WORTH IT$6,301
Im 6 weeks post op. And feeling good I am sleeping on my side and doing pretty much everything I use to do except any lifting. I still haven't started the silicone strips my doc says I can start next week and I cant wait because my scar is way dark. Im happy I did this even though I had a scare with that staph infection that had me hospitalized and on bed rest for a week. I have lost 8lbs and Id like to loose 6 more. But if I don't I'm fine staying at the weight I am now which is 141.

Hi, we had our procedures on the same day. I've been wearing my CG 24/7 until last night when I slept for the first time without anything. Since I didn't notice any more swelling in the morning I'm going to keep it off at night from now on but continue to wear it during the day until bed. I don't go back to my doctor for a couple of weeks...how much longer is your doctor saying you have to wear yours? Mine hasn't said :(

Last time I saw him which was almost 2 wks ago he said to continue using it. He never said use it at night but I'm surprising he wants me to use it 24/7. I have been seeing him every two wks. But last time I saw him he said in a month. Did you have a drainless tummytuck?
January 28, 2014
I had 2 drains. He didn't tell me I could go without it at night, I just did because I was so tired of being so uncomfortable. I'm praying when I go back he tells me I can be done with the CG. When I see him again I will be around the 8 week mark so surely not much longer wearing it :(

Hi Darlene and Kygirl, I had my surgery the same day as you both ! And I still wear my CG 24 hours a day. I dont go back to see him untill Feb 18th now....and when I saw him the other day he didnt even mention it. With the swelling I still have, actually worse then before, I cant imagine not wearing it. But hmmmm, I may have to try leaving it off for a night and see how it feels. kygirl, did you like sleeping without it ?

Hi DJW. I do like sleeping without it. It was kind of weird at first though. Haha, I used to look at your pics all the time to compare my swelling and healing because I thought we had a similiar before tummy and I have a small crease at the bottom of my belly button whereas yours is at the top. Mine has gotten a little better since I started sleeping without the CG so I have hope it won't be there forever. I'm sorry about your swelling but on the other hand I am glad I am not alone because frankly it worries me constantly and sometimes I feel like it will never end. I think you look great by the way :)

So its been almost 5 weeks now and I don't feel any pain Im heeling well but I still feel sore after sitting at my desk for awhile then getting up and I can sleep on my side. My doc says I can start the silicone strips next month I cant wait because the middle of the incision is pretty clear but the sides not so much. I sneezed about 2 weeks ago and heard something pop but I checked everything looked okay and I wasn't in pain so I didn't make a big deal about it. For now Ill take it easy in late Feb. I will start working out and will finally be able to pick up my toddler, I have missed that. :)
