Hard to believe it's been 3 months since my procedure. At first time wasn't going fast enough, now I can't imagine where it's gone! Things have been a rollercoaster with life. My son graduated preschool, my boyfriend bought me a new car, and my mom was diagnosed with stage 2 lung cancer. Needless to say, my diet has been a bit off :/
I think I'm doing pretty well as far as healing goes. I do kinda have a little bit of a weird disconnection from my sides to my hips, but I'm guessing it's just swelling from the incision site and I'm being impatient. Today is another post op checkup, so I hope it goes well.

Things have been crazily busy in my life, and I'm thankful the healing process has gone along swimmingly. Yesterday I did my first big workout post op and it was great! I'm sore as can possibly be, but sooooo glad to get back into the swing of things :) here are pics from 4 and 5 weeks post op!

Dahlia, thank you SO MUCH for keeping us updated, you look fantastic!!!! Are you still wearing the CG garment? What is your pain level at on a daily basis and are you able to walk straight now? I'm hoping to see Dr. Moliver next month for a consultation so of course I'm watching your progress with great interest! Thanks again. Happy healing!

The thanks goes to you for being such an encouragement during this time! I really appreciate your kind words. As far as my garment, yes, I do wear it about half the time, especially when I feel bloated. My pain has been almost nothing for about 2 weeks now. Prior to that I had a random Thursday morning that I woke up to get ready for work and had a horrible stabbing pain under my ribs. I was seen by my surgeon's partner Dr. Roehl, but she was not able to see anything abnormal, so it was attributed to a possible muscle spasm or tear. Thank God for muscle relaxers! Lol. I am thankful to walk straight since about week 3-4, the tension on my lower back from walking hunched over was killing me! I go in for my 6 week check up today, and am excited to see what Dr. Moliver says. He does awesome work, you'll love him!
