I took a photo yesterday and wanted to share it because I remember thinking I wasn't terribly swollen when I was a couple of weeks post-op. Dr. Michaels told me that my results would keep getting better & better for the first 3-6 months. The below picture is somewhere around 2 weeks post-op (left) and nearly 5 months (I'll be 5 months on June 29th).

In the left picture, I was ~124lbs. In the right picture, I'm 132lbs.

Thanks for sharing Erin! I am 5 1/2 weeks post op and the upper ab is beautifully flat. The lower ab and mons look like I have a softball sticking out. Reminds me of the fibroids sticking out of my abdomen before my hysterectomy. I'm trying not to worry but it looks odd.

I don't think I noticed that I was as swollen as I was. It does get better!

I remember the exact same conversation and scenario. It is a little freaky right? I remember thinking at 5 weeks or so this was it. So not true.
