It has been awhile! 4 months Post Op

It has been a little over 4 months since my surgery. I am feeling pretty good. Still not back to exercising the way that I was. I still feel some pain and tenderness in my upper abdominal area, especially if I overdo it or am doing anything that involves a lot of core work. That's a little frustrating, but I know that healing is a process and I'm getting better and better as time goes on. I am going to upload some pics from my phone that I took today. My belly button has gotten a ton better and I'm pretty happy with it. My scar is looking good - no issues there either. I need to lose about 5-10 lbs because I haven't been working out and not eating as well as I know I need to. The surgery just knocked me all out of whack with my routine and I need to get back into it. I've been very fortunate - I've barely had any swelling since the first 6 weeks or so. And even then, I didn't have a lot of swelling and NEVER had the swell hell some have talked about. I have been taking a few supplements and I think that is what made all the difference.

Not sure about my BB :(

I feel like I'm pretty happy with everything so far and feeling pretty good. But I'm nervous about my bb :( I know I can get a revision if necessary but I really hope it changes a little in the next few weeks. I don't see my PS until August and I'm not sure if I should call and ask about it or what?

You look fantastic!!!! My belly button looks very similar and I was feeling pretty bummed as well. But now I'm thinking my ps told me it actually takes a full year for your body to heal from this type of surgery. If that's the case then we're still very early into our recovery and a lot could change over the next 11 months. Lets just be happy that we made it to the flat side and the worst of it is over!!! Who really looks at a belly button anyway??
