37 Weeks Post op Update
Basically I got on with the normal routine of life almost forgetting that I had a TT operation. I wore my binder on days I do my workout because I do still swell up a bit at the end of the day, especially on days I do my workouts. My scar is still healing. It hardened up a bit and had become a little "hump". I'll admit that I did not baby it with creams and lotion which probably should to soften it a little.
When I touch my tummy, I still have this funny feeling of numbness around the scar area. I'm not sure if the numbness will completely go away but I'm not too bothered by it.
If you look at my photos carefully you might notice a little bump at the belly button area. That was where my protrusion was the most serious pre-op. Its like my organs are still pressing out in that area. I also believe that its due to my posture. I slouch alot at my desk and that probably contributed to the organs pushing against that part of my tummy.
Despite these little imperfection, I feel I'm way better than I was before my operation and still grateful to have done it.

Provider Review
First and foremost, I prefer to see a lady doctor because I feel more comfortable doing so. Secondly, Dr. Susan Pike has this very gentle and calm way about her that makes me feel safe and relaxed during my consultation. I felt safe to ask questions that I would not normally ask just because they sounded so unintelligent to me at that time (LOL!!). I felt safe to raise my concerns to her about what I really don't like about my body. She took the time to listen and examine me and gave me her opinion of what needs and need not be done for my case. In our discussion she came across as very confident and enthusiastic, that she knows what she can do to bring me to my goal and I have nothing to be worried or concerned about. Overall, I'm very pleased with how things are progressing so far.
