10 wk update

Life is getting back to normal. My scar is not 100% but it improves every week. I use Biocorneum scar gel on it daily and cover it with micropore tape. I can stand straight and workout 3-4 times a weeks. I do a lot of cardio, I don’t want to risk any issues with my stomach so I stay away from weights.
A lot of the rippling has softened. The incision lays kinda of high so it’s right at my bikini underwear. In various bathing suits it can be seen or hidden but if I move a lot it shows for sure. It really doesn’t bother me, I just hope the color of my scar lightens eventually. I am just happy for a smooth stomach!

Puckering

It’s been 5 weeks since my surgery. Although, there has been so much improvement I can’t help but wonder will this puckering ever soften? I am so nervous/worried!

Muscle Tension

Today has been a great day. I woke up and all the muscle tension I had in my upper abdomen softened!!! Now I can almost stand straight! My lower abdomen is still tight and swollen but it’s way easier to manage. I am so relieved!

Dr Mess has been great. She was third Dr to consult with and I am happy I found her. Her staff is wonderful and very compassionate. She always responds to my concerns very timely. So far it has been a great decision.
