3 weeks post lbl/bl
Yesterday I had my 3 week follow-up appointment with Dr.LoMonaco. It went well and he said I am healing ahead of schedule. They did an ultrasound to check for hidden pockets of fluid (there were none) and removed some sutures that had poked through the surface. I am off most restrictions now. He said I can walk, use the treadmill, elliptical, and even lift light handweights. Of course there is no heavy lifting or abdominal stuff allowed yet, but at least I can do more now.
I'm still swollen, but I made him promise I will not be the one to end up bigger than I started...lol. Pre-op my waist was 27". 4 days post-op I measured and my waist was 31" and now it has been 29" for a week or so. None of my clothes fit. I can't wait for the swelling to do down!!
Even with the swelling, I love my results already. Dr. L is a miracle worker. My body was a complete mess and now I feel "whole" again. I feel great and my energy is slowly but surely coming back.
I added more pictures from today. My password is abc123. I'll warn you that I'm neked!!
