Excellent experience - bye, bye muffin top!

Wish I did this sooner! I was very nervous about the procedure. But the nurses and docs at Finesse are total pros and know exactly what they're doing. It turned out great. I'm only 3 days in so I've got a way to go but already loving it. So happy to have that miserable muffin top gone!!

Days 3-6 were peek swelling, and even with that it wasn't so bad. It just felt tighter or poofier under the compression garment. Hard to describe. Now on Day 11, the swelling has subsided substantially so I have to continually adjust the compression garment so it won't wrinkle and pinch. The compression garment is supper annoying but necessary for support. Yellowish bruising is still apparent. In a few areas, there is numbness, tenderness and some lumpiness - all very subtle. It sounds worse than it really is (in my case) and I'm told all will subside over time and with help from the deep tissue massages that come starting week 3. I'll send more pics later today. Thank you all for you comments! It's been a great relief to have this community to share.

Here are photos from Day 11 - when I compare the before photos to these I feel emotional. Just so happy that old belly is gone! The compression garment has zippers and eye hooks on both sides. It's annoying but it works for support.
