Well Tuesday will be my 3 week mark since my surgery! I went from a size medium garment, to a size large, to a size extra small!! Boy did my swelling fluctuate, and still is... My only worry is a long dimple underneath my belly button that showed up about a week out, and has been visible for about a week. Can anyone tell me if this might go away????? I'm 23, with excellent skin elasticity, and went to a very prominent surgeon. This is what I was most afraid of!!!
I'm still a bit sore, and I know this is TMI, but I've never read anything about this on here. They told me to wait 2 weeks before having intercourse, and that I still had to wear my garment, awkward! Well, last night was the night haha, it took almost 3 weeks for me to feel comfortable doing the deed with my husband. Maybe I just have a low pain tolerance. ;) He was very patient with the whole thing, he's awesome!! I'm going to post a pic of my belly, the lighting is not the best, so the dimple will be hard to see. But please, someone tell me this won't be permanent!! :(:(

Wow, what a journey this has been! To say it's been a bumpy ride would be an understatement. I'm feeling soooo much better, and finally can move around, drive, get up and down with no problem! I measured myself for the first time, and my measurements are the exact same! Swelling is pretty bad, but I look so awesome. I can wear anything and not have any budges, and lumps of any kind. It feels so good! This garment really rely sucks, and I'm ready to et this damn foam padding out. I've been massaging as well, which doesn't do a whole lot for me so far. It's still pretty early. I'm healing very quickly, it's awesome!! Here are a few new pictures with my clothes on, I'm still not comfortable posted "skin" pics just yet, I'm so very swollen, and a little black and blue!

I agree about the swelling. I posted some pictures today but with the swelling I did not look good but with my clothes on I look much better. I hope the messaging g starts breaking u p some of the hard lumpy areas.

Looks like we will have to put up with the swelling for months! It will be so worth it through ;)

Hey hope you're recovery is going well! How ya feeling?!

Thanks for checking up! Things are going well. The massages are very tiring!!! And the garment is wearing me thin. I went to my PS for my 2nd stage garment and he said I needed to wear the foam for another 2 weeks. Not what I wanted to hear! Overall, I love my shape. BUT, the one thing I dreaded was the possibility of getting dimples, waves, diformaties. Well, about one week out I noticed a long dimple under my belly button. They say it might massage away, but it's not going anywhere.... So that's my biggest worry! I would have never gone through with the surgery had I known it would for sure happen. I also had surgery with the best surgeon in the state! It will be 3 weeks tomorrow. I'm just praying this dimple goes away! How long untill your surgery?

I hear a lot about bumps and dimples... I am so nervous for that... but everyone is saying they typically massage out... fingers crossed yours goes away soon... and tomorrow is my surgery. I am soooo nervous.
February 5, 2014
I hope your surgery went okay! Let me know how your feeling!! Goodluck with everything.
February 5, 2014
Thanks! I wrote that message so early, I really meant tomorrow :) Going in at 11 surgery is scheduled for 1pm! So nervous! I've definitely excited though. Your results look so good! I know it's a long road...
February 6, 2014
It's a very long road. What type of lipo are you getting? Mine was old fashioned tumecent. The worst part of the surgery is your own anticipation, believe me, there is no reason to hype yourself up! You got this :)
February 6, 2014
Same as yours. Tumescent. Will be heading to the hospital in two hours! And thanks girl!

Hope you are through surgery and starting to feel better. Fast healing.

Wow you look amazing - yeah yeah it sucks but worth it when you get rid of the body armour ! I felt tearful too so it really is part of the 'what have I done/ thank goodness it's over/can't ask for sympathy because it's almost self inflicted' - You know what I mean :-). The best part is putting those jeans on which used to cut in a little around your middle - and they're loose - then you know it's worth it.
Keep the faith sweetie - grit your teeth and try to enjoy the ride (which is a roller coaster)

Woww looks great!! We have similar results :-) my major swelling has just started a few days ago and I'm about 2 weeks post

It's crazy! I look skinny in the front, and back, but from the side I look really wide! It must be the swelling. I know it's bad, because I look so much smaller, but my measurements are bigger by an inch! It's pretty annoying. One day my garment will be sort of loose, so I wash and dry it so it will tighten up. Then the next day it's so tight I can hardly breath... Lol
