12 Week PO Update
Hey ladies! Just a quick update and a photo. I'm feeling really good and at 100%.
I'm working out about 3-4 times a week for 45 minutes each and have stuck to very clean eating habits. I have lost about 8 lbs since my surgery (size 10 to 6 now) Ab exercises are still a little difficult but I'm repping up every ab workout. Burpees and planks are the hardest but I do them anyway. My left side hurts more than the right but subsides after a day.
My belly button is still not exactly what I I visioned and I'm waiting to see what's to happen by my Oct dr visit. Only thing I really want is that the stitch line no longer shows. I'm ok with the bubbles.
I'm still numb from belly button down to incision. I've read that it's normal to never regain feeling there and I'm okay with that. I'm rubbing vitamin E over my incision every other day and it looks really good. Very thin and lays really flat. I still have a minor dog ear on the right side so I rub it all the time.
Happy healing to you all !!

7 Week PO Follow Up Appt
Hey hey! Yesterday I had my follow up appointment and I am no longer under any restrictions. I can swim, run, lift weights, get my yoga on, and absolutely whatever.
My incision looks great and the staff were all shocked at how well I'm doing. The area that's taking the longest to heal is because there's a stitch there that hasn't pushed itself out. I passed on him digging it out and will wait until it works out on it's own. They could tell that I'm getting around as normal and better than most.
My belly button...my doctor wants me to continue putting a marble in there and wants to see if there's progress by my next appointment in October. He believes it will be fine and I trust him.
He also stated that I have a very very small dog ear on my right side which will go away on its own. I hadn't even noticed it.
My before pictures were printed and placed in my profile at the office and I was only able to get a black and white version which I don't think is worth posting. I'll try to sift through old pictures and find my big belly, which I seriously don't miss.
Happy recovery to you all and thanks to you ladies on your advice on my belly button.

Happy Beach Day!
My family and I went to the beach this morning and I had my big reveal to the public. I wore a bikini from about 6 years ago and felt really confident and good. I'm so use to pulling my tummy in that I forgot that I didn't have to anymore. I also was able to do about 15 minutes of yoga and 30 minutes walking before we left for the beach. I'm still feeling really good and so excited for progress.

I really liked his staff and his casual attitude. He was very confident with what he could do with my tummy. I felt very comfortable with his knowledge and experience. His practice seemed to be very private which I really appreciated.
