4 weeks today! Feeling back to normal and was cleared to start elliptical machine today which went well-- took it easy and felt great. So happy with everything and I like the way the scars are healing so far. I am Using vitamin c and e cream and silicone cream plus silicone strip at night. Wearing spanx for support. So happy to be able to lift and carry my one year old (only 17 lbs). My bb is still weird looking to me but I know that takes the longest time to heal and to get used to. Can't wait to start really working out and doing abs! Hope you're all doing well! Need to catch up with your updates as soon as I can.

Do you have something in your BB to keep it from shrinking too much?
April 12, 2013
No not weird. Just saw you had the tape criss crossed over it. My doc said I could put a marble in if I wanted. Tried a small one and it didn't fit! I took a plastic ball from a necklace and stuck that in. Will try to keep something in there until I am done with the garment.

PO day 8-- today I tried on a few bikinis and it made me so excited for summer! I know I'm still quite swollen and oddly flat looking but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it's bright! I've been so concerned with the emotional aspect of the surgery and recovery, stressing about complications, guilty for missing out on a few weeks of throwing my baby in the air and racing my daughter on her bike... I never realized how happy I'd be to have my confidence back.
Physically, feeling awesome-- off all over the counter pain mess and just listening to my body and resting s few times a day when needed. Able to take the kids to school and do very light housework, try on a few bikinis then it's time for a break :). Just feels like my core is week, almost like I've had the stomach flu for a week and am getting back on my feet.. Tummy feels very fragile and I hate the feeling of no binder so I wear it still. I'm in TWO pairs of higher power spanx plus the binder! But I like it. Thrilled with the results and so happy that I had such an honest PS. One thing I struggled with going into this was whether I preferred a very low horizontal scar with a small vertical component or a slightly higher horizontal scar with no vertical... Didn't have enough skin to pull low enough and cover old bb peircing. So glad we chose the vertical... I would be upset with the horizontal any higher and like that I can hide that in bikinis. Maybe I'll get a tiny tattoo for the vertical if it's still visible in a year!
Quick waits to those coming up and happy healing to all, xo

Looking good lady!! I bet you'll hardly notice the vertical after a while. Great results!

WOW! You look amazing and only 8 days PO. I'm having the same procedures done on April 9th. It's nice to see someone with a similar body as mine and see how wonderful your results are. People love to tell me how I don't need a TT but they just don't understand. Thank you for sharing and happy healing.g to you!
