You look wonderful! Last night I measured my stomach and did find that it is an inch less around in the morning than at night. So I must be swollen. I am in the smallest pants I have but they are big so it is hard to tell.

I will say i was more swollen last week. Its gotten better but now its my TOM so i know I am bloated.

I think the numb area moved an inch or so lower but i am numb from 3 inches above my belly button to my incision. My sister had this surgery last march and she still has numbness.

I was lucky enough to recover I feel fairly quickly. I got my drains out on Day 4 and was given the clearance to start with the treadmill. My abs had a 2 " separation but i feel good. As soon as i could get out of the house and return to normal life my spirits lifted tremendously. Each journey is different. I am back at work this week feeling good.

I am 19 days post op and will say my breasts have been sorer than the tummy all along but I think that's because the tummy is fairly numb. I got itchy about 8-10 days out on my tummy incision. Felt better after the tape fell off. Off your pain meds is great!

I am 2 weeks post op and can tell you get up and down like you are doing squats. Everyday you will get stronger. By now i am walking 5 miles and dont feel pain getting up and down. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I would love to see another after pic...now that you are more healed.
