I'm still here! Nothing has really changed I seen my ps and he said to keep applying the tape to my scar for another 6 wks!! I'm allowed to go back to the gym but I have yet to do that! I'm still swollen & nothing fits not mention I think I've gained weight! I no longer use my oleeva scar strip on my belly button the thing never sticks and it aggervates me.

Thanks for you updates, I am having my surgery 18 th August fingers crossed all goes well
I really am glad I did it but it's definitely an emotional roller coaster! Love my belly but hate the swelling! You will do great!! Who is your dr?
I am 6 wks po, and still having issues with swelling too, I saw my PS today and he keeps reassuring me that it's normal. I'm just so over it.
Yeah I feel bigger than I was! I can't wait to not have to deal with it

When will it stop!?!

Swelling is still driving me crazy!! It has gone down a lot though! I now have a line down my belly that I never had before and look at them sides they curve in!! Yay :) unfortunately I'm so swollen in the lower part of my belly that my pre op pants still don't fit! So I had to spend money on pants for work that won't even fit much longer!! But it's worth it I can't wait for this swelling to go away completely

I hated mine to, but as it heels and swelling goes down it was much better so give it time :). Your looking great!!!!
Thanks! I'm ready to be normal again! Lol
you look good and you were tiny to begin with so I think the swelling is more noticeable to you, just give it some time. Your belly button scar will fade to nothing over time!
