Here's my week 2 pic. As you can see my right side is starting to take shape but my left has an enormous amount of swelling. My scar seems to be coming along well but this garment is getting on my nerves. There are times when I want to rip it off and just go scratch crazy on my belly. Also, the top of my vajay jay is extremely swollen and hard. From what I've read on this site it seems to be normal but I'm gonna call the doc just to make sure. Oh yea can anyone please tell me when I'll be able to sleep normally on my bed? I've been sleeping on my recliner and tried to sleep on my bed but after 2 hours I had to go back to the recliner. Any suggestions?

Hey Mrs Tree. You look so wonderful! I'm having my TT with Dr Soto on April 4. Did you ever feel like you had any problems breathing from the tightness or swelling? I look forward to hearing from you and hope everything is going great.

Hello banks and TRSmiles, thank you for the compliment, I feel great. TRsmiles, as far as the soreness not really. Only when I sneeze does my stomach get sore and even then its only for a few minutes.

Hi Longhorn, um its funny you ask that because I was just telling myself that it seems that I can breath way better with the garment on than without it. Without it it feels as if I have to learn how to breath again. There's a love hate relationship going on between my garment and I. Good luck on the 4th, I can't wait to hear and see your progress.

Thanks for the reply. I guess what I'm asking is was there ever a time when you felt like you couldn't get enough air.

Longhorn, I think I undestand your questions and yes like I said above when I have the garment on I can breath great (I guess because everything is being held in place with the garment) but when I take it off to take a shower is when I have a hard time breathing (I think because when you take it off everything is still loose and healing so it all separates) and it feels as if I have to teach myself how to breath like when I breath in let my belly expand and when i breath out pull my belly in... When I take the garment off I do the exact opposite. Also, I find it a little diffcult to take deep breaths without the garment.
