Ack! First sight of loose skin

I've noticed some more of the swelling go down in the "pooch" area. It's almost looking pretty flat which is good but I've noticed some loose looking skin at the bottom. I've been applying firming cream twice a day so hopefully that helps. I will post pictures closer to Friday so I can hit the three week mark.

Thank you! I'm super excited. I'm wearing a long black dress today and I have NEVER felt so slim (especially with the CG on).

You look great! I just had the same procedure done. I'm on Day 2 and can't wait to see the results down the line.

A note on my second stage garment

BostonGrad23
It's beige with suspenders, allows me to wear my own bra, and has "legs" that go down to my knees. It is SO much more comfortable but I really hate that the legs are so long. You can see them in pretty much all of my dresses and shorts would be impossible. I tried rolling them up but that only works for 2 minutes. I'm thinking of cutting them but am worried I will ruin it. I also ordered another Marena garment from Amazon that does not have legs. I want to be able to wear both anyway since this will be my life for three months (right during the summer!) Any ideas?
Also, I beginning to notice bigger changes for the better in how I look so I will be posting more pics soon! I've just been forgetting in the morning/running out the door for work. I have a lot of hard spots but I'm just trying to massage them when I can.
I just saw a friend I hadn't seen since last August and he said he couldn't tell I'd had anything done...which is good because I had gained 20 pounds since I had last seen him!!
I was also wondering if any of you have had to deal with negative reactions from judgey people. I've recently found out that a lot of people think I did it because of a recent break up but I had the appointment scheduled before the break up ever happened...

I did not tell anyone. My sister met me at the airport in Phoenix and she was my help buddy. She is the only one that knows. We spent 8 of the 10 days visiting relatives and shopping. I was never once asked about it since everyone knew I had been working out, swimming, and losing weight. Ppl just comment how good I look and how my efforts are paying off. Lol
