Week Four Update... Tummy almost totally flat...

Week Four Update...

Tummy almost totally flat. Stretch marks are really fading. Guess they couldn't do that before since they never got a break. Now to really begin actually working out. Have these hard knots on the bottom of my tummy that I am supposed to begin massaging this week, but we'll take that slow since its uncomfortable to even lightly massage them. Stitches fell out. No longer painful to twist, sit, bend or stand. Slept on my tummy last night too.

LOVE these results.

Still wear the corsets because my skin just feels more secure when i'm wearing one.

Measurements fluctuates between 32 and 33. Hip is pretty constant at 41. Can't wait to see all the shrinkage once I begin my 2 hours of exercise 5 days a week! Whooohooo!

Thanks alot for your post. I had my upper and lower abdomen done 6 days ago.. I can't lie I removed my wrap around not the garment/ girtle for a night of sleep but put it back on in the a.m like 3 a.m. I hope that wasnt too long, but my garment is sooooooo tight OMG

lol, I wanted to take mine off so bad. It will get looser as your swelling goes down. You know what I found to be more uncomfortable than the compression garment? Spanx! Ugghhhh. I cannot.

Three Week Update... Hi! 1. The bruising...

Three Week Update...

Hi!
1. The bruising was actually gone at the end of week 2.

2. Still swelling. Waist measurement is 33 some days and 32 on others. Hip is 41. That's down 9 inches from my pre-op measurements of 39 inch waist and 44 inch hips. Friggin awesome.

3. What is working best for me to reduce swelling are Arnica pills, ginger capsules, vitamin A, fish oil capsules (in addition to the vitamin a), and ibuprofen. All of which are known to reduce inflammation. When took my girdle off too soon and developed all that swelling and edema, I started the aforementioned vitamin combo and the edema was gone in two days. The extra swelling was gone in three.

The bruises are gone, so i'm done taking the arnica.
