My 9 weeks post op
By prissy1 on 21 Mar 2011
Hi ladies!! I've missed you all, been really busy with my new job. I'm feeling great, swelling is finally down to a min, I still get "swell hell" on those rare days I do a lot of running around but it gets better each week, I haven't worn spanks at all the last two weeks, I still sometimes wear my compression garment to bed though. My incision is healing nicely, still a little dark in some spots, I am using a combination of Timanu oil and Mederma. The only drawback is 2 days ago, I started noticing a raised portion on the side of my belly button..looks like there is a partial keloid..I am praying it flattens, but I know with african american skin we are susceptible to them. I hope everyone is doing well and recovering well!

Hi Prissy,
I have missed you:) Glad to hear you are doing well and healing up nicely! Your tummy looks great.
Where have the weeks gone? Seems like you were just out of surgery yesterday.
Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing each month.
Swelling has certainly been hell this week, I have to keep reminding myself that I am only 10 weeks post op, lol I've taken to sleeping in my garment this week, I know I need to up my water intake, I'm so bad about water when I'm at work!
How are you? Oh, I'm thinking of going back under the knife to have my boobs lifted :)
You tummy looks great. I wish you God's speed as you continue your healing process.
It sounds like you're recovering nicely. Keep up the good work, and check in when you can.
Hi Prissy,
I am sorry you are going through this swell hell:( It is a pain in the tush but shall pass.
Your scar has healed really well, and your tummy looks fantastic. I really can't wait now...6 days to go :)
You look great! I noticed in a post a while ago that you mentioned unevenness? Has that resolved itself? I am 6 weeks post op, and just wondering if yours did resolve over time...
