How much was the cost with Dr Hynes and what was the wait time between consult and surgery? How long did you wait to get a consult?
You look great and thanks for sharing
I would love to see some up to date pics and to know if you are still loving your results.

4 weeks post op
Seen the PS yesterday he said everything looks great. I have 2 little spots above pubic that are red and yellow he said they are stitches trying to come threw, he told me to make hot compress with salt to draw out. He said I could start exercising and try to wean off the binder. I was so excited yesterday I hugged him. I bought a bikini for the first time since I was a young teen.I'm so excited for the new me.

Post op 2week & 2days
I was sitting at home last Thursday wishing my drains were out and the PS phoned my house asking why I wasn't at my appointment, I thought it was for Friday so I got off the phone in a panic and found a ride. I was so mad because I wasn't prepared my hair was greasy, hadn't shaved and was in such a rush. I was pretty scarred for the drain to be removed but to be honest I didn't even feel a thing,the tape being taken off hurt more. He said everything looked good and that I could shower. It felt great everyday since than has gotten better, night time is when I'm the most uncomfortable back gets sore and I feel swollen. I still want to walk a little hunched over my stomach is very tight from the belly button to pubic area.
I'm not sure if anyone else feels the same but when I shower I dont feel safe I can't handle having my binder off unless I'm lying down.
Also I got my period on day 10 not fun I had the wort period cramps across my incision.

Hi Christy,
I know what you mean by the tight feeling between your belly button and your pubic area. I have that too so I am straight but not 100 percent straight. I just want to be able to stretch without feeling such tight soreness. I am right behind you in recovery I am two weeks and two days today! I also think for me it is a little fear of ripping something when I do fully extend my torso. Glad to hear your doing well!

You look awesome love your belly button looks very natural.Its very exciting to be able to wear a bikini.Congrats on the new belly you must feel great.
Do you have any more recent pictures of how your doing? How are you feeling?
I am going to get more pics up today. I am feeling great. The time flies by, soon you will be where I'm at and wont even remember your old belly. Honestly the worst part of the surgery is walking hunched my back killed, but it dosen't last long. Each week flies by and you feel better and better I would do it again in a heart beat.Can't wait to see your new belly you will look awesome.
Yes I know that showering the first few weeks after the surgery was really scary for me too. Just remember to take your time, dont rush and keep a stool or something in there if you need to sit and catch your breath. I used to get nervous washing my hair (at this point standing up) and lifting my arms up. I felt like I was gonna tear myself (even though I never did) and I could really feel my muscles. Regarding walking hunched over I think I was about 3 weeks until I really started walking normal again (even though PS at week 1 it was okay to walk straight) I swear I was wondering if I will ever be able to walk straight again LOL! Happy healing :-)
I can finally walk straight, feels great no more hunched back. I see a big change in your photos. I think you have a lot of swelling in some photos, I get the same way sometimes my stomach swells were I can't even see my incision.
Look at you!! WOW, you look so slender now!
How are you feeling these days? I know exactly what you mean about taking the binder off. I HATED taking it off. I felt weak and sometimes even nauseous. It felt like my insides were falling out and I would start to panic and sweat even LOL. So I took most of my 2-4 wk showers with hubby... it helped alot.
I promise that feeling goes away, but even 8wks PO, I still favour wearing my binder for a few hours each day.
