 Just came back from my doc appt and everything is going good.  I go back to work in Monday and he said I could as long as I felt up to it.  I am a nurse and part of my job is paper work and part patient care...so I will just go back to the paper work part for a month...no lifting or exercise yet for another month.  I am still having a lot of back pain from the lipo and he said to take warm baths so I am thrilled about that...I love baths and that should help.
He said I am still swollen a nd it will take awhile to go down and that  I should expect to lose a few more lbs when the swelling goes down....yeh!,,
My incisions don't heal we'll...they develop thick scars (keloids) so I have to put paper tape on them for atleast six months.
   I just love my doc and so happy with my results.  I am not sure that I have ever had this flat of a stomach!

So for those of you just fresh post op or soon to be...hang in there, it really does get better!

That is a really great report.  I hope all goes well for you when you return to work, and that is good news for losing a few more!  Bonus

Sounds like you are rockin' and rollin'! Excellent update. Isn't the flat stomach amazing. I KNOW I've never had a stomach tihs flat and I spend probably a little too much time looking at it! LOL!

Glad you're doing great.
