Yes i feel the hurt as well especially during that time of the mth. I get so bloaded and everything hurts.

Im almost 2 month out of a 360 bodylift and im having the hardest time buying jeans. Im now with a flat stomach. My thighs havent changed much so my regular jeans fit ok in my thighs but they are way to big on top in my hip and waist area.. is it true im gunna have to buy strechy jeans?? Im not a huge fan of those.

Oh im not hating on strechy jeans or leggings ive been living off of those for over a year. I did go to old navy i tried the cury jeans. I love them. I bought a size 6. But as the day goes by they feel loose should i try a 4??

Im not at a normal bmi but i am where i want to be. I feel alot better than i did at my lowest. Im 2 mths post op of my bodylift and i havent gained anything back. Im at 155 and feel awsome!

Yes.. i hate that as well i always have to be fixing them when i sit they all bunch up in the front n have to pull em up. And then the back part.. i will make it my mission to fine ones..

Im gunna trt those stores.

I has a 360 done as well im almost 2 month out. I was concerend when i saw a small opening right at the middle of my crack.. i was terrified. But it wasnt to deep dr just said to cover it up and lots of rest no bending or streching. And i did. Im all closed up now. It wasnt to big maybe less than half an inch but it was still scary. Hope you get better.

Im a little over a mth post op a full body lift. I was doing awsome. I did alittle of everything. And then my menstrual cycle came and its hell!!! I feel bloaded or swollen from my belly button down. I feel like it super tight and streched out. It kinda feels like im carrying weight in that area. And my lower back is killing me... never had this before. Is this normal ???

I was told about the same thing about the indent above the belly button. He said you can see it cause of the strechyness my skin already has. And that is also where the 2 muscles were tied together. So i proceeded to ask if i was to work at it will i get a 6 pack. He said yes!! But not now. Even though i feel perfect im not. So to wait another 2 month. He said i could ho to the gym but only cardio and not to over do it. He did give me this medication cream thats a compound a pharmacist made up and is supose to work worders with scars. Ive been using it for about 2 weeks now and it look pretty good. I dont wanna get ahead of myself so i wanna wait for the full month to see an actual result. Its nice to hear your doing better and hope everything turns out good for you.

Looks like your healing pretty good now. And you look awsome. Another question ive noticed alot of people that have that little fold above the belly button. I have it too. Will it.ever go away some days its more noticeable than others. I was thinking maybe cause we are still a bit swollen

Oh i see. My doctor said no recliners cause i strech my back to much. And i could run the risk of it opening in the back. Im about 6 weeks out and when i sit to long in the recliner it makes my inisions hurt.

Hollyr how did u pop a belly buttun stich. Mine came out in 7 days. And it looked pretty closed up.

Well i guess i was my cycle. It over and im back to normal. Very minimal swelling. Im still taking it easy and always wear my compression garmet.

I had never felt the heavey ness in the front part. If it doesnt go away in the next couple days i am going to call my doc. I have been walking more so im thinking maybe that can cause more swelling as well..

Its crazy hu.. i thought ok maybe 5 lbs. But when i woke up and the doc said 10 and showed me pics. I went to shock.. im down 14 total. Since then

I believe the proper term is. belt lipectomy. Its like a tummy tuck but all around the body with muscle repairs. I only had that done dr didnt want to put me under to long. This took 4 hrs. And they removed 10 lbs of skin.

Wow u look awsome. Im about 3 weeks out of a body lift and as you my scars are really low. Which is great. My scars are very very minimal. I can only imagine how mine are gunna look in a couple years. I love it. Worth every pain and dollar.

Im almost 3 weeks out. Of a body lift and i dont feel numbness at all anywhere... is that normal?? My abdomen does feel kinda streches but i feel everything..

Oucch.. my dr said the back side was the most vulnerable.

How long after a body lift/ tummy tuck were you released to go back to the gym?

I had read some where here about the diffrent compression garment that are recommended or used. Im 2 weeks out and the binder i was givin is ok but i i only feel it tight in my hip area not so much my upper body. I havent gotten swollen but i do like the support it gives. I just want something a bit more tighter. If any one recommends any. Thanks.

Cheri_j was this for the tummy tuck or body lift?

Thank you so much. This binder they gave me is driving me nuts. And its so uncomfortable.

Im now almost 2 weeks and i feel great i walked the mall today. Not to uncomfortable. Just sat down every now n then.

I cannt wait to get back to the gym. And then i get up and the pain says sit your ass down.. lol
