2 Years PO and scar revision, Drainless Tummy Tuck -Muscle Repair and Umbilical Hernia - Calgary, AB

Today I took off the steri strips. I'm recovering very well. Sore at times but overall I can walk fine. I'm still quite swollen. I can't wear my reg pants. I've been wearing my leggings. I'm hoping when the swelling goes down, everything is going to look fine. I head back to work this week. I took a week off and 1 week off worked out perfect!

It's been almost 2 yrs since I have had my tummy tuck. I saw my surgeon Dr Dawes last year to inquire about a scar revision. I found my scar in the middle was a lil too high and i wanted it lowered. Also on my right side, there was some scar tissue that healed around a nerve so I wanted that fix too. The surgery took about an hour and the healing process is about a week. It's a bit sore, but nothing like the first time. I can walk pretty good. A little hunched over the first 2 days but I'm fine now. Can't sleep straight on my back quite yet but I'm sure in a few days I would be able to.

It's been awhile since i've updated my status. I'm 7 mos PO. Everything feels normal! I still have numbness around my tummy area, but i've learned to live with it. When i scratch it i can kind of feel it, but it's not as satisfying compared to the rest of my body.

I started training with my personal trainer a couple weeks ago. I feel so awesome after my workouts. Getting a tummy tuck has been so life changing. I feel so much better about myself. This whole journey for me since Feb. 2014 has been such a great experience!! I got my tummy tuck done in February 2014, and then i started my shakes from Isagenix in April (and i'm still on it), lost 15 lbs from it and a ton of inches and i'm now starting my exercising AND it has been a huge accomplishment!!!! People have noticed the weight loss and tells me how fit i look i now. The feeling is amazing!! It all started with the Tummy tuck to encourage me to look and feel good about myself again!! I'm thankful that my friend introduced me to Isagenix because Isagenix combined with the tummy tuck gives you EVEN better results!!

I am still a bit self conscious when i wear my bikini bottoms. My scar is a bit higher in the centre, so i find i'm always pulling up my bikini bottom to hide it. I will see if the scar fades anymore. If not, i think i will get a scar revision done at my 1 yr mark. The scar on the sides are hidden pretty good when i have my bikini on, it's just the centre that is a bit high. It's prob. just me being paranoid a bit. My bikini bottoms does hide it, but if it slips down a bit you can see it. When you go into the water i find that your bottom slides down a bit, so i'm a bit self concious and i'm constantly pulling it up. We are going to Mexico next month so i'm really excited for my trip!! I haven't worn a bikini in a long time.
