I am 7 weeks po today, I saw my ps on Wed and was cleared for scar therapy. My ps gave me silicone scar sheets to use 24 hours a day except working out and showering. It's only been 2 days but I feel like my scar is getting darker. Has anyone else felt this way? I will give it a few weeks before I pass judgement, just wondering if anyone else has had this happen.

Today is 6 weeks, I am so happy with my decision to have this done!! Everything is going well I am my scar is healing nicley, the drain holes are finely healing not crazy about how they are scarring but I will give it time. I can't wait to rock a bikini in Mexico this Feb!! I never thought I would wear one again. I still am still swollen alittle seems to have gotten a little better around the 5 week mark. But I exercised for the 1st time yesterday and I was swollen a little more the usual this morning. I am really dying to get back to my normal exercise routine and running. I just want to tone these flabby thighs before my trip!! I included some new pic I took today so I am a little swollen. I really hope my final results are the way I looked 1st week, my stomach was so flat it was awesome. I know patience!!!
Good luck to all you TTers!!

Well here goes nothing!!! I go back to work today, it's been 18 days since my TT. Yesterday I had to get fluid drained from tummy, I it sounds barbaric but it didn't hurt at all. They stick a needle in your tummy and drain out fluid. My stomach had a waterbed like motion to it prior to getting drained. I am a hairstylist so I am very nervous about being on my feet for 9 hours today. I am very busy, scheduled very tight today, so say a little prayer for me!! I feel pretty good but get tired and achy at night just on a normal day not doing much. I still get tight and hunched over toward the evening, so today is going to be "fun"!
