I can't wait to get to the tummy tuck finish line! Life is back to normal and I am finally working my full 12 hour shifts at the hospital. I realized that I'm not lifting patient s like I used to. I guess I'm still a little weary of pulling something in my stomach. My incision is healing ahead of schedule per my PS, but it still looks dark. Im still using the EMBRACE scar therapy treatment and I have 3 weeks left of applications. I will start using a lightening cream to help with the pigment. After that I will post some before and after pics. The seroma is FINALLY gone but the swelling persist. Always better in the morning than in the evening. My husband said I'm addicted to my abdominal binder, and I think he is right lol! It just makes me feel so...secure. Other than that, all is well. Hope everyone is enjoying and living life!
Forgot the pics...
One month and Counting ????
Today marks week 4 (plus 4 days)! So much has been going on since my last post. I'm starting to feel like myself again. I am able to get up and do pretty much anything I want to around the house. Still not lifting anything to heavy. Thank goodness for grown kids and my awesome hubby. I've gone out shopping with my husband for Christmas and I must say it was my first full day out on my feet without any "stomach" fatigue. The swelling still does what the hell it wants. I have realized that I'm not in control in that department ????.
-Diet and weight are fair. I am 158. Eating way to many sweets (new enemy is ice cream). I will get this under wraps this week!
- Pain is gone BUT I feel like my skin is on fire at times! Damn nerve endings and hypersensitive skin, aka dysesthesia, keeps me awake at night. It will take 3 months or more to resolve. God help me..
-Hard induration at lipo sites: my sides were hard like rocks. I started lymphatic ultrasound massages to help break down the scar tissue. So far I had 2 treatment and I feel a difference already on my right side! The left was the problematic side even before surgery due to old mesh. Really tender and still hard but getting better slowly. I have 4 more sessions left.
-INCISION: okay. Everyone that has seen my scar says it looks absolutely fabulous. I on the other hand, think it looks dark. In time it will fade. The left side, the problem child, gathers a bit and the doctor said it would flatten. I started using the EMBRACE scar treatment today. It takes two months and your paycheck for it to work (lol). It's the next best thing since snap chat...????. We will see if I invested my money wisely.
-Seroma: drain again last week. The doctor said my ultrasound therapy was stimulating my lymphatic drainage. So now I have to tell her don't touch my belly when she does the ultrasound and to only do my sides. I think I will need to be drained more time before this is all over.
Okay. That was loooong! Sorry but I felt I needed to give you the full scoop.
Stay tuned. This Thursday I start Velashape III for my cellulite on my thighs! Trying to her beach ready by June!
