Just wanted to give everyone a quick update. I'm doing really well lately I just finished off a package of 12 massages and starting to feel super normal. My Seroma is finally gone there's still a little fluid but not enough to drain anymore. I'm sure my body will reabsorb it at some point. The staph infection is also gone :) the only problem I'm having now is my belly button refuses to scab over. I was told to keep a cream that was given by Baez with gauze in it for the first 4weeks and did as I was instructed but since removing it and not using the cream the inside has a moist white part that just won't dry up -_- I have just been trying to keep it clean and shielding it wit gauze so my shirt doesn't touch it or germs go near. I still have a lot of swelling in my lower abdomen which I read is completely normal and should start resolving at 2months. Every week keeps getting better. It's tough wearing my faja when I go to bed I feel like I'm trapped but I make sure I do during the day. Other than that not much else to update. Tomorrow marks 5 weeks. Someone asked me if I had lipo on my back and yes of course I did. I attached some photos. Quick before and afters from before my first round and a back shot. Tty all soon.

Are you happy with your results? I didn't get a chance to see any of your pics before you removed them. I'd really appreciate it if you would post a before and after shot with your next update. Hope you are doing well...

I woke up this morning in such a great mood! I've been having so many moments this week where I feel so normal which I know is a good thing because I know it means I'm that much closer to being healed. Right now I'm getting ready to go to an appointment to see a plastic surgeon so he can tell me if everything is good and also to deal with my seroma and staph issues. The great news is I haven't drained the seroma since Saturday and it's less than half the size it was! I'm hoping today that we can resolve the issue completely. I have been reading up on a steroid injection that you can use to try and collapse the cavity wall. I'm going to see what my best option is maybe we will just drain it again. My body is starting to look nicer the swelling is going down and the fluid has not really been building up. I took a couple pics for you dolls since I'm feeling so good today. I shall let you all know how my appointment goes I hope everyone enjoys their day!

Went to Dr yesterday she said the infection is going away but did nothing for me in terms of draining. Good news is that it's going away and my massage for will drain me dry today. I'm so full of fluid I must have at least a Half liter again. So frustrating! I promised myself that after she gets this [RS bleep] out in not playing anymore games with my faja I want to see if keeping it tight actually helps with the accumulation. My gf doesn't have staph infection only seroma problems so it didn't come from DR. I'm beginning to think it came from my drain holes which wouldn't close. I found stitches spitting out of them last week so they were wide open for a good 3weeks. Staph lives on your skin so I'm pretty much convinced it happened here. So other than that I'm left to roll with the punches and IM just going to continue to keep hoping and praying this damn seroma goes away soon. My PCP assured me someone will be calling from a plastic surgeon office soon. I'll keep you all posted when I get one.

I really hope it gets better. I bought an ab board from Amazon at the request of my plastic surgeon. After my seroma was drained last week by a stateside PS he recommended laying a folded towel across my abdominal area inside the faja until the ab board I ordered arrived. So far so good for me

Glad it isn't getting worse. You will probably feel like a new person once you are rid of that fluid.
