Don't look if you're squeamish. The dr gave me a picture of the skin that he cut off of me and the lipo tube, which is 2000 cc's. You can see how big those skin flaps are next to her foot. CRAZY!

No more spanx and updated pics

Post op today, I've been released from the evil spanx! Hooray! And he took my first set of afters. I'll get them again at 6 months and again at one year. I'm still a little swollen, but I'm thrilled with the difference.

So I've got some kind of stupid rash
Mamabelly83September 7, 2015
Everything has been going great so far, I can even sleep on my stomach now, yay! I had some peeling and mild itching along the incision, nothing too terrible. But the other day I went to a bridal shower, and we were sitting outside on the restaurant's patio. I had on scar away silicon strips, spanx, and a dress. It was friggin hot, like 87 degrees. I was feeling very sweaty and uncomfortably warm, and almost felt on the verge of passing out, so I left. The next day, I noticed that I was super itchy along my incision, and now I have a small bumpy rash in the creases of my groin, and then along the incision right above those creases. No rash anywhere else along the incision except those two spots. I'd guess it was heat rash, except it doesn't look like heat rash, and is definitely itchy, not prickly. I also wondered if it was a reaction to the silicon strips, but wouldn't it be down the whole length? And I've been wearing them about two weeks now without any rash, so I'm just not sure. But it sucks, and I really wish it would go away!

I am sorry to hear about the rash. Let us know what it turns out to be and what you did to treat it.
I was thinking about your issue with the seams of your Spanx and I wondered if you have tried wearing them inside out? I'm doing that with my Spanx tank tops because the seams irritate me.

Dr did confirm that it was heat rash. He said I could put a hydrocortisone cream on it. Now that I don't have to wear the spanx anymore, he thought it would clear up quickly.
