Incision update
Now I am packing my open wound with a saline soaked gauze. You can a longer see the muscle it's actually not that deep anymore things are looking good
7 weeks post op update
Hey guys! I havent updated much because it's pretty much the same thing I still have the open incision it's finally healing a little bit. My doctor has been great with the following up. I have been seeing him every other week I go back on Monday. I will be heading to Disney on Wednesday which is grear but I not allowed to swim so I guess I'll just enjoy wearing a two-piece. I'm still going through lot of swelling but it's on and off I'm posting a picture here that it shows no swelling whatsoever and I was so happy but now it's like the swelling came two times worst. I was cleared to do some cardio. I can't wait to start lifting weights again and to start doing my squats and my lunges. Since I had lipo done on the lower back I still have a lot of swelling I can't wait to have my arch back but my back is coming along nicely. Hope all you ladies and gentlemen are doing well
Update and picture of incision
I went to the doctors Friday but there isn't enough skin to close up the incision so for now I just have to keep packing the wound with the gauze. He told me it will be several more weeks before it closes up so I guess I won't be swimming at Disney when we go in 3 weeks. I have another appointment on the 26 but I'm sure it is to check and make sure I get no infection. He suggested I use cocoa butter on the scar and belly button since I'm not allowed to use anything due to the open wound.
Provider Review
Dr. Alkon
The doctor has been great thus far. In the consultation he went over procedure as well as the end result and was not sugar coating anything which I really appreciated
