swelling has gone down...for now

Finally the swelling has gone down quite a bit where I can see my result somewhat. I'm pretty happy today with what I see although I know at about week 3 I will enter Swell hell as its called lol!

It is exciting as time passes to see how the final result looks. 

I STILL have random swelling, and my LBL was in November 2012....of course the surgeon warned it could be that way for a year.  The good news is it isn't bad enough to keep me out of my clothes, it is just a general "tightness" and "puffiness".

If I could stay looking like I do when I get up each morning I would be so happy but at the end of the day I am poochy and tight and generally ill with my body.  I hope the swelling doesn't stay for a year like Kim said, I would be sad.  BE GONE EVIL SWELLING BEAST!!!!
