WORTH IT
Scar thinning out very well on right side. Admittedly it's a little thicker on the left where I had those issues healing. There is some odd softness in the skin between the scars, around the tailbone but that's due to the empty area under the skin. I've gained about 8 lbs. post op that I need to get serious about.

The bruising has mostly faded. The seam on the right is looking excellent. Left still has that some open scabbing that is weeping a few spots a day and not resolved, about 3cm by 5mm.

The pain has subsided to a dull ache, although I get sharp jolts here and there, especially when sitting down into a car and push against the bolster.

Swelling settling down a little more. Able to fit a stretch 32" pant now, although it's tight and is sore by the end of the day.
Still weeping fluid from one spot on each hip, right by the hip bone (the tightest part of the skin). Not infected though and doctor confirmed on day 12 it's still okay. Just need to care for it longer.

You are a storm trooper. It sure looks painful. Congrats on a new beautiful body.

Thank you! This was only about 10% of the pain of tummy tuck, but it is still tiring. I have days where I just feel exhausted and tender by the end of the afternoon.
