7 weeks po

I feel pretty much normal at 7 weeks po. I walk 1 hr a day and do routine house chores. My tummy doesn't hurt but just swells a lot at night. My incision spitted some stitches and was inflamed a couple of weeks ago. I first cut it off then I left it alone and rubbed bio oil on it. Now it is fine and healing nicely.
I feel really tight and uncomfortable after eating too much.
My muscle repair still hurts when I am too active or hold my 23 pound baby.
I kinda don't like my belly button cuz it looks too big and protruding. But honestly I am very happy with the result and would never regret this procedure.
I try to massage my tummy area 2 times a day and 2 minutes each.
Happy healing everyone!

incision stitch spitting out at almost 6 weeks.

I found 2 days ago there was a little stitch coming out from my incision. I cut it off and now that spot turns red. it doesn't hurt but I am worried that it will turn out an infection. I left the U.S last week and live in a country where doesn't have good and trustful doctors.
any one has experienced this? thanks

1 month po

Yahooooo! 1 month already. I can stand up straight about 90% to 95% without fear but still hunch around the afternoon due to swelling. My hips are still very swollen and hurt sometimes due to the lipo. I have used Mederma scar gel and cocoa butter skin therapy oil on my tummy, belly button and incision which are very soothing. I rub them on about 2 to 3 times a day. I just ordered silicon strips scar away via amazon and will try them next week
I still sleep with some pillows around and haven't slept on my tummy yet.
My tummy and the area below belly button are bigger and more swollen toward the end of day. The area below bb hurts quite a bit if I am too active. For example, I went shopping about 5 hrs and walked slowly without a rest which caused more swelling and painful
I am coming to see my dr today cuz I found out there was a stitch thread still in my belly button then I will go to the airport to fly home
My dr said I could not lift or carry anything over 15 - 20 pounds until 2 months po
I really love the result and would not regret! I am coming home so really hope there will be no complications .
Happy healing, everyone!

I found him here in RS and started looking him up then pleased with all my researches on him. I emailed him a few times and told him about my overseas circumstances then he suggested 1month rest after the surgery before flying back home and can't pick up anything more than 15 - 20 pounds until 2month post op. Very nice that he responded very quickly and precise via email. I am very glad with dr Hall. He is the best dr. So Caring! He did come to his office around 7 pm to check on me cuz I was so nervous that I couldn't wait the next morning.
