Here are the pics nearly 10 weeks PO


Nearly 10 weeks gone!

So I will be 10 weeks PO in 3 days time. I had meant to post an update sooner but I didn't feel much had changed with the swelling or the incision since my last post. Things have changed however over the last week or so in that as the swelling has subsided that bit more and I am getting more of an idea of my final shape I am getting this creeping feeling that I may need to have a small revision. I am totally happy with my bb and the muscle repair, which still feels very tight by the way, and my waist which is vastly improved, is nice and small. I do however have some fatty areas at the ends of the incision both sides, which do make me look less 'sleek' than I had hoped for. I particularly notice this from the back, unfortunately this is quite hard to photo, to show what I mean. I think I have gained some weight, I am now 10 stn again. I am watching my weight and keeping up my walking, plus adding in some upper limb and leg strength training so it is possible I am gaining some muscle mass, I am not sure. I am being very careful not to overdo things as I have found my stomach muscles get very irritated and tight if I don't take care whenever I am doing, well, anything at all!!!
I recently had full bloods done and these found my white cell count was down. Not sure if this is anything to worry about, I am having repeats in a few days so I should know more then. I have only just had a period, so I know generally thins surgery has been traumatic on my body.
RE: the fatty bits/ dog ears ( not sure if these qualify as dog ears) muffin top seems better.....I have asked the doctors on here whether they feel a revision of these areas would be reasonable. I really wouldn't mind if my incision was longer, if the trade off was slimmer hips, so I'll have to see what they say. I hope everyone is doing well and happy with their results!! Xx

Unplanned scar pics!

So my plan to hang on to the numerous bits of microspore attached to my incision scar until my bath next week went to pot, so I have ended up removing the whole lot and replacing with 1 long piece which should work much better and not get caught up in my clothing and the constant taking down and pulling up the spanx to go to the loo.
My scar is very low and whilst I am not complaining about that, in any way shape or form...its great! However the lowness does mean that the tape gets constantly disrupted simply by the position of it by my knickers and garment. I have taken a pic sitting down so you can see what I mean.
As far as the scar goes everything looks good so far. There are still a few black scabby bits which I just tried to clean off in the shower but I didn't want to run too hard so there are still some bits remaining. These pics are post shower and at the end of the day so quite swollen. There is a slightly pinkier small area on the pubic line which I felt I should do something with so I ended up using iodine on the whole scar which I dried really well with the hairdryer ( on cool) before taping. I am still using iodine on my BB daily also.
