30 Year Old Female 1 Child Attempting to Get Wedding Dress Ready - LILBURN, GA

It's definitely changed

Well last time I expressed my concern about my stomach getting bigger. For the life of me I don't understand what's going on. I started the lymphatic massage therapy and she expressed concern about the area that's has alot of pressure and is swelling. She said she had trouble with the drainage because it was so stopped up (whatever that means). She even asked if i was pregnant because my stomach was so hard in that area ( that made me kinda sad) she suggested I go to another doctor to get a 2nd opinion about whatever is going on. I don't have any plans to go to another doctor I'll just check with Dr. Boutte to see what can be done. I've increased my exercise but its weird everytime I work out my stomach gets even bigger. I don't consume alot of sodium. ..i drink nothing but water mainly. I still use arnicare sometimes. I still compress even though it feels pointless. I can't get support to that area with my faja or my corset. I just continues to poke out. I'm just bummed. My stomach had gotten pretty flat and its like its reversing. Im terrified i won't fit my dress. I just don't know. Im going try not to panic anymore and just try to see the doctor.

I'm nearing my 6 month mark. So here's my opinion. I think Dr. Boutte is pretty good. My stomach is much better than it was pre lipo. I'm thankful for that. Some people would have had to have a tummy tuck because my belly was HUGE. I still have serious concerns about the belly button area. I was told on more than one occasion that it's the last thing to heal and i've tried to be patient and stay compressed. I've been through God knows how many types of garments and it seemed like it would compress everything but that area. I tried smaller sizes and i have bruised my body horribly with small garments trying to compress that area. It has not went down. It's still hard at times and swells. I'm not sure what it is. I was hoping my waist would continue to get smaller like some of the other people on here I saw but everything except my belly button area has pretty much stayed the same. I've noticed things are bit more soft. Everything seemed much tighter at 1st and I expected it to stay that way. I haven't exercised or ate healthy religiously but I have made some improvements. This is not a quick fix..although the fat cells doesnt come back the ones they left can grow. I'm nearing my wedding and im very nervous that I won't fit my dress. They've already told me that I can't gain an inch or my dress won't fit because of the size I ordered. It's kinda of funny im more self conscious than I was before because i'm constantly worried that my stomach will get bigger and I will have wasted my money. I plan to contact Dr. Boutte about a revision or touch up of that area. I've seen reviews of people having bad experiences with revisions or even getting a response from her regarding revisions but I pray im not one of those people. I'm going to try one more thing before contacting her because I honestly dont want to go through this again but my wedding is 5 months away and it's on the beach. I haven't felt comfortable in a swim suit in almost 10 years and I really want the opportunity to show off my body without feeling like im fat. I understand I play an important in being able to do that but if she can just get my stomach together she will have truly changed my life lol seriously.
