Loose Skin - 11 Weeks Post Procedure

I am finally seeing the results, but unhappy with the lose skin. I think I may need a second procedure since I have 3 waves on my stomach from the 3 procedures done. I'm thinking this is worth it after looking at my before pictures, but still, it's a harsh reality to see the skin at this point. Yuck. So I've uploaded my beginning photo, one 2 days after the procedure, one several more days later, then just last week and today. My stomach swelled tremendously which you can see in the second and third photos. I'm happy that I did it, just not quite sure I like the "naked" results.

7th Week - Seeing Results

I'm almost at 7 weeks since my procedure. I'm definitely seeing a reduction in fat and feel so much better about my pouch. The downside is the loose skin. I'm hopeful that exercise will help this and even if it doesn't, it's so worth the results. I haven't had a lot time to really work out for the past 7 weeks, so I'm fairly certain if I get back on track that will get me to where I need to be. I still have a slight tingling sensation, but other than that, I'm back to normal. Still doing weight watchers and have lost more weight. Over the next 5 weeks I am told I will see the full results. I can't wait!

Day 15 - Almost Pain Free

Two weeks ago I had my procedure. I am still experiencing some burning pain with the first treatment site, however, nothing like it was last week. I still have the soreness in my upper abdomen and can feel the same soreness in my mid section. My stomach is back to a normal size and I do not see any improvement yet. I am also on Weight Watchers and did lose weight this week, but I'm certain it's due to diet, not the procedure. I'm optimistic that things will start to show a good result. My stomach is not flat like most of the photos that are posted on this site. I have a pouch from my large babies and my goal was to reduce this pouch. My skin is also not tight, stretch marks for sure. So I'm not expecting amazing flat stomach, skin tightening, results, just a reduction of the pouch. The one thing to remember is that some people do experience pain, burning pain that keeps you from doing your daily activity. So plan accordingly for the worst case scenario if you are going to undergo this procedure. I didn't, which caused a problem with my work and my family. I'm still optimistic that I will see a good result. Once I am closer to results, I'll post the photos.

Dr. Ballentyne was very friendly and answered my questions. I felt he informed me of the procedure. The clinical technician, who I spent the most time with was exceptional. I'm just horrible with names and wish I took note of her name tag.
