Drainless tummy and MR

I am about 7 weeks post op from my tummy tuck and muscle repair. I had three kids all delivered via c-section so I had extra skin and a mommy apron that I hated. I am 5’1 and weighed about 118 at surgery date. I was off pain meds by day 4 just took Tylenol for discomfort after that. About 3 weeks I developed a redness and small blister in the small vertical line of my old belly button that burst and started draining a yellowish pus like substance. I am now on my 3 round of antibiotics hoping it will heal. I still have swelling especially after working all day or eating salt. So I try to watch that as much as I can. Due to my minor issues with the stitches and draining I have yet to start working out. My tummy seems to change weekly small improvements. Not healing as well as I hoped but still happy with my decision. My doctor did a great job. Any issues I have had he has had me come one in and evaluate me and my issue. He is a great doctor and his staff his amazing as well.

Little update Still having some swelling at night but overall feeling good! Trying to get back to normal after months of limited activity. My problem area is healing up now, no more draining. I was able to put on a pair of jeans today! I have still been wearing leggings and yoga pants. I also still wear my binder. I hate it but it makes me feel secure! I Have numbness below my belly button and some times I have these weird sharp pains and a pulling sensation but it goes away. I have been told by others that it’s nerve regeneration. I still get sore so I try to listen to my body and not push it. Over all feel good!
