3 weeks post op!

WORTH IT$7,300
So here I am 21 days later and feeling really great. I have a spitting stitch in my belly button and its a little infected so I had an impromptu visit with my PS yesterday and he said my body will heal it so it didn't need to come out and gave me silvadene to use on it. So I'm hoping it's healed very soon. Also he removed my steristrips so I saw my incision for the first time and other than some scabbing it looks great! He wants me to keep it covered with 3M paper tape now as scar treatment. I'll include a pic. So I go back next Monday for him to check on my belly button again but other than that I'm doing well. I'm down to 113 lbs now and I'm not eating any differently so it has to be the 6.6 lbs he removed. 3 more weeks and I can workout again too. Can't wait!

Quick update

17 days post op and finally able to wear my jeans comfortably. So I tried these jeans on before surgery and again today, cant believe the difference. Size 3 fit fine before but even better now. I'm so excited at little changes like this.

2 week stats updated

So these were my stats right before surgery and I retook my measurements today
Height - 5'3
weight 118
Waist around belly button - 29
hips - 35
Thigh - 18

Weight - 115.6 down 2.4 lbs
Waist- 28 down an inch
Hips- 36 up an inch, swelling I'm assuming, they are still bruised
Thigh- 19 up an inch as well, swelling

So I kinda thought my hips and thighs were still swollen because my pants fit awesome in the waist but really tight in the hips and thigh area, so guess those will continue to go down over the next few weeks. I'm just happy to be shrinking and healing :)
