3 months post op

I just saw my PS yesterday and things are going well. After 3 mos I feel totally 100%. I hiked for a couple hours Sunday, I'm walking, and can even do ab exercises now with no pain. The only lingering thing is some numbness on the front of my stomach still, but I don't mind it much. My scar is slowly fading. In the end I'm thrilled with my results. I look drastically different than I did before surgery!! I do want a flatter appearance, but I'm going to need to put some work into that myself.

I uploaded some pics of bikinis I bought last weekend. I'm like a kid in a candy store, going crazy buying suits. I used to dread it so bad, and now it's fun!! Hope all my fellow Feb. TTers are doing well also.

I've had somewhat of a setback the past couple...

I've had somewhat of a setback the past couple weeks because I'm not as flat as I was the first 4 wks. I assumed it was swelling, but after a visit to my PS a couple days ago he said I have very little to no swelling. That was somewhat devastating initially, but overall I'm still very happy with my results before surgery vs. now.

My PS theorizes that my lordosis (exaggerated curve of lower spine) and intrabdominal fat have contributed to some relaxation of the abdomen. But I can still enhance it by diet and exercise. Plus even though he says I have no swelling, I really feel like I do. I wake up a little flatter some days, and I am bigger after a lot of time on my feet or a big sodium packed meal. So to me that's proof of some amount of swelling even if its small. Anyhow he is wonderful, I think he everything in his power to get me flat and looking better. His bedside manner is above and beyond and I don't doubt his skill. He reiterated many times that the muscle repair is very tight and that its held up, so I need to work too, in order to get it to where I want. My turn!

I haven't posted in quite awhile due to this hump I had to get over. But in the end I'd do it all again, and I can't even count how many people tell me DAILY that I look thinner, that I look great, that I must be working out...it's obviously been a huge improvement. I'll check in again soon!

I'm uploading pics, so you can see how I appeared flatter the first onto vs. now. But I'm STILL gonna rock a bikini this summer ;-)
