panni on 3/10 BEFORE AND AFTER PIC NOW!!

 before and after    skin is to thin to pull down tight and will have a revision again next year mabe . my doctor worries about an infection againso he is not being aggresive with me . I trust him and agree.any way I think it looks so much better and feels lighter and no more Boils I hope down there!!

 Hi Denise - 

It's quite common to have not lost any, or even gain some, pounds after surgery.  Your body went through a traumatizing surgery and so you need to give it time to heal as you are only a couple of days out.  I wouldn't worry about the numbers too much at this point.  I was 178 the day I went in for my TT, was 171 a few days after and now I'm at 176.  I don't stress about it too much because I know that most of the weight fluctuations is because of the swelling.

I couldn't see your pics - looks like your profile is set to private, but as long as you are happy with no longer having the overhang then that's all that matters.  I know I'm extremely pleased that my apron is GONE.

Hang in there!

I'm still pretty swollen so it's hard for me to get too excited, yet, as I still look like I have a little muffin top. grrr...

oh your pictures are beautiful !!what did you do ?? just an anchor cut or more? and what town are you from I never heard of that place .  You look fabulous!! I have more swelling today , my pubic area is Huge now? any way thanks for sharing
Denise

 Thanks, Denise.  I had just an anchor cut with Muscle Repair.  No Lipo. I was slightly on the heavy side when I went in at 178 so I don't expect total perfection but Doc assures me that what I see is for sure swelling.  I haven't been wearing the correct compression garments so I'm swelling probably more than I should be.  

I'm in Long Beach, CA which is south of Los Angeles.  My pubic area gets a little big, too, so I make sure to wear Spanx with my binder and that helps compress things from my pubic area and my thighs.  Boy did my thighs gets huge. LOL

How are you feeling today now that you are a few days out?  Around this time was when I was having the, "omg what did I do" talk with myself. lol

Cheers,
Tisha

Hey Denise!
I call my pubic area - the Ken Doll!  That's what it looks like!

Give it some time.. Its only been a few days.. I know I stayed at 138 for like a week or two and I ended up at 130 and I teeter between 130 and 133,, Give it some time..
Best Wishes

Natalie
