I love my new tummy but still very tight, some bruising. Still swelling in the pubic area, edema swelling. Which I was told that will take some time to go away. However my doc said I look great and I can go back to the gym I've lose 26pds and counting. I want to lose 12 or 14 more. I eat very little with this surgery has changed me. Although I wasn't a big eater but I eat very little.

My word. After just 6 weeks of healing you really do look like a new you. Fantastic.
You're still early days considering you've had major surgery and not only do you look tremendous but it sounds like you're feeling pretty good. I'm sure any residual swelling and bruising with disappear in another few weeks.
You maybe underestimate the efforts you've made to ensure the procedure was successful and your recovery good: your preparation in terms of medication. cleanliness, diet and being positive. You should give yourself the credit you deserve.
How are your scars healing? Hopefully well.
I'm not sure where you'll lose more weight from as it doesn't look like you carry any excess.
I wish you well on your continuing successful recovery.

You do look fantastic. At 6.5 weeks I will be leaving for Jamaica on family vacation. Any advice on how I will be feeling? I'm 12 days post op. At this point I haven't even ventured out yet but when people are saying they are still healing at 6 weeks, I'm wondering exactly what they mean by that.

Hello KM18395, thank you. I still have some swelling in the pubic area. I was told that will take awhile to see the swelling go completely down. I was also so told to be careful of my salt in take, not good for the swelling. And at times my muscles in the tummy area really tighten if I don't do my exercises. But other than that I'm ok my waist is getting smaller. Still getting compliments. So I can't complain. My next appt. is the 2nd week of January. Blessings to you.

Yes salt intake is very important. It will take time for all the swelling to go away. Just be patient and enjoy every minute. You are so blessed. You look so great

Hi thanks a bunch for the encouragement. I do eat very little and cut back on the in take. I eat a lot of spinach salads and fruit. Cant wait for the puffiness go away for good. Before summer I would like to have lipo on my thighs to remove cellulite. So I want to know I'm good before that happens. Although my doctor says its all normal. Isn't it funny how we as women are never really satisfied. We are living in a society that makes us fight age every step of the way. Women want to look better. Thank you so much and blessings to you.

Still Swollen in the Pubic area due to the drainless TT

Went to my PS was told my swelling in the Pubic will go down with time. Its really puffy. Is anyone else having this issues????? But my tummy is so flat. The incision area looks great. I rec'd a spanx to wear and in between washing my garment binding to wear the spanx. Which I really don't like because it has several hooks on each side and on top of that it zip. Makes it kinda hard when your rushing to use it. Will check out Ann Chery garments online. I go back to my PS on 11/1/16. My tummy is still very tight still not standing completely straight. But its getting there. I've lose 17pds, only eating one meal a day. I crave spinach salads.

How are you feeling now? Updated pics?

Mine was swollen just a little bit. My Dr didn't put my drains there. They were on the side so that may be a reason why it didn't get so swollen. But it does go down.

Finally had a bowel movement thanks be to God. I'm getting stronger. I didn't take any pain meds yesterday. Only due to wanting my bowel to move. But I slept well. Although I do have a little slight pain, Still walking bend over but not so bad. My back is still hurting. But I've been walking around the house. Oh and it hurts so bad to sneeze. My follow up is on Monday. I still can't believe its done. Now I want my thighs thinner. So that's the next thing, as soon as the doctor give me an estimate on that I'll be ready. Next summer I will be so ready for the beach. More pics next week. I've inspired 2 of my sisters, cousin and best friend, and my daughter(smart lipo on her thighs). Although my daughter has a 22 inch waist and had her Breast done she wants a little smart lipo . They all have appts. set. I wish I had done this long ago. But today surgery is a lot better, less scarring and less downtime. Although I'm still healing each day it only gets better. I thank God for seeing me through it all. To every one put your faith in God and go for it. Find you a really good doctor take the time to do the research. As women its important to look your best as we live in a society that has a lot of pressure to look good its like in our face daily(clothes are fitted, dresses are shorter, jeans are low cut, and belly buttons are out). Although this country is not suppose to discriminate on age,(or how pretty your are, face wise or body), they do when it comes to working in corporate America. And age is but a number. Besides the new 50 is the new 30 today. lol However its important to look great. So ladies do you.
