Jachut 487 Posted April 11, 2012 Is it continuing to change Tammy? I cant believe how much swelling there really is, it LOOKS flat but a day or two later it'll lose a bit of the swelling and I'll think whoa, that was HUGE two days ago. It takes soooooooooo long to see the real effect of this surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It takes soooooooooo long to see the real effect of this surgery. Jachut, I was lucky because I didn't have a lot of swelling. I am not sure why some swell alot while others don't. I drank pineapple juice which is supposed to reduce inflammation and I also took Bromelain which is the enzyme found in pineapples. Wear your compression garment 'round the clock to keep the swelling down. Also your daily activity affects how much you swell, but don't worry the swelling will get better it just takes time....up to 6 months for some people but it will go away.

Fab Karen 0 Posted April 18, 2012 Tammyj I think your pics are amazing I am in the process of researching for a surgeon now my Lapband doctor did refer me to a colleuge of his a Dr. Rose in Freehold NJ. I had my surgery Oct. 29, 2010 and so far I love the way I am looking but my stomach looks just like your before pic I hate it. I am still working out I started at 245lbs and I am down to 191lbs my goal is 175lbs most people think I am smaller even though I finally have gotten into a pair of True Religon Jeans and women's not men. But for a woman of color I thought your surgeon did really well. Keep up the good work. Fab Karen Fab Karen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
