Tummy Tuck July 1st - Trenton, NJ

Hi SpeedRacer,
I am about 2 1/2 weeks post TT. What type of stage 2 garment would you suggest? My PS told me to stick with my ztage two for the remainder of my healing (8 weeks). I am not fond of it though, the zippers and velcro are starting to bug me,

Wow you look great!

NicoleNY,
I think you really look good considering the intial stuff you endured. And your belly button healed nicely.
Are you trying the silicone strip to thin out the scar? You have come a long way!

Oh thanks so much Kimmers25! I am really enjoying my new belly. I must say though, I really have to pace myself when eating. I can eat only about 1/4 of what I used to eat or else I'm a mess laying on the couch feeling sick!

I am resting and forcing myself to take it easy. I feel great but don't want to over do it.

My surgeon says I can start with Mederma next week. Do you have any other scar therapy suggestions that I can inquire about? He used skin glue, no tape or anything. Also, I may have to have stiches taken out of my new inny belly button. Freaks me out a bit. As a former outty girl, I just don't know what is going on in there and don't want to have Drs poking around in there. :( Will it hurt? :(

I am doing great. Although I just ate a big meal for dinner and now I am uncomfortable. I didn't average for diaphragm space and all. :)
ANyway, my boys are 5 and 2 years old. It has been interesting on my own these two days with them, but my 5 year old is a really big help.
The drains came out today (6days post)!!! When did your come out? I can't wait until this all passes.
What conpression garment are you wearing? Do you plan to switch to spanx?
