38 Yr Old, Wide Diastisis Recti and Painful Umbilical Herni. Got Drain Less Tummy Tuck - Allen, TX

I am SO very happy with my TT! I can't believe how amazing the incision looks! Really flat, and it's healing into a nice small seam. It's gonna look great!! And best of all, I'm no longer in pain!!
If you're considering a PS in Dallas (he has an office in Allen too), go see my Dr. He's great! Explains well, answers my questions, no matter how silly I think it is and doesn't make me feel bad about it, great bedside manner. I highly recommend!!!

I feel great! Still swollen, but I've gotten the clear to get back to my barre classes (jumping for joy!). Yes, my abs are weak, but I know I'll get back to where I was before physically.

Would I do this again? Yes!

I stopped using the binder during the day, but I find I am swollen by the end of the day. Also, I'm getting some pain where my hernia used to be. It's off and on, like an achy feeling, but it'll subside after a few hours. Also, I'm concerned that my belly button is too small... I can't fit my pinky in it to clean it, i need a qtip.
The scar is healing wonderfully!! It's flattened and now it's a matter of the dark spots healing. I had blisters that appeared because of the binder rubbing my skin when I moved. My scars typically darken up before they lighten.
And my waist seems odd to me, the sides anyway. One dips in just perfectly on the side, the other is fairly straight from rib to hip. Hmm... I'll ask PS when I see him in 2 weeks.
Overall though, I'm very happy with the results! My belly is flat, yay! And no more hernia pain!!

I feel great! I started back at the gym, doing indoor cycling. Nothing heavy on the torq, because the incision feel a little weird as do all the little stitches inside my abs. I'm hoping that'll feel better with more time, it's only been 5 weeks afterall. I'm able to bend down and get up better, which is great because I've missed bath time with my 3 y/o. Sorry the pics are from almost a week ago, you can see my one hip and that ones seems to be sore still. Not fun. But overall, I'm very happy with the surgery. I've been able to walk upright since the day of surgery, and my incision is healing quite nicely.
