6 Weeks TT PO update No More Appts! - Rock Hill, SC

Yesterday was my last visit to the PS, well at least for awhile. Yaaaaay! Everything is healing well, I just have some redness around the scar (from band-aids, bandages, etc.) and they said to use hydrocortisone cream to help that go away. I am still wearing girdles/spanx even though PS I no longer had to, but I can't give those up just yet. Still numb around most of my stomach and belly button area and still feel the heavy feeling. I think the one good thing about that is that heavy feeling is making me eat less! So, yes, overall I am pleased with the results and am already feeling better about myself. I have been working from home but go back into the office in a few weeks and am wondering if the difference will be noticeable I wish I had decided to get lipo on hips and thighs because I feel they look a lot bigger since my stomach shrank, but hopefully that's something I can work on on my own. Updated pics are posted, I got a new camera so hopefully these look ok! Hope everyone is healing well!

Well I went to PS this week for my 4 week PO appt and had a bit of a set back. Somehow I managed to split my tt incision a little. So PS had to sew me back up and now I have to keep gauze on it and apply neosporin on it. And it hurts!! Was not taking anything but since the incision split, I've been taking some Aleve and that helps. Everything else looked great he said except for this one little spot. I wish I knew how I did that, so I don't do it again. Now I am back to weekly appts at the PS office. So far I have lost about 10lbs and can fit pretty comfortably into things I could not pre-surgery!

I know my photography is not the greatest especially with my phone, but I'm pretty sure I see a definite decrease in the swelling in the PO 19 pics I just posted. I also have a little redness/irritation around the scar mostly in the mound area. I'm hoping that's just from CG rubbing on it some. Yesterday and today for some reason, a little bit of pain has returned. I think I may have been bending down and reaching too much so I am parking myself on the couch today. I just hope I did not mess up any of the MR that was done. Have my next appt on 7/16. I'm back to being uncomfortable when trying to sleep at night. I'm just not used to sleeping on my back and cannot sleep on my side just yet. Tylenol PM seems to take forever to work. Still, so far, pleased with results!
