17 days post op
Hi there, I thought it was about time I gave an update. This journey so far has been like a rollercoaster, lots of ups and downs.
I have good days and bad. I think all the downtime at home gives you too much time to obsess over your results. My drain site finally closed again, but now I've noticed what seems like a seroma over my incision. I going to the doctors on friday so I'll get him to check it out. I've also been feeling hard lumps from my bb up to my sternum. I msg my dr and he says that it's probably my sutures from the muscle repair and will go away in a couple of months. My bruises have almost gone, I think the arnica tabs have helped a lot.
I'm so glad I found this wonderful site realself.
It's good to know your not alone and full of information.
The doctors are great too. Taking their time to answer your questions.
I will post some pics soon.

Drain site reopened and bleeding again.
I'm now 10 days post op and everything seemed to be going ok. Swelling going down scar closed and healing. Then last night as I'm drying myself after a shower I start bleeding from the hole where my drain had been. I thought I'd rubbed against it and eventually it would stop. No it's still bleeding this morning. The blood is dark and watery and it won't stop bleeding. I spoke to my dr on the phone and he's not worried,he said it could be a hematoma draining out!! He's out of town so I'm going to one of his colleagues to get it checked out this afternoon. Im starting to think what have I done to myself. Mabey I should have kept that little flap of loose skin. Plus I don't see any improvement. I looked better before. Feeling rather sad today

I finally did it. I've been wanting this for a long time. I'm 6 days post op and feeling good. I work in fitness and having a little extra skin after 2 pregnancies that really bothered me when I would bend over doing exercise. No matter how much I trained or dieted the skin remained to same. I got my drains out after 4 days and tomorrow my stitches will be coming out. It's still really early to see any result as I'm still pretty swollen. Here's some pics before and after. I'll keep updating.
