Gosh can't believe it's been 11 months post op and not happy
WORTH IT$6,600
Can't believe next month will be one year..yes I'm happy the apron of extra skin is gone but unhappy that I still look fat!!!! Hate how my hips look and the bulge I have above my belly button :(....
I have been maintaining my weight at around 165 - 169 by way of light excersing and diet ( down to size 10) but hate the muffin top look,ugh!
I go next Friday for a consult with Dr Carp to see what can be done

6 months post-op and not sure....
First off YES I'm thrilled I got the apron cut off but I'm not liking the bloated look that I have.
I still have to wear shape wear just to have the flat look illusion :(
My scar looks a a little dark in color.
I have been trying to exercise three days a week and watch what I eat but yet have managed to gain 2 - 3 lbs since my surgery which was in Oct?
On a good note I do fit better in size 10-12 pants and can actually wear some shirts in Med but mostly Large.
I'm still fat right, I truly don't believe it's still swelling at 6 months or can it be????

Thanks! I'm still happy with losing my apron through tummy tuck just wish I didn't have a muffin top I look bloated all the time. I have maintained my weight at 168lbs same as day of sx. But I am wearing smaller sizes :)
You look like you are coming along great too! Happy healing.

5 month post op and feeling FAT and not liking my profile!!!!
GRRRR!!! I really hope this is all swelling and not me being FAT!!! I manage to go to local Y three to four days a weeks doing 45 mins to 1 hr of cardio and weight training, been watching what I eat but the scales aren't moving :(
The new pics I'm sharing shows what I look like while even wearing shape wear ...FAT and then the there's pics where I'm sucking in my tummy and wishes that I would look that I want to have a FLAT AB!!!
on a good note I do like my chin lipo profile though

Have you been wearing a cg? If it is swelling the cg should help. All women are different in how they heal. It looks like swelling to me. Try wearing a cg at night, and when you wake up take your measurements and see where you're at. Then keep the cg on all day and see how much you swell by night. Also talk to your PS about it. If it is fat then your PS should be able to liposuction it out :)

I do wear cg during the day except when going to the Y to work out....I don't wear it when I sleep either.
I'm glad you think it's swelling...just wish I didn't have to suck in my tummy to look flat like I want it too, grrr!

Another thing to consider is, how did you look the 1st or 2nd day post op before all the swelling started. If you like what you saw in the beginning then it will return to that.

AT my 4 month post op he said it was swelling but if after 1 yr he could do lipo????? He said swelling can last up to 1 yr...am I really going to be that person who has swelling up to 1 yr.....just feeling down when seeing others looking so great and flat at their 3 to 4 month post op pics

So he did say he could correct his mistakes with lipo?? That is, if it truly is fat! :) but I would say by the 7th month he should be able to have you scheduled for lipo if it's needed.
