7 weeks later!!
So just when I thought the swelling was never going down, it went down drastically in week 6. I have been drinking fresh cut Ginger tea with cinnamon and lemon around the clock all week. I am sure that helped with the swelling. I also purchased the ab board off amazon for $20 and that has helped with the bump on my upper abdominal area. I really wished I had this weeks ago!! The CG can not creas so the board has helped tremoundously. I have finally booked my first massage that has a combo of Infrared Cavitation, Carboxytherapy, and
Lymphatic drainage massage for this Wednesday. I will find out what they are exactly when I get there. It is out in Brooklyn and it is called Casa De Munecas (house of dolls), it has rave reviews, $80 a session.
More scabs fell off my nipples, happy about that. TT incisons are healing nicely, can't wait to start scar therapy. I am not as stiff as before. I am more mobile than ever before but still a slow walker. I dont know how people can start working after 2 weeks post op.
I have notice that the hard spots on my waist were the lipo incisons are softer than last week.
So far I happy with the Docs work :)
I am also on the 2nd row of latches on the CG.

So
1 month post op
Up until this time I was very swollen and puffy. I had much stiffness and discomfort but I was never in pain. I have a bump over my belly button I hope its not a seroma. I think it is just uneven swelling. Any questions I have had for Dra.Bello have been answered via communication thru Whatsapp. No, I haven't had a professional massage yet but husband has been with arnica gel. It helped with the stiffness.
No infections, adnormal swelling or redness, discharge, open incisions.. Nada... I am in the clear.
I still had scabs on my nipple incisions. Again I know I am a slower healer so I need more time. I never messed with my incisions and I clean them with alcohol every 2 days and with a fresh guaze each time.
On my 2nd stage faja(compression garmet) it is really tight and I am only on the 1st set of latches! I pretty much have it on 24/7, yes I sleep in it thanks to advilPM. I have read othe Docs have different comments on the CG. My Doc said 3 months.... Obviously I can take small breaks but I should wear it more often than not. Helps with putting pressure on the swelling and body shaping. I had a tummy tuck with lipo so I understand my swelling is gonna be a longer trip. I am gaining sensation back on my stomach and its always tingling, like when your arm or leg falls asleep. My flanks are still numb and swollen. My boobies are achy at times but it subsides quickly.
Just taking it easy.
