WORTH IT$4,000
9 weeks post-op and still some swelling especially above the incision line and also mid-section. I do feel a lot better feeling more normal except for times when I feel like my abdomen is cramping.
I do notice that at night or during sleep, that's when I feel like my tummy is tensed- not sure why but every night I go through that feeling.
I love how I look when I get up in the AM, tummy's flat but as soon as the day progresses that's when the swelling kicks-in. Although it isnt as bad as my first 8 weeks, I could wear tight fitting dresses now without getting conscious that i have a swollen belly.
I still continue with my natural supplements but have minimized my arnica and trumeel.
approximately 5 weeks using my silicone sheet and will continue until I am fully satisfied with the result
I will be starting my gym and exercise since I know for a fact that I have gained weight due to minimal activity or should I say inactivity.
Next post and photos 12 weeks Post-Op

You look awesome! Your scar looks awesome too! I can't get a good photo of it with my phone. It doesn't show the true color. I still have a purplish border that looks like my stretch marks were restretched. Yours looks like a thin line a no color.

My phone does that too. Depending on the angle the scar looks either invisible or angry red. I wont post them unless it looks the way i see it. My borders are getting thinner and more pink, less purple/red. I am using Mederma advanced.

6 Weeks Post-Op
Not much change from 5 weeks Post-Op. Recovery is on its way. I still continue with my natural meds to minimize swelling and also help with the healing and recovery. My scar is looking okay with the help of the silicone sheet, just noticing that the swelling still continues and that I guess causes me to feel low. The duration of the recovery is taking its toll on me, Im not feeling remotely close to being normal but it is expected I know it mentally but I guess my feelings are just taking over :(

Hey momma! Dont feel low! You made the right choice and things will get better with time! Are you wearing compression still? I just got the ok to take it off. Lots more swelling! Shocking even though i KNEW it was going to happen!

I can deal with the amount of swelling I get. At its worst I just stand up straighter and suck it in. I can tell when the swelling kicks in. I get a funny tingling feeling. My back still gets sore if I have a busy day. I need to get into a daily stretching routine. Still couldn't have got better results. Very happy!

5 Weeks Post-Op
Finally starting to feel more normal now. Each day is definitely better than the previous. I still continue to take all my natural supplements and have added curcumin to my concoction. I will try another natural home remedy to minimize swelling. 2 glasses of corriander mixture and 2 glasses of barley mixture. Will see how that works.
I am happy that my swelling isnt that bad and have noticed that the more I use my compression garment or binder the more I swell.
I have resumed my self lympathic massage and have noticed that it has also helped with the swelling.
BTW, curcumin does help with the bloating :)
Finally my delayed wound has healed completely, Thanks to Aquacel Hydrofiber wound dressing. Wonderful product!
I am on my 9th day using the silicone sheet and from photos I took, I think my scars look pretty okay.
Will be posting again 6 weeks Post-Op
