Almost One Year Post-Op!! I've Officially Made It ;-) - Columbus, OH

It's been nearly 3 years since I've had my surgery and I'm mostly happy I did it. The only thing is I wish my scar were lower and hidden. However, it is what it is and I'm not getting a revision. And it's a lot better than it was, right?! Ha ha! Still have numbness below my belly button and it will stay that way forever but I'm used to it. Other than that, everything is going good.

Well.....it has been almost one year!! I

Post-Op Day 20: Hello fellow tummy tuckers! Today was a good day. I realized last night that my belly button and incision were both scab free and completely sealed - yay! I started massaging my incision last night with Palmer's Oil. I had been massaging my stomach around the belly button and above my incision for about a week but I didn't start on my incision because I wanted it to be closed up. It is looking pretty good at this point. I do feel that there is a ridge under the incision of what I'm assuming is scar tissue. I'm confident that the massaging will help it go away. I'm sure it's a normal part of the healing process. Another cool thing, I went to the gym today and walked. I didn't feel the overwhelming tightness and swelling that I felt the last time I walked so that was good. I went early in the morning (around 9am) and stayed for about an hour. I did take breaks where I would sit for a few minutes. I even did 100 squats<
