Finally: So Excited - Canton, OH

I don't really have any. Very rarely if I really over do things I might see a small bit of swelling but it goes away quickly.

I am feeling pretty good. Mostly back to normal. I still have some occassional muscle soreness and still a little swelling from time to time. I don't usually wear a binder or compression garment unless it's after doing some kind of exercise and I'm trying to cut down on the swelling. Yesterday I ran/walked 4.7 miles and felt great. I'm in MOST of my pre-op clothes. The stuff that was snug before still seems a little snug but I figure that will be better with time. I plan to start this week with normal ab/body workouts.

Good luck Friday! You'll be fine. I was pleasantly surprised with how smoothly things went. The first 2 weeks were the "ouchiest" but not bad. Just uncomfortable. I went back to work on PO day 7.

I've been thinking about you! How have you been feeling? How as the beach in your bikini?

I'm not sure why so many people try to talk folks out of a mini. Unless you've had a mini and was unhappy and had to go back for a full, I'm not sure what knowledge they have to base that on. I think a lot of folks mistakenly believe that you can't get muscle repair with a mini. I had my muscles repaired above and below my belly button. You will LOVE your results!

Thank you! It's a work in progress. I'm excited to get the swelling over and start working out to enhance the results. I wore running/exercise pants and shorts for the first 2 weeks straight. I went back to work on PO Day #7. I wore loose fitting sundresses that first week back. It was too uncomfortable to have a tight waistband on around the binder and try to sit upright in an office chair all day. By week 3 I am able to wear most of my clothes I was wearing before. (with the exception of things that were tight/snug before surgery).

You'll have great results with a mini! Are you have muscle repair as well?
