Yep, that swelling sticking around for so long was a surprise. I am three months out and still have unsuspecting swelling. It is getting better very slowly. So hang in there.

So I did my first follow up appt. and everything I coming along nicely. I got my stitches taken out. I also go my new garment cause the one I had was loose I guess I lost a few inches more. Yay! And I also did my first massage today. It was uncomfortable for me cause I'm still sore but the young lady was really gentle. I schdule couple session with her cause my body is tense and would really benefit from the massage. I figure next week I would start the treadmill slowly. As far as pic I'll post some when I'm exactly one month so I can see my progress this far. #still swollen

My incisions are small. Under my arm, by my pubic area, and by my sides. They are very tiny. As far as tips I don't have any bad pain I haven't taken the Percocet that was prescribed. Keep ur legs elevated and drinks it's of water. Make sure u have ur have pads and gauze for leakage. And make sure u walk around in the house.

My pain is a level 2. It's not bad. Like I'm cooking and walking. I feel a little pulling sometimes but it's tolerable. This is first surgery and I'm following my doctors orders. Lots of water, walking and elevating my legs. However I'm just peeing alot
