Long Awaited and Anticipated Journey... Healing Up

Finally I'm out of the faja during the day and I can wear yoga pants instead. Such a relief. Can't wait until I'm out of the faja for good...still have to wear it at night.
Yesterday I had my first lymphatic massage. I booked it with Satori by Deborah in Cincinnati. She did a wonderful job. I felt comfortable with her and I felt like I lost a little of the swelling and stiffness around my waist right after. She was very informative about how salt and fat will affect the process and has gone through it herself!
I overdid it on the garden work the day before our massage so my knees were swollen. Posting a video with a good view of before and afters from the process I've been through over the past few weeks. Another followup with Dr. Tork today, hope I'm doing my bellybutton training correctly.

Today was another nice quick check in with Doctor Tork. He is very busy, he showed up in scrubs right directly from surgery and was smiling and always very nice. He took the pictures for my Before & After with the same bikini that I wore when I went in first, I can't wait to get those pictures back. I am very blessed my fiance has been by my side the whole process with me, and he was there to help today as usual, as the Doctor explained how to use the special silicone scar tape. This did cost a little extra and also he explained how to do the belly button training. I was confused about this because I personally feel that the belly button I am looking at is perfect the way it is, but Doctor Tork says that it is important because the scars will change and that is how the silicone and the belly button training will keep everything looking nice. The scar tape itself cost A little extra money, but it is supposed to last for several months. Doctor Tork seems to be pleased with the healing so far and he also gave me a new and clean foam for under the faja. You have to wear the faja 24/7 for 6 weeks... I also am now able to sleep on my side and to sleep in bed although I often like to pile up a blanket underneath my waistline just because I am kind of meticulous myself about the curves right now and my current hip 2 waist ratio is awesome. I am beyond pleased but I cannot wait till the day I can remove my faja and start walking around looking like this with my new body, try on clothes without having to position my extra skin like some of you probably know what I'm talking about!

In this video you will see that I am still just a little bit hunched over... that is the reason for the hunch in my back.
I also hope that if you are looking to have this procedure you understand that there is a lot of healing time if you have kids you will need having help with them. I cannot imagine having done this with children Running around. I am very pleased so far with how things are looking.
