32 Years Old, 2 Kids Via CS, and FINALLY Reclaiming my Tummy! - Darien, CT

6 weeks post op
Well ladies the flat side is amazing! Just hit my six week mark and we had a trip planned. Always nervous about flying so close to the procedure but I was not in the least bit uncomfortable or in pain. Flew from CT to CA with a layover in between. My incision started to bother me a bit but honestly the binder is apart of me now. I almost feel like I'm missing something If I'm not wearing it. My incision is still swollen mostly on the left side but Dr. P mentioned I could expect swelling into my 4th month although the extend of the swelling varies by person. Anyway great trip and the feeling of being on a beach with all these other woman in 2 pieces and realizing "hey I'm finally in a 2 piece too"! Priceless! Worth every penny!!????

Hey. So happy to hear your update!! How is your incision line? Has it moved downward more since your July bikini post? How is swelling overall? Daily? Only in afternoon? Only once a week? Thx so much. Again- you look great :)

The excitement is real...3.5 weeks post op!
Eeek!!! So I ventured over to the bathing suit section today during lunch. Was anxious and nervous all at the same time. Needless to say I walked out of that dressing room another person!! I feel a bit more confident with the position of my incision. I tried to share my excitement with a few friends and they just didn't get how big of a deal this was. To be in a 2 piece after sooo many years is amazing! With that said I knew you gals would appreciate the outcome considering the journey. Still swollen and my belly button isn't quite right but getting there ????????

I'm glad you're feeling better about your incision because you're looking great. That's for sure
Thanks girlie :)
awesome! yes, it is a HUGE deal to be able to wear a bikini and look good in it!!!
You look awesome! You have a lovely shape! Kudos to Dr P.
Congrats!!! I keep telling my husband that I will wear a bikini some day. Someone who hasn't struggled with their weight can never appreciate your excitement. Job well done!

I have a question for you...I read your earlier post that you thought your incision was kinda high. I am almost 6wks po and am loving my results. I was told pre surgery that my incision would be higher than ideal due to not a lot of loose skin to pull down. This was fine- I can handle a high scar if my tummy is flat. But--did you notice that your scar settled lower as you were healing? Can I hope that my will "drop" a little in the months to come? My undies do not hide my scar and that is fine, but I just hope that I can find a cute bathing suit that will hide the scar. Thanks in advance for your advice.
