Things have been going well. I still have some really bad days where I have a lot of swelling. I worked out today and I over did it. My lower abs felt like I was having contractions... Odd to feel that way and not be pregnant. I can't wait to get more feeling in my lower abdominal muscles. I do get a little more feeling with each passing week. My scar looks amazing and there is no ropey feeling. It is nice and flat and I hope it stays that way.

Silicone strips and tape
This is the brand I use for silicone strips. This is the tape I use to secure my strips. I cut the silicone strips packet in half the tape each end of the strip. I wear it all day and when I shower I wait 5 to 10 mins to make sure I am dry before applying the strips and tape. I also do not apply any lotion to my body after the shower until I have secured my silicone strips with the tape.

Oh, I forgot to say that I wear HANES boyfriend bikini briefs and I wear two of them at a time. The band is wide and tight and it places pressure on my scar to help flatten it out.
This is interesting! I'm adding to my list. When did you start wearing them?
1 week post op:)
Also I wanted to ask how you sized yours? Did you go for them to fit tight and snug since you doubled them or what?
Yes I do:) I have the smallest they come so that's a 5. I thought about going to see if they have them on the big kids section for a snugger fit. MY PS wants constant pressure on the scar. I have never worn compression garments or binders. I usually wear my lululemon pants and they are very low rise and tight on my scar. I keloid easily so that is why my PS wants pressure on my scar. So far it is working:)
You look brilliant I've been told I may end up with T scar also but yours looks great :)
You look great, I use those same strips, I really like them also.

re: 3 weeks PO
Everything is going great. I am still having nerve pain in the right thigh. However we are going to wait 3 weeks to see if my PS wants to release the nerve by opening up my incision. Otherwise I am standing almost completely straight, I can do light arm and leg weights, I can lift as much as I can tolerate, and I was cleared for "relations";) I had another kenalog treatment for my incision. I am sleeping on my sides and only on 1 pillow. I still have lots of swelling intermittently. I have pics of my scars before my second kenalog treatment and pics of me today. My left side is much more swollen than my right today. Oh and I finally am seeing the return of my butt;) LOL!!
