Still having good/bad days. But the results are worth it. It's just the swelling that messes with my mind. Seeing the swelling freaks me out. And I feel that the pooch will come back.

I hear you about being scared our tummies will come back. I'm feeling the same way!
That is my concern too! I gained 3 lbs and I am freaking out because I have to suck in my stomache towards the top for it to be super flat! I am starting to get paranoid... I am watching what I am eating and back to drinking tons of water! You look amazing!
You look GREAT.
you look wonderful, congrats xx
looking forward to following your journey - please keep posting pics so helpful

Maybe just spitting some stitches?? Did not experience but many do. Call your doc in the am, don't panic yet.
I'm not sure that an infection. The skin around the incision would be red, hot, hard and very painful. Maybe it is? It looks like some ejected sutures. I would just put some Neosporin on those areas tonight and go see your PS tomorrow for his opinion. Even if it's infected it can be treated. Did you mean to change your review to "not worth it"?
Still worth it!!!!!!!!! It has to heal one way or another right? Just gotta heal one day at a time and stop over analyzing things. Love the flat tummy!!
You look great! BTW, your review still says not worth it.

Please get into the doctor ASAP!

I would go to the dr, better to be safe than sorry. :)
I have two small spots where scabs fell and they look just like that, yellowish, but they are dry, nothing comes out, still reddish around those parts. His nurse told me that as long as there's nothing coming out, it should be healing properly. I would call them to make sure.
