So I haven't post anything because I'm really not seeing much of a difference. My right flank is still not flat like I had hoped and I am starting to think that I need to go back which is really disappointing. I've even lost weight. Whatever. I guess this is what I paid for. And it really sucks because I have to pay a reduced price (but I still have to pay) for something that should have been done the first time.

7.5 weeks post op.
I feel like I'm posting the same photos over and over again. Nothing new. My flanks still hurt and they are still numb. I only wear my compression garment at night now. It's been long enough it think. I go and see my surgeon on Tuesday. I really need so reassurance or something. I'll post after Tuesday.

Happy Monday!
Let us know how everything goes Tuesday. Be patient- it can take months to see results and for all the swelling to finally resolve.
At ur time I had posted that I was ready to throw in the towel since my results seemed to be getting worse. I started massaging with cocoa butter and a electric massager for 10-15 minutes 2-3 Times a day. By the sixth month Mark things had settled down and I am happy with my results. It does take longer for some of us. Good luck.
Thanks. I have a feeling that it will take awhile as it still hurt to touch my sides. I'm hoping that means its still swollen
I had a sore/tender spot under my left rib section for about four months. It has slowly gone away and I have no idea why that was the only spot that bothered in that way.
how are things going Phoenix?
Hey, I woul like to say that things are better, but I still feel like my flanks haven't changed. I still can't wear my pants and that's really upsetting for me :(
I've gone for lymphatic massage and I'm hoping that that will help. Thanks for checking on me. I'll post again soon

6 weeks today.
So, I'm 6 weeks and the more time passes, the more discouraged I get about my results. You can see in the pictures that I still have love handles. I still can't put my pants in and the largest part of my stomach had been 35 inches with no change for weeks. I'm not shinking at all. Not to mention the fact that my flanks are still tender. All I want out of this surgery was to not hang over my pant. I'm sad and it really upsets me because I was soo excited, and I got my hopes up. If I need a revision, I have to pay..... And didn't even have the extra money for it the first time. I hate looking in the mirror but can't help it. I've been eating chicken and vegetables, egg whites and oatmeal, counting carbs and calories. Eating exactly what I'm suppose to and working out. I can't seem to lose weight or inches. I feel defeated.

Try to stay positive&hang in there.
It takes 6 months for the end result. I know it is frustrating waiting but i hope it does prevail.
Thanks. I hope so to. Everyday is different. It's been emotional though. It's great to have this site so I'm not alone
These procedures do take an emotional toll on us physically&mentally.
I can empathize. Don't let these emotions defeat you.
You are definitely not alone.
I hop each day gets better and better for you.
TGIF! :)
Thanks for the kind words, I hope it does to XO
Hope,sorry for typo. :/
Yw!
Have a Good Night!
Hey honey. Yep I'm with you on the disappointed front. Expected no hangover in the jeans. I'm 4 weeks post. You have had a change. Have you put your photos side by side on one of those before and after apps? They show you'd change better. And have you done a sitting shot and a dive pose they show good difference in you. It's a lot of money to spend and not be happy. Especially when you are other girls on here with great results
I did some measurements and measure exactly the same so I know how u feel
Hey, thanks so much. Not being alone helps, talking on this site is reassuring. I definitely see a difference in the front and its great.... But my biggest problem was the flanks..... And it frustrates me because my surgeon said he took everything out of my flanks. I'm just hoping its swelling or pockets of fluid or something like that lol. You hang in there too. I right there with you. Fingers crossed for both of us, XO
Hang in there girl- it can take a few months before the swelling goes away. You can always call your doctor and see what they think, too. Keep us posted :)
Thanks for the support. PS tomorrow
