I wear my garment everyday unless I'm going swimming or wearing a top the shows belly (not doing much of that just yet) but I feel great been working out at the gym and running again. Skin is getting tight. Still can tell its fully not healed. But for the most part it looks great.

hi! You look great! I did vaser 16 days ago! Some days my stomach looks kinda big and others very flat! Makes me worry! Did this happen to you! Day one it was mega flat and now it looks kinda flat! I just got the drain out 2 days ago! I'm still draining! I'm ready to get on with life!

Yes I also have days when I'm bigger then other days. I notice during my period in bigger for sure. And if I eat to much carbs I swell up. I've been eating better and working out so my results are great.

What's the brand of the compression garment you have over the one the Dr gave you?
June 18, 2015
waist trainer They are all over social media order one they are great.
January 3, 2016
So you are wearing the garment the Doctor gave you as well as a waist trainer? Is it really reallg tight?
January 15, 2016
Yes I was wearing both and no if you get the right size It was not super tight. The Doctor garment was like tights and the waist trainer holding everything. Great for back support too.

Are you able to pick your son up? I have a 2 year old and I am planning my surgery soon.

I'm having surgery this Thursday and I have a one and a half year old and I'm more nervous about not being able to carry him :( the doc told me two weeks
April 25, 2015
I don't pick my two year old much as it is. He is a very active boy so I make him walk everywhere. He is also potty trained so I don't lift him that much but I will say Give yourself 3 days of no lifting then you can do minor lifting. Like into the car, stroller, shopping cart…. Holding on your hips will hurt you since your sore so I wouldn't.

Day after

MariSmith
Today I feel sore. Almost like I was used as a bunching bag. If I sit to long to get up it hurts because I'm stiff. or getting out the car i'm slow. But I've been very active today. I took my kids to school, went to Target and Sears walked around and shopped a bit. I then came home put a ton of laundry away and did a little spring cleaning of my clothes. I feel great and love my results so far. I am swollen but I can tell I will be truly happy with my final results.

How did you make out last night?
April 22, 2015
During the night I was in little pain. I was tired but only woke up once to use the bathroom.

Thanks, your reply helped me get through the night. Day 2 and very swollen.
April 24, 2015
What meds are you taking? I've been taking Arnica montana and bromelain. I got them at GNC they helped with bruising and swollen.
April 23, 2015
You look great. Congratulations!

No bruising yet. Feel so swollen. Not on any pain meds today. Thanks for the suggestion I will look into that.
