I really wish there was a way to edit on here!
I forgot to add, the only part I am worried about is the front of my stomach around my belly button. You can see its the part that still sticks out and such, and loots a bit boxy... I am not too worried, I will bring it up with my PS when I return to see him in a few weeks. He has mentioned some other things he can do to my results, so I am not overly worried. I just keep in mind that the best results take the longest...

Ur results look amazing. Don't worry too much about the lumps it takes time. Just continue to wear ur garment. I have been wearing mine for almost 8 weeks even though you don't need to for that long. I think it helps with smoothing out the bumps.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience. I have a similar situation that you had, I'm active but my tummy is the only part of my body that does not slim down . I'm looking forward to seeing more of your post, thanks!

Sorry I kind of went missing...

Sorry for the delayed update! Life has been crazy!

So Things are going well. I am still slightly swollen... but every week it gets better and better. I am also going longer and longer without having to use my compression garment. Although, I still feel more comfortable with it on. my PS says that I am going to continue to notice the result improving for months. So while it's not 100% what I want yet, it is gradually getting there. Every week I feel more and more comfortable in my own skin. :)

3 Weeks out

jessjess88
So everything is going well. I stopped feeling so sick around day 8 or so. Stomach was a bit sensitive during week 2, but definitely had more of an apetite. I saw my PS last week. He says I am healing well. I am of course still swollen, but that is to be expected for a few months. Also, there is a bit of hardness on my stomach, but I have been massaging it. I know it will eventually go away. The swelling gives me a bit of weird shape in my stomach, but you can't tell under my compression garment that I have. I looveee my new shape though! I have already been told how tiny I am looking, and i looove it! I have moments that I don't feel like I have had surgery at all because the recovering is going well... but then I go to bend over, and I definitely remember. Mainly it is just the swelling that is annoying. I will hopefully add some more photos here shortly. A bit too lazy tonight. It has been a rough week, and it is only Wednesday! Sometimes I get a bit bent out of shape because of the slow healing process and the swelling, but then I remind myself that I picked the winter so while I was healing I could be fully clothed... Hopefully by summer It will be looking a lot better! But so far, it is going well :)

Glad to hear things are going well. I am 7 1/2 weeks out and the hardness in my abdominal area has just started to subside. I am still wearing the CG 24/7. Good luck with things continuing to go so well.

Thank you for posting. I'm having lipo on June 12 and I'm super excited and nervous at the same time. Reading your blog helps me to see what happens through out the process. Can't wait to see your most up to date pics. I'm sure you look fabulous.

I posted 1 month post pics... okay more like 1 month and week post op pics. I wish you luck on your surgery! I was the same way, I was soooo nervous waiting for my surgery. The first week afterwards was the worst. There was maybe one or two moments I regretted my decision, but that was the heat of the moment because I was so sick from the anesthesia, and I was sore and in some pain. But after a week it just got better and better. I am so glad I did it. I feel so much more confident in my clothes.

Any new post op pics to see how you are doing? I feel my right flank as fat as before... I imagine its the swelling....
March 28, 2014
I definitely feel that way, but then I compare the before pics to a current pick and I can see that my shape is different and better. Also, my clothes do look a lot better on me, and my friends always comment on how skinny and tiny I am. I am definitely a lot happier, but definitely have some recovery and improvement to go. Hope you are doing well!
