3 Months Todau
I know its been a while since I've updated, but here I am....
I'm still in my compression garments; I have been dealing with swell-hell darn near everyday... The swelling don't let up! (nope, I still don't regret having the procedure!)
Been so busy with school, 1st grandbaby, working an internship, working a full time job, hubby, kids and lastly this GA weather can't make up its mind. I haven't worked out at all, trying to eat clean... but Red Velvet Cake keep coming home with me, gained about 5lbs. I'm not sure its weight or water.
I've been sleeping on my stomach for about 3 weeks now, still slow moving but I can fall asleep there. Boobs are still looking fabulous, Navel isn't looking like I thought, it just doesn’t look natural. TT incision has darkened up its very smooth on the front but the sides are raised, at the 3 months point I'm supposed to stop itching, somedays I can scratch the skin off my boobs. I'm now experiencing the boob pain (sharp pains), but I know it’s just nerves reconnecting. Belly is still numb, right side is getting more area of feeling then the left side.
Dr. Z, said at my last appointment he may have to do a little lipo on the front and the sides. The sides have little fat pockets that get sore from being folded by my CG but the front bottom I have a little pooch I believe it’s swelling. I haven’t really experienced the flatness in the morning and swelling in the evening stage yet. I long for the days of right after surgery when I was super sunken, BUT I still look better than I did the day before surgery!
I don’t think I’ve been through the depression stage nor will I… I look in the mirror everyday and say “DAMN, I’M FINE!”
Truly Loving Me and All Of You!

Working out!
I had my month post op appointment last week, so I asked Dr. Z when can I start working out (not like I really wanted to but hey) he says "go ahead, just wear good support". I started Saturday got on the treadmill walk - jog... 27 min - 1.5 mile, I felt ok! no soreness. Today I decided I wanted to get outside and fair'd better in distant and time 2 miles in 30 min. Slow but I feel great!
Question... Anyone notice an uneven healing?... My right side has less swelling than my left. I'm messaging the left side like crazy and still there is a noticeable unevenness.

3 Weeks Post Op
Hey gang... Sorry for just getting updating. I haven't been busy, just LAZY!
Well swell-hell has showed up and showed out! For the past 2 weeks I wake up swollen and go to bed swollen. I'm hunched over in the morning, I may straighten out over the course of the day, but I'm dead dog tired when I get home and extremely hunched over. I'll cook dinner or wash dishes sitting on a stool.
I went back to work this week, everyday has been better than the day before. I can't wait for today to be over, mainly because I want to get in my pajamas and lay on the sofa and watch TV & do nothing!
My doctor said I don’t have the wear the compression binder anymore (x-mas day) I can’t go without it, if I don’t wear it I’m extremely swollen, wearing it has me so irritated, just raw to the touch and I’m wearing a tank top underneath it.
My husband and I went shopping this weekend, I picked up some really hot dresses can’t wait for the spring to wear them. I still can’t wear my jeans even my lose one, I can’t fasten them. If I could fasten them I think I would be in some serious pain. I have been in yoga type pants and dresses. Questions ladies: how long was it before you were able to wear your regular clothes?
Would I do this again... HELL YEAH! I love my new body

Provider Review
Dr. Zwiren, I found the practice on Angielist.com, the office staff is very personable, and Dr. Zwiren is very soft spoken, gentle, he didn't try to sell me something I didn't need!
