8 days post op... Bruising getting better but I was warned I may have another layer of bruises that had not " surfaced" yet! But swelling had kicked in for me ! I feel bigger now than I did the day after ! Trying to stay positive as much as I can. My PS told me it was ok to use a spanx garmet ( extra control) so that's what I have been doing. Can't wait to restart my insanity program !! 2 more weeks !

How are you feeling? I'm currently 4 days post op after getting lipo on back, flanks and abdomen. I had a TT a year ago and also had my scar edges revised because I had some dog ears. Today I'm feeling a little discouraged because every time I take off my binder, I just don't see much of a difference (especially on the back area), but I am really swollen and covered in bruises so I suppose it's too soon to be expecting results. I look forward to seeing updates and see how you are looking now that you are closer to 2 months post op. :)

First day back at work,
Having trouble focusing. I also have some sort of bug as a have a fever of 101. My doctor checked me out and my incisions look great so it's not related to surgery. Sitting at my desk in my compression garment is less than fun :( ugh 5 will not come soon enough!!

I had full abdominoplasty last year and today scheduled revision using liposuction of "love handles" and upper abdomen. How long did your bruising last? Have you posted pics after healing?

You are going to look great! I love your dog she/he is looking at you saying" Mom please don't go back to work!":) A question do they put the compression garment on while you are still asleep or do they help you put it on after??:)
