Updated photo at 4 months
I went on vacation and here is a photo of my stomach. Now to at some point get a little bit of definition showing.
3 months picture
I am 3 months out right now and doing good. I am just now able to do more with my workouts. Planks are challenging but getting better. I don't swell anymore unless it is period time. As I am starting to get feeling back I get tenderness in my scar. It kinda comes and goes. I still am numb in the middle of my stomach. It is sensitive to touch sometimes and I hate the feeling. I am glad that I did the surgery though.
6 week follow up
Well it's been 6 1/2 weeks since my surgery. I am doing good and definately starting to be able to do more. I still have swelling but mostly at night. I still have not really been able to sleep on my sides because my incision hurts. It looks really good I think but it's just sore. I was told at 4 weeks to quit wearing my compression garmet except when doing sonethimg for long periods of time. I want to start getting more into exercising as I have noticed a muffin top. Not sure if it is swelling or fat building up but it's got to go. I did try on a bikini for the first time in like 20 years. I have been doing small things here or there but nothing too crazy yet. I hope everyone is doing good on their recovery. I feel like the long recovery is the hardest part of it all.

My doctor and all the staff was amazing. I feel like they took the time to communicate with me and answer any and all questions. Everything went so smootly.
