Mommy of 3 Full Tummy Tuck with Hernia and Muscle Repair (no lipo) - Burglengenfeld, DE

These are exactly 2 years post op and I am 6 weeks pregnant!

So, where to begin? I will tart with the bad and end with the good. My belly button did get totally infected! It was terrible, all gooey but taken care of with antibiotics. I have a crazy scar now in my belly button. I am treating it with vitamin e hoping it will get smaller.
My seroma was drained once and came right back at 3 weeks post op. I no longer have the waterbed effect going on, but there is noticeable swelling in that area. It does not feel like scar tissue, it is very soft... I am not sure. I wish it would go down but it is not very noticeable.
That being said, I am very happy with my transformation. I look AWESOME in clothes and pretty good without. My scar is thin and I cannot even feel it in some parts. My upper waist continually looks smaller. In the last pics I posted, I went down on the side in a flat line. Now there is a dramatic curve. I like it. I did NOT have any lipo (although I could have used it :). I have to work out the side fat I have. Speaking of working out, I am running 2-3 miles at a moderate pace already. Also, As of last week, I was unable to do ANY sit ups. This week, I am able with moderate discomfort. I can also do push ups easier. This is a good thing because I am in ther Army... I am also glad I can work out because I want to fix the whole side fat thing I have going on. I am determined!
A little note for the pice I am posting today. I don't wear the binder anymore and these are after a whole day of work and I just ran 2 miles.

Hello real self world. Tomorrow I will be 4 weeks post op. I am feeling and looking so much better! I still have a lot of residual swelling but am much smaller than I was at 2 weeks. My belly button was/ is infected. I got on antibiotics and it is receding quickly. Also about my belly button, it is looking MUCH nicer. I was freaking out a little that it looked like a thin, wide line. It is now a cute circle with a nice hood. My only stitch marks are on the inside bottom. That is where my infection happened, so we will see how smoothly the skin heals. Either way, it is much cuter than I saw at first. When the infection is gone, I. Will post another pic. I just had to be patient. I guess I wanted to know how I would look a lot sooner than my body was ready to show. I still have a long way to go but am much more positive now. My scar is all healed except for a very small stubborn spot right in the middle. That should be gone in a week. All in all, I feel great. I have been back to work full time for over a week now and feel great working as well. I come home and still have energy for the kiddos. I am glad I have my energy back. I will post pice soon. Today is a bad day, I ordered a binder 1 size too small. The one from the hospital has seriously lost its Velcro abilities. The binder hurt by the end of the day. IAM pretty swollen right now.
