than I used to.
I hope this surgery has the positive change that you hoped for! Best of luck with your recovery.

Night before the surgery. Still nervous, but I keep reminding myself by this time tomorrow everything will be fine.
Everything has been going pretty well so far! I'm grateful for everyone here because I knew a lot more what to expect!
