6 Week Post Op Pic and my magical underwear

Ok so this oic was supposed to post with the other one--- aside from that someone asked what kind of compression I wear if any- yes, yes I do and so should you! Just my opinion but if you're gonna spend alllllll this money I think it's worth the extra time bundled up ;) I know my body feels and looks better because of it- I am wrapped almost 24/7 in either these underwear or in my binder at night.

6 Week Anniversary gift-- 'spitting a stitch'....

I hit 6 weeks today... I hear a choir of angels singing!! The last 2 days I have really noticed a change in my shape or maybe it's a mental change--- I really feel for the first time in 12+ years that I like what I see. No longer trapped behind the tummy.
I was a brave girl and changed my own tape this week- I even scraped off the old glue left behind from the past 6 weeks. It really isn't that bad; made it much easier for me to stomach since it's all flat and there's no texture along the incision EXCEPT for smack dab in the center as I was cleaning I felt a sharp poke and realized there was something sticking out of my skin!! AGHHHH! I was just feeling so comfortable looking at all of it and then to see that was a shock - so I did what came to mind first..,Tape that sucker back up! Haha! I called the nurse and she had me come in to the office. Turns out it was a piece of suture that didn't get pulled out (prob at the 1 week appt). The knot was cut off but this piece didn't come out- guess my body got rid of it:)
It seriously was like 4 mm long! Haha! If I had just played with it a second longer it probably would have fallen out on its own ;) I was taped back up and sent on my merry way- I won't be going back until the end of June for a checkup. I have chosen to use Mepitac tape for as long as the roll will last and then I will switch to the cream my PS recommended. :) I love my Dr. and his staff!!!!
