Hi everyone, So yesterday I hit my 1 month...
WORTH IT$4,250
Hi everyone,
So yesterday I hit my 1 month post-op and all is well. As you can see from the pictures I have tightened up quite a bit but still have some ripples on my lower abdomen that I hope will go away fairly soon. It does not feel bumpy at all, just feels like loose skin so I hope this is normal and will go away over time. I am back into my normal routine at the gym and able to go at 100%, the only thing that I haven' tried to do yet is running. I have my follow-up appointment with my doctor this Thursday so I will ask if its ok to start again and whether I can stop wearing this compression garment.
I'll keep you posted!

Day 16
Hi everyone,
So I am finally going to update my measurements.
I added upper and lower abdomen to my measurements as well as this is where I saw the most change. Unfortunately I did not take these before my procedure which I wish I had but I did take them the day after (March 26th).
I measured upper and lower abdomen at:
upper 38.5
lower 40
Full current measurements are:
Chest: 39" (change 0")
Rib Cage: 33" (change 0")
Waist: 31" (change 4")
Upper Abdomen: 34" (4.5")
Lower Abdomen: 38.5" (1.5")
Hips: 39" (change 0")
Down by a total of 10" :)
I was back regularly at the gym this past week and am feeling really good. I would say that I am back to around 95%.
I am going on a hot vacation in three weeks so am really hoping my results are good enough to wear my FIRST EVER bikini!!
I will try to post some more pictures today as well.

I'm not sure about the medical risks, did you try searching for this on the site?what did your doctor say?
All that I would recommend is just to be mindful that your body is still healing and to not push yourself too hard, if anything starts to hurt then stop. I think that exercising has helped speed up my healing but everyone is different, with that being said I was very conscious about listening to my body and not exceeding my limit.
How has your recovery been? Much pain?
good luck with your trial run. Let me know how out went.

Hi Lauren,
Feel free to post your question on our Doctor Q&A Forum. They're really good about providing opinions on post-op issues.
Hope this helps!

Hmm, that's strange. I see four questions on your profile (http://www.realself.com/user/138312). Were there others? Please PM me the details and I'll track them down for you.
(Sometimes our emails telling you the questions have been published or you've gotten answers get sent to spam folders by mistake, so that might explain why you weren't contacted.)

Hi everyone!
Well it's been one week and I am doing excellent. I have been taking pictures almost every day but was so shocked at the difference between Wednesday and Thursday! I couldn't believe the change.
I am in little to no pain, still a little sore when I walk too fast or get up suddenly. I have bruising on my lower abdomen that seems to be healing and my incisions are healing up very nicely.
I went to the gym on Wednesday to lift weights and that felt good, I stayed away from any core workout though. Other than that I've been doing my usual thing and trying to walk around as much as possible. I'm drinking lots of water and eating healthy too which is a must. I am done my antibiotics and am on no pain killers either, just taking Arnica still to help with bruising.
Every day seems so exciting, I can't wait to go home at night and look at my results, take measurements and pictures. I'm going out for supper tomorrow night with some friends and tried on one of my tighter dresses and it looks AMAZING! Can't wait to wear it. I am also wearing my ultra-super skinny jeans that I've never fit into before (my sister gave them to me) and they are smokin hot! Life is gooooood :)
I will post more pics and my measurements tonight when I get home.
Ciao

I'm happy that u r doing so well. Congratulations!. I too have been overweight my entire life. I've lost about 100pds & have recently joined weight watchers to lose the last 30.
My doctor told me a minimum of 4 weeks before I could start running again which at this point I still agree with, there are times when I move too fast that my abdomen will hurt so I still don't push myself as much as before. As running is very 'bouncy' it would likely hurt. He also told me that it could negatively effect how my skin tightens.
Right now I am doing a lot of weight training with free weights, zumba dance class and spinning. In my dance class there are certain things I stay away from too, your body will let you know your limit.
Hope this helps.
