Ok ... so almost a month post op. Getting stronger...
ok ... so almost a month post op. Getting stronger everyday :) no real swelling issue except on my pubic bone area, I have a doctor appointment this week so i will ask. My scar is healing great, other than itching all last week, I have to say its not so bad. My family has been fantastic, my husband is a rock star!! i will swell if i do way too much, so i try to take it easy. I still feel really disconnected when i look at my belly, i dont recognize any of it..I do think PS left some fat on my hips that should have been taken off, but i did say i wanted curves since i never had them before...lol b careful what u ask for huh!
I was pregnant at 19 with twins....over six pounds...
I was pregnant at 19 with twins....over six pounds each!My belly button ceased to exist after that!! My stretch marks look like a Topigraphical map of some strange land. I had two more single births (c sections) and that was that...ugly belly syndrome. I am 41 now, a house wife with a busy life. I find time to work out 4-5 times a week for approx a year now...seeing great results except for the dreaded tummy area. I have wanted a cute flat tummy and sexy belly button for over 20 years....and now my loving husband is making my dream a reality. I am so excited and nervous and feeling a little guilty. This is an aweful lot of dough to spend on vanity...but the deposit has been paid...pre op appt on the 29th of November. Surgery is scheduled on the 12th of December....and time is moving s..l..o..w...

Spending all weekend at a cheer competion with my daughter... that is a good thing. Maybe it will ease the pain of me missing her band concert on the 13th. I feel really bad about that. I still have alot of Christmas stuff to do, I guess I will cyber shop the rest of the gifts.

Thank god for an adjustable bed I don't know how I could have made it with just pillows. My breathing has gotten So so so much better. It was hard for me the first day to catch my breath. The MR is so tight I guess. I did bend the "wrong" way last night reaching for my phone and the pain was un bearable I hope I didn't mess up anything. Tues is PS appt we will see how I'm doing. One odd note is my eyes. I can see letters close up. Can't really focus on anything close up. Weird huh. Hopefully is just a med side effect.
