Hello! It has been a month since I updated. I am just a about a week away from being two months post-op. Not much has changed. My scar is really dark but is fading for sure. My stomach is very flat and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. I haven't been dieting like I did before the tuck but I haven't gained a single pound. The pain is gone for the most part but some days the muscle repair will start to burn or hurt if I work really hard around the house. I have no problems with my scar, it is very low and never shows when I have panties on. My mons pubis scar is just awful though, I hope it fades soon. I don't have a lot of pubic hair naturally so it is not like I can hide it underneath the hair. Other than that I am just enjoying my new tummy and looking forward to shopping for bikinis this year!

YAY! So I finally got my drains and stitches...
YAY!
So I finally got my drains and stitches removed yesterday! The drain removal was painless but felt extremely odd and uncomfortable for about 3 minutes. The painful part was the removal of stitches on the incision and the belly button. Have have never had stitches removed so I had no idea what to expect, but the pain was brief.
I was thoroughly freaked out when they removed the drain and there was a giant gaping hole in my vagina. My doctor told he how to change the dressing and said that the hole would close in 24-48 hours, but to be honest I didnt believe it would close because it was so huge and deep. BUT!! I just changed my dressing and the hole is completely closed and you cant even tell it was there, I was so shocked and so happy.
Right now the only thing that hurts is my belly button. Ever since the stitches were removed I feel like the belly button is detaching from the skin it was sewn to. Every time I cough or laugh it feels like it is popping off. It is hard to describe but I am sure it will stop soon.
I feel like the drain removal was the last big hurdle in my recover. Although I still have a lot of recovery before I am totally well, I feel like the drain removal means I can begin to return to normal life, light chores etc. which I am attempting to do today.
