My Journey Continues! - New York, NY

Hi everyone, Sorry I haven't updated in a while, My recovery has been not the greatest especially the fact that i'm still not flat. My ps said it's swelling but I don't know I do see a couple of fat pockets that shouldve been lipoed. I'm feeling almost back to normal. There's still numbness in certain parts of my belly espcially right under my bb above my incision. I've been feeling down and out so i didn't really take pictures but I decided since it's my one year po of my Lipo I should update and take pics. My main concern is that I have this dent on my right side that doesn't seem to get better. Then on my left side I still have the scar that the binder did. I never had stretchmarks or anything on my stomach and now I have two marks one on each side. I'm afraid that my muscle repair has been damaged and that's why I'm not flat. If this happens all of my biggest fears before having the tt have come true first the blood clots and now this. Sorry for being such a downer but we should write the bad along with the good too. I have expressed my concerns to my ps and he said lets wait till my 6 months po because it could just be swelling he did however say he was concern with the dent and he'll recheck it in my next po. Keeping my fingers crossed that this is all just swelling. I have posted some pics from pre op to 6 months Lipo po and then the recent ones 4 1/2 tt po and 1 yr Lipo po.
Hope you ladies are doing well!

Hi ladies, I'm now almost 7wks po. I can truly say time has flown by. The first couple of days were the worst. It does get better in time ladies just be patient. I'm finally standing straight although sometimes at night if I did too much during the day I hunch a lil. I started standing straight about 4 to 5th week. My scar is healing nicely and so is my bb. I was finally cleared on my 6wk po to stop wearing the cg and binder but I still wear the cg especially at night it helps keep the swelling down. Binder I also wear from time to time but only when I'm really feeling swollen. I'm sleeping on my side and driving. My muscle repair is still very sore. some days more than others just wondering when will it stop. I haven't taken any pics I'm kind of a little dissapointed in that. I really wanted to document my recovery step by step but I slacked off. So ladies I hope everyone is healing and doing well!

Hi ladies, so today I'm 4weeks po. I must say time did go by fast with the exception of the first week. I had my seroma drained one more time and now it gone. I'm still not standing straight and that worries me a lil I feel a tight stretchy feeling between the bottom of my breasts. I'm still sleeping in the couch. my ps doesn't want me sleeping on my side as of yet so I'm staying on the couch and recliner for another two weeks. My incision is not completely closed. There's this little spot right in the middle that looks a little open. Of course that would happen to me. I wonder what else. I officially hate my binder, they have me wearing a cg and the binder on top. I haven't taken any pics other than the ones at the ps office. Will try today. Hope everyone is healing well!!!
