**WAVE**

Im 7wks out today and I must say....WOW. Just.............WOW. For the first time in my life - Im 100% pleased with my body.
I went from a tight 14 to a 10. Im not swelling much at all - and in fact I have been out of binders for nearly a week with no real swelling. I did have one day in there that got a little puffy so I slept in the binder and all was well.

In the end - was it worth it. ABSOLUTELY. Even the fist up the butt. It's all good. Haha. Not that I'd volunteer to go that route again - but hey - Im very happy with my results.

Will I get my arms and legs done? Nope. They are hanging - but you know what. I dont care. I honestly do not. They dont bother ME. and Im  not much in favor of another surgery personally.

Thanks again to Dr. Lo!!! Ill see ya thursday for my follow up and hopefully belly button piercing!!!

So glad to hear you are doing well!!!!!  I know you had a few rough days early on but it sounds like it was all straightened out in the long run.  I am only 4 weeks out, I hope I am where you are at 7 weeks!!  Robin

Congratulations! Wonderful that things are going so well.

I haven't done this yet and your comment about the "fist up the butt" has me wondering. What is that all about?

You have to read some of her latest posts.  It's ALL on there!  She had some severe constipation problems after her surgery.  Nuff said.

Yep, Mel is right. I had such severe constipation that I tried everything to go and sat for 3 hours (there is NO exageration here), trying to move my bowels and they wouldn't budge. Ended up in ER having to have Docs hand up my bum to break it up and dig it out.

Constipation can sneak up on you VERY easily after surgery (what with anesthesia and then pain meds that sometimes nauseate you so that you dont want food or drink), always stay on top of your movements!
