Getting a Tummy Tuck, Muscle Repair and Hernia Repair - Drammen Norway

Its been nearly 4 weeks and I feel great. Besides not being able to lift my kids or work out I have pretty much gone back to normal life. My tummy still feels quite numb and it is still very swollen (though less)... more so in the evening. As the swelling lessens I realize there is a significant amount of loose skin left, but like I said its still way better then it was. I have some pics below. None of the incision since its covered in tape anyway. I plan to start using silicone strips on it starting this week. Hopefully this will make the scar nice and flat.

So even with a 5 lbs weight loss and skin removal since the surgery, I still cant fit into pre-tummy tuck jeans. I didn't expect that. Ill be wearing stretch pants and dresses for a while it seems. I do look much better in clothes though and its nice to not wear a girdle.

I was supposed to wear my tummy binder for 4 weeks, but I have given up on that a week early. It seemed to be hurting me more then it supported me. I read other doctors recommendations online and decided to ignore this particular instruction from my doctor. I've felt much better since... so hope its ok.

Not sure what else to write. Next appointment is in 2 months, just a follow-up. Very happy with the results so far. Cant wait to clothe shop.

Getting the tape changed for the first time... It burned a little but not too bad. The cut looks a little scary, but the nurse assured me it will be a nice thin scar as long as I keep the tape on as instructed.

Here are pics for the last update
