I had a full tummy tuck with muscle repair no lipo 4/21/14 I am 25, 2 Kids, Very Active (Crossfit 4-6 Times Per Week)

I always wanted to be one of those girls that could take her shirt off at the gym.... Now I will be :) can't wait to get back to working out. 3 weeks and 4 more days!

appointment went good. My ps said everything looks good and I am healing well. I did get an answer as to why my incision is high. I didn't have enough skin to pull it down far enough for a low scar... oh well my tummy is flat and I tend to scar well. Over all I am doing well. Every day I get a little better, it is just a long healing process. By the end of the day I am pretty swollen and my abs are very tight/uncomfortable. I have switched from the garment I wore home from the surgery center to spanks during the day, which is much more comfortable. I am standing much more erect, but not 100%. One thing I do encounter quite often in my abs contract on their own to a point where it is like a burn from an intense workout. It gets worse the more I do. My ps said it is very normal, and if I lay down it goes away. Other than that my incision seems to be healing well. The tape is starting to fall off in a few places, and from what I can see the scar forming is thin. I do miss working out terribly! I feel my muscle I spent the last year building fading away, but I will get it back when I am cleared to workout :) anything is worth having a flat tummy!! I will post pictures from my phone in a following update.
