Week 3 post op tomorrow. Well, no sernoma. That was a relief. I'm doing so well so far that my ps doesn't want to see me for 4 weeks. I return to work in a few days. I'm a little nervous to see how that's going to go. I will post more pictures soon. The swelling is improving. Slowly, but surely.

Thanks for the post!! You are looking great! We are at the same point of our recoveries so I know we can understand exactly what we are going through!! I do have some swelling but not too bad just maily on my lower ab above the incision to my pubic area. How bad is your swelling? Does your incision area hurt if you press down on the skin surronding it? My is like a stinging feeling , I am sure its the nerves trying to heal but just feels weird. Well I hope your doing well and keep me updated!!

My swelling feels really bad, but it must not be that bad. I'm fitting into a lot of my pre op clothes. My pre op size was a 4. I just bought new shorts in a size four and I had to return them for a size two because I could stick both my arms down the front of my shorts. I think that's pretty neat. My plastic surgeon told my husband that extra skin was my problem, not fat. I guess my concern is that my tummy doesn't look flat like every one else. I swell worse at night. I just started back to work and 12 hour shifts are brutal when it comes to swelling. Yes, my incision hurts if I press down on it. The area surrounding my incision is a little tender too. I try not to think too much about all this because if I do it will consume me and I can't let that happen. Thank you for responding. It means a lot to me to be able to converse with someone who is exactly where I am. Take care.

How are you doing? I am about to go through a mommy makeover and I am nervous. I was wondering if you have any advice for me that you wish you knew before your procedure.

I am doing fantastic! I need to change my status to so worth it. I'm 7 weeks post op and I'm fitting in all my clothes with room. I was a size 4 before surgery. I had to buy new shirts and I bought size 2 with some room.

Let's see... Before surgery I wished I would have relaxed a little because I was so nervous. Lol

You will experience an emotional rollercoaster, but try to put it in perspective. It's the best thing that i've ever done for myself! You will look amazing and do just fine when all of this is over.

I just added another photo just for you. It's kind of blurry. First time in a bikini since I was 18... lol

My surgery was about eight hours as well. My PS told me that he could not perform these surgeries any faster without short cutting and jepordizing the outcome of my procedures. Each plastic surgeon is different, but my PS took his time. I thought my procedure was long compared to everyone else.

Good luck and keep me posted.

Thank you for posting your bikini pic! You look amazing!!!

My ps is like yours in that he feels the time is needed in surgery.

I couldn't sleep last night, thinking of everything over and over - ha ha!!! I am excited and scared at the same time.. :)

Enjoy the beautiful weather we're having!
