37 Years Old and Finally Rid of That Pesky Stomach Pooch - Montclair, NJ

It's only been 2 days since the procedure but I'm feeling very good about my decision to go with Dr. Bond and my results. I have some lower swelling (I didn't leak any after the procedure) but I think I look good and I'm feeling good. (I haven't had to take pain medication since 2am this morning and it's been only 48 hours since the procedure. Yes, I was in fairly good shape prior to the procedure so maybe that helps.) I got my lower abs done and I wasn't very overweight…. but even with a smaller procedure, given some of the possible side effects and less than optimal results I've seen on this site, I'm VERY pleased and feel very fortunate. My stomach is firm but I have no lumps or bumps and it's even… win win! I lightly (and I mean lightly) massaged it today just because I wanted to and I'm wearing 2-3 compression garments at a time (various girdles, nothing fancy or expensive). I'm looking forward to my stomach continuing to get better. Sorry, I don't have my before pics. Did it hurt? 70% was painless… you only felt pressure or tugging. The area around my navel was a little stubborn and sensitive so I needed more numbing there (hence the 30%) but otherwise considering it all, it wasn't terribly painful.

I'm late in posting this. On day 5 I decided to try on my bikini bottom. I had a little soreness but not that much. I'm starting to swell a little… it's to be expected based on all I've read and been told. All is still well with me.
