6.5 weeks post

WORTH IT
So I'm about 6.5 weeks post and I'd be lying if I said I was happy with my results. I'm still swollen and very stretchmarky if that's a word lol. I look great in clothes but not so much in the mirror. I'm seriously thinking about a tummy tuck. In still sore and I have hard sore spots. I'm going for my lymphatic massages and I guess they are helping but they still hurt. I'll take any/all advice you got ladies

congratulations on your procedure. Your should be taking arnica tablets they are natural and definitely using the arnica gel it will help minimize the stretchmarkings on your abs, I hope this help God Bless and a speedy recovery .
I stopped taking them because I didn't think they were helping but I'll continue again. I've been using strivectin sd. Thank you for your help.
Epsom salt baths Will help with the soreness eucalyptus oil is good in there with it it helps muscles heal
Put the oil in the bath? I'm down for whatever if it will work!!
Yes. It will also help remove some water weight too.
Be patient sis. It will calm down..I've heard it takes up to a year to see full results. I'll wait till about month 4 to start worrying, but you look great already.
I'm trying to be patient. I'm already looking at tummy tuck dr's...i hD really really hoped for more but I keep telling myself I'm still healing.
Well I saw a Dr. Lebowitz on YouTube in Staten Island. He does just taking the skin off IN OFFICE under local anesthetic. Awesome Doc. I watch his surgery's and he has a video of it.. Check him out on there Lebowitz Plastic Surgery. That's what I plan to do if I'm not happy.. You don't need a full TT with muscle repair, it's not bulging. I don't think I could handle that recovery.. This one is too long its self.lol.
What kind of Lopo did you have?
You Look good, I also had liposuction on 06/03/2016. It hurts so bad, I'm going through the itching phase and the nerves triggering and hurting. However, I ended up with skin necrosis, because my garment was too small and Iost circulation on my right side. Plus I think the doctor was too aggressive with the liposuction he took out more than 4000 cc. I can see a difference but I'm in so much pain from my skin necrosis until I can even be happy. But you look great and hang in there, I have been told it gets better later!!! :-)
Thank you Vanessa...I'm so sorry to hear that your going through that. There is nothing worse then being in pain because of someone else. And yes this does hurt lol. I'm going through the itching phase also...I'm pretty much flat just not completely and I have stretch marks. But I'm trying to stay positive I really really am.
Thanks for the encouragement, GOD,knows I need every little bit!! LOL! To be honest at this point if I had it to do over I wouldn't...maybe later on I will feel different. I haven't even been able to put on regular clothes, the dressing makes me look big as if I never had anything done. But when I take off my clothes and there is no dressing I can defiantly tell a big difference. I'm trying to stay positive as well, but it is hard for me at this point! Thanks for responding and hang in there, we both will come out of this victoriously....

You're results are coming along nicely. Are you using the ab board? Along with the compression garment?
No ab board...do you think I need one? How does it help?
The purpose of the board is to flatten the abdominal skin after liposuction. I believe most of the RSelfers are getting them off Amazon and it will give better results when used with the compression garment.

ordered it!!
A lot of people had messages included my Dr. specifically said " No Messages", I wonder why, when others have them included??
Wow you look wonderful on day13!!!! Like not the same person! Show us photo(s) of day 26 or 6 weeks. Is you tummy staying flat? I'm scheduled in Aug. We love the success stories!!!
you look great, it takes such a long time to heal and get your final results. I am 7 weeks out and still lumpy and by night time I swell up a lot but I am very active all day long. I wish I had gotten an ab board my dr. did not suggest it and its to late now. Good luck on your recovery and remember to just be patient
Nice job can you post cost please?

Exactly 2 weeks post op

So today marks two weeks exactly from having my surgery. I'm in almost no pain at all I'm so happy about that. I didn't like the idea of tradition pain medication so I took extra strength curamin and it helped a lot with the pain. My results are not where I want them to be yet and I understand that I am still very very early in the healing process. I'm crazy optimistic and I'm expecting awesome results..I just understand that they will come with time. I exercised this morning and my stomach was hard and lumpy. I've heard that sometimes exercise makes results worse but I love to exercise and I wanted to know how my body would react. I walked 20 min on a treadmill at a 3.0 speed and I did resistance band work for about 20 minutes. I felt great but my stomach didn't seem to appreciate it much. I had a synergie massage scheduled for today and I was so grateful when she was done. Synergie does not feel good in the beginning stages. It's like a vacuum sucking whatever those hard spots are to the surface so they can be drained I think. My massage therapist was girl you needed this so bad today...I did I did!! I can almost feel the fluid moving through my body...think drinking water on an empty stomach and seeing how you feel it traveling through your body. I got 8 free massages with my procedure so for that I'm grateful.
