6 Weeks TT PO update No More Appts! - Rock Hill, SC

Can't believe it has been 3 months since the surgery! Anyone notice their scar is darker now than it was in the beginning? Just was wondering if that was normal. Are you all still wearing your cg or girdles? Hope everyone is doing well!

Hey Rdy, I am just a day behind you PO and am experiencing the same. My PS also said I could also skip the garment/girdle, but I have grown attached to it (funny I used to despise these things.) I think it really does help ease the heavy feeling. The only times I have not worn some kind of garment is in the shower or for my pics ;) I think I'll probably continue to wear it until the swelling/numbness goes away which I've heard can take about 6 months. Uggh. Anyone else still afraid to cough or sneeze!?

I am 4 weeks PO and was just wondering what kind (if any) excersing you ladies were doing now esp those around the 4 week PO mark. My PS has okayed light excerise, but I'm so nervous to get back into a routine, I don't want to split anything open (again!) or cause any more swelling. I used to walk a lot but, currently I just walk around the house and when I go out for errands. I know its important to get back into a routine. Was just curious what you all were doing and what you did to get started. Thanks!

I'd be interested to hear about the bb fuse thing. I have not had anything in my bb and that sounds scary. I am at PO day 21 today. Maybe it means it will close up? I'll definitley be asking my PS about that when I see him on Monday! I have a job interview Tuesday and am even more nervous about it as I have not really gone anywhere since having TT done. I have no idea what to wear either. I don't really want to buy anything new just yet and at the same time I think the clothes I do have now may be a little baggy on me. Decisions, decisions! Hope everyone is healing well and taking it easy!

50 I went to check your progress and was gonna ask you how your swelling was going, then I saw your title! I could not agree more-Yuck!! For some reason I was hoping the swelling would mysteriously disappear after 2 weeks! It feels I am going to pop. You look great tho! I bet you are happy to have those drains out! Is your stomach and pubic area really hard? I hope that's normal.
