I had my second post-op appointment today and i have another 2 weeks with the binder and no exercise, besides walking, until then too. After that, I can let have (lightly) on my elliptical. I have been dying to get on it because I am up about 5 pounds *grrrr* However, my result still looks good to me; well, anything than that flap looks good to me- I don't ask for much LOL!!! Work hasn't been too bad... no major issues at all- just cruising through recovery. No pain, just a bit of numbness... My incision is looking good too.. the "puckering" from the sides where the stitches start and stop are starting to smooth out, which means they are dissolving... and we're one step closer to the full effect.

I will officially come Friday- be 1 month post op... YEESH that went quick! Happy healing to everyone... oh Yes, I'd do it all again in a heart beat.

Ok. I have not posted any before pictures yet! It is not going to be pretty. LOL!! Did you have lipo to your back as well? I have top and bottom flanks and my doctor told me he didnt' think he would be able to do much about the top flanks. Yours look good.

Wonderful progress. Don't fret the 5 lbs. it's hard when you aren't as mobile. I'm up and down on weight right now too and am 3 weeks post op!

I went back to work yesterday and it wasn't too bad. Today is day 2 so we'll see how it goes. Otherwise, my newest experience is slight "itchiness" at the ends of the incisions. Which let's me know the nerves are waking up and healing is going on.. It's not terrible, but occasional. So my best defense is ensuring that I keep it VERY clean and "neosporin'ed" up. My scar for the most part is softening and healing nicely. At this point I am about 2 amd a half weeks post op. i can't wait to see what it's looking like down the line. How is everyone else healing up?
