Hello ladies!!!! So I always wondered why so many people post and post and then stop following up on their reviews. Now I know it's because after about 2 months life just goes back to normal and you don't think about it as much. This whole experience has been amazing. I feel great and look great. The swelling still occurs but not near as much. And best part is that I can wear anything I want now and look amazing in it!!!! I have my last post op appointment next week and can't wait for the dr to take my after pics. I have attached some 3 month pics for you all to see! I hope everyone is doing well and if your in the recovery faze just wait it out because it does get better. Trust me!!!!!

Hello everyone! So this whole experience for me has been a roller coaster of ups and downs. I feel great now! I am pretty much back to normal as far as activities go. I look, well, I look very puffy and what I hope is just swelling. I am not waking up to that flatness that I once was and it just gets worse as the day goes. I'm still super happy with my results and wouldn't change my decision I just wish I could see that flatness that I saw when I first had the surgery. I know I may just still be swollen and need to continue with patience but it's hard lol. I keep freaking out that maybe I busted my sutures and that's why it protrudes like it does. the dr said there is basically a 0% chance that I did that though. Hopefully he is right and this will pass soon! Anyways I do feel great just puffy lol. I attached a few pictures from first thing this morning so here ha go! :)

I'm 7 weeks PO and have the feelings you do. I'm not as flat as I was in the beginning either. I know I'm retaining fluid cause I can feel something moving around in my tummy when I push in on one side. Probably going back to the doctor's office later in the week so his nurse can aspirate the fluid again.

Can't wait for all the swelling to go away and hopefully I'll be nice and flat again.

You look terrific! You have a wonderful shape! Keep us updated on how your healing is coming along.

Thank you! It is nice to hear other people going through the same thing you are. I don't notice any waterbed type effect so I never really thought of the fluid build up. Mine is very hard but puffy if that makes sense, lol. You look wonderful as well!

I'm so glad you feel great. I think you look fantastic. I'm only 11 days out and can't believe how many ups and downs I've had. I've heard that I need to give it a solid six months to be done with the swelling. It seems so far away. lol Happy healing.

Thank you! The ups and downs start being more ups than downs the longer you go. I definitely feel better more than not. I am just so impatient, lol. You look great too btw!

Time flies and trust me, in another six months you'll be as flat as you want to be. By then all swelling should have subsided. For sure, after a year your results will be permanent! You look great!!

Hi! You look great! I think what you're going through is completely normal. I felt the same way and then I tried arnica and I think it's made a difference, but it could all be in my mind...anyway just thought I'd suggest it. I got the cream and the arnica 30x by highlands from Sprouts. I also youtubed how to give myself lymphatic massage, I haven't done that in awhile but I also think that helped.
I need to post an update, it's just been nuts lately!
