It's just the other arm actually lol, the first photo was taken outward facing by a nurse, and the second photo is a "selfie" facing picture ? but I did lose most of my lower back tattoo in this process!

Here's my first before and after photo. Other areas qill take more time. I can't stand nearly straight enough to give an idea of the abdomen, it's it very very tight!

Thanks. I just went back to work this week and I'm moving a lot more than I had been and I realized today that it seems to be going away, slightly. The area of the small of my back seems to be less.

I can't go near my mons! I'll go through the roof! It's so swollen.....

I know exactly the wooden butt cheek feeling you are describing! I'm 5 months out and it's no longer there in relation to the way that clothes sit on me but I still feel numb when I touch my upper hip/butt. I had two c-sections and was very numb after both so I anticipated this and now it's not bothering me. My lower stomach is still completely numb as well as one very small piece of my mons.

Hey guys!! I made it!

Dr. Capella and Scott did a great job. I was super comfortable and happy with them through this whole process.

I am still in the hospital. I was supposed to leave today, but I really couldn't move or operate and was still in too much pain.

Dr Capella came to see me, and said everything looks good. They removed a whopping 12 pounds!

I know this is a ****ty picture, but it's the best I have for now. My legs are already remarkably smaller! Thanks for all your support guys and I'll check in again soon.
