I finally did it. I'm happy with the scar but scared because I'm so swollen. I was fine until day 6 during check up I took off girdle for a few hrs, till I got home. I regret that. I know swelling is normal but it feels scary. Had lipo on arms too. Otherwise I feel good and can't wait for recovery to be over. Drinking lots of water, and following docs order. Any suggestions? reassurances?
I apologize for the improper intro. I'm 45,...

It's 12 days Post-op; feeling better. I drove to the store. I can't wait to be able to pick up things off the floor. I can't wait to get back to my normal rountines. I realize every one's results vary. I'm happy but I won't be doing this again. Ready to grow old gracefully

Glad to hear you are doing well. Hang in there and be a good patient :)
My recovery is going as well as can be expected. Not too much swelling but get fatigued quickly and am short of breath. I think my tummy is so tight my diaphragm is still getting used to trying to expand!!! I also struggle with any turning movements because where the muscle has been repaired is quite tender. I usually would be exercising hard daily and at the moment a walk to the end of my street is exhausting! Everything is temporary though so I know it will get easier day by day- baby steps !
Keep your chin up and I bet that swelling will get better really soon :)
Ok checked out the site- {edited} then click on "road to recovery " the "marble trick" is listed here.

How are you doing with your recovery? Your pictures look good!
Yes I read the information about the marble too. I think it was on a website called {edited}. I think you need to be a bit further down the track after surgery to do it? I will check this info too.. Happy healing :)

So glad you're happy with your results. I'm 50, very active, and thin everywhere but my belly after 2 c-sections. I've been holding my tummy in for at last 21 years (my youngest son) and I'm tired of it. And after 40, even a 5lb weight gain goes straight to my belly. I hate it and I've excited to get rid of it. I know that everyone's pain tolerance is different and I'm hoping mine will be okay with the meds (and that they dont get me sick).
Enjoy your new bod :)
Apr. 4th will be here soon. Are you nervous, excited, have support?
It's natural to feel those feelings & good to have support.
That giggle in the middle is gone (Lol). After never having flat abs; I'm elated. I wish the best to you as well. Keep me posted.
