Six week check up! With Pics of incisions
Just had my six week check up...and boy is there something wonderful that happens at six weeks. I am starting to feel like me again FINALLY! Got my green light to run and lift weights, swim, bathe and get rid of my UGLY binder and granny bra!
Onto three-four weeks of shape wear a couple hours a day, and back in my "sexy" bras! Even better with my new boobs!
Only down side my surgeon is amazed at how internally swollen I still am. But insured me that what I see now is NOT my results (which I already love!) and at my six month check I'll be thrilled. Took my pictures so we can compare in February.
Here are pics of my incisions...which are beautiful and healing perfectly! Also a before photo of where I came from on my journey with weight loss. Hope this is encourages others!
Miserable at 272lbs
After weight loss surgery and plastics (Keep in-mind I am SUPER swollen still)
Marks are from wearing my binder

Fabulous, Elle!! Your scars are already fading a lot and your incision is nice and low (I've noticed a lot of surgeons seem to place them high). Your swelling will go down in no time!!

I noticed that too Laura. I've seen so many that seem so high to me. I feel blessed to have such a gifted surgeon, and love how my incisions have ended up, and where they are located.
Thanks for your sweet comments. I can't WAIT for the swelling to come down. Dying to see how flat I will be
Hows being back at work for you? Are you tired still?
