WORTH IT$10,000
I feel pretty much back to normal. My scar looks great but a little red. I had laser therapy on it today to reduce redness. My dr includes in cost if needed. Other than being red my scar is very flat thin low and symmetrical. The laser was mostly painless, just a little burn. I have follow up in a month and they will do again if needed. Awesome thing is they also for free hit a red spot on my nose that has bothered me for years! So as far a recovery- I still wear CG 80% of the time, I can do anything as far as working out, exercise.... Baths and hot tubs are fine. So aside from a little swelling I am back to normal. Totally worth it! I need to start working out more and eat better. I would like to lose 10lbs.

5 weeks PO. My scar looks great so far. I started fancy scar cream and so far so good. It is very low and symmetrical and flat. My BB is still a little crusty. It is so hard not to pick at. I can't wait for it to be totally healed so I can go swimming, hot tub, bath...y swelling has not been bad the past 2 days. I actually almost feel normal. I started my workout bike today and feel so much better. I still want to lose 10-15 lbs. I need to start back on my normal lower carb diet. Can't wait to see how I am doing in 5 more weeks!

It's a hard place to be in isn't it 5 weeks! We feel good but not good enough to go full throttle! I can't wait to have a swim in my pool and to start exercising again. Are you still wearing a cg or binder?

I am just in spanky things. And sometimes I wear a pretty waist cincher. My dr told me I could throw away my binder when I got my drains out. Funny how all drs are different. I still wear my binder when I am feeling extra swollen.

Congratulations! I loved reading your log. It sounds like you are doing really well and happy! You mentioned having a c-section - one or two? I have had two c-sections. My scar is not as wide as yours - was your c-section scar smaller or about the same as your tt scar? I'm hoping the tt scar isn't wider than my c-section scar...

I had 2 csections and my original scar was only about 3 1/2 inches unless you get a mini tuck your scar will be as long as my new one. But so worth it.

I am a couple days shy of one month PO. I feel much better.. My clothes are starting to fit again and in the mornings I look awesome. It seems that no matter what or how much I do I get pretty swollen by the end of the day. Maybe I am doing more than I realize. Like today I worked from home- laying in bed typing but still by 5pm I was very swollen. I forgot though that I hard core cleaned the house for 1 1/2 hours this morning. Also I have lifted my 30lb 2 yr old countless times today to change her diaper... It is so hard not to over do it. I need to take some new pics. I am so happy with my scar. It is so symmetrical and low. I will have no trouble concealing it. My dr really did a great job. The belly button still looks pretty angry but I am not worried. I still rather show this angry red BB over my old flabby one. Any whoo I do not regret any of this and wish I had more money to do some more lifting and tucking. But all in all so far so great. Look forward to one more month of recovery.

I'm 2 weeks po and by the end of the end I'm pretty bloated feeling too and skin feels tight. Can't wait to work out and have some kind of intamacy with my husband. He's been so supportive.

I miss the intimacy with my husband too. I feel like roommates. Tonight we are going out for our anniversary and I hope to get a little closer;)
