I am now 8 weeks post-op today! I feel great and my healing is going very well. Still have to wear my binder daily but can sleep without it at night. Going to see my PS this week so hopefully going to get some new instructions for binder wear and whether i can exercise or not.
Still kinda numb around my belly button area. Only the skin is numb though, my muscle can feel it if I scratch or touch. I have been taking Bromelain in the afternoon to help with the evening swelling. I have to admit that my swelling isn't too bad. Just a little below my incision and under my boobs.
Headed out for a 2 week road trip with my husband to the States in a couple of days. Very excited to do some shopping!
New pics to come soon!

4 weeks post op!
Finally back at home and feeling pretty good! Had a very busy weekend too. Visited with a friend and her family while they were camping close to my town. Also went to our friend's daughter's first birthday party. Pretty tired and sore after the crazy weekend, but feels great to see my friends again.
All scabs are now gone, but some pesky stitches still hanging on and poking through. Laughing and coughing doesn't hurt as much anymore. Able to put my binder on by myself now too!
Hoping to start going for some walks, as long as the weather is good! In desperate need of some exercise... my butt is getting flat from having to sit and rest so much, and legs are starting to get jiggly!

I agree!...our tummies look identical before and after! You are looking great! Hope my swelling goes down like yours!
I'm kinda scared of getting rid of my binder. I guess I've grown attached to it! Lol. As much as I hate it, I feel so weird without it on.
Vegas? Exciting!!! Have fun rocking that new tummy!
Did you go shopping for new clothes yet? I can not wait till all my swelling is gone so I can buy cute outfits. Even right now, my shirts looks amazing on me. :) but my jeans won't button. :(

I did do a little bit of shopping. I picked up a casual dress and a cute romper. I'm saving all my shopping for Las Vegas.
I've been pretty lucky with my swelling, in that most of my pre-op clothes are too big! I kinda look like a slub walking around in too big clothes though!
Hope your swelling settles and your recovery continues to go well!

I am now 3 weeks post surgery. Everything is going well. Scabs are starting to come off and the scar underneath looks really good. Not really red at all. Swelling is still kept at bay with the binder being on 24/7.
Finally starting to walk straighter and for longer distances. Went shopping with my mom and daughter yesterday. Tried on some cute dresses, size 6 and small! Felt good, but didn't end up buying anything. Still have that crazy fat/hanging skin thing in the back of my head. Gotta get over that before my trip to Las Vegas. Might try again tomorrow.
Sadly, I had to put down my dog this morning. He was diagnosed with cancer about 4 weeks ago and late last night he was just in too much pain. Pretty sore today from crying and being upset.
New pics to follow soon.
