  • Posted to 5.5 months post op (22 weeks today)...feeling the flattest I have been so far on 24 May 2013

    I have to say that one thing I am glad of, activity does not make me swell worse. I ran 10 miles last weekend and was less swollen after than before. Was at the beach all day Monday playing frisbee and running around in the water and came home less swollen too. Sitting around is what makes me swell, which I guess is good since my personality is so go-go-go. Still so undecided how I feel about the crease....and some days it looks better than others. It constantly changes.

    Thank you! And I will continue to update for sure, I know from the messages I have gotten that there are more people in my situation than it appears just based on the reviews, so I want them to have something to relate to and hopefully give them some hope that things can improve.

    Thanks! Its been a loooong roller coaster ride, that's for sure. Hopefully the worst is over now, finally.

    Thanks so much! I'm sure your just still swollen, I still can't even believe how long it can last for some of us - even after going through it. I bought the cutest, most awesome bikini ever and actually wore it to the beach recently. So I admit, that was the first "fun" I had with this whole thing. After 5.5 months of stress, worrying, disappointment, etc. - it was really nice!

    Thanks, I think the scar only bothers me because I will have to explain it to any future relationships. Its not just how it looks, its the potential conversation that I am dreading the most. I used a silicone scar cream for about 3 months religiously. It might have made some difference, but its so expensive, so I'm taking a break. Maderma made me very itchy (its made with onions, I think I might have a slight allergy)
