Day 26 post op.....I havent posted in a while because I have been feeling so good, I have been out and about. I really feel like my old self again. It only slightly hurts when I cough or sneeze. I still have been taking ti easy though....no lifting. I havent been doing any sort of excersisees just going to my kids games, and work, and other daily errands. I bought a pair of spanx, but I also bought something that Birkshire makes its a girdle sort that fits right below your bra and goes down to right above the knee. I purchase it from a hoisery store and I think that it holds your tummy in a little better than spanx and it was much cheaper....$8.00 compared to $35. and they wash very well too. I havent taken any after pictures yet, since I am still slightly swollen, and i have yet to upload the before pictures. I am a procrastinator....but will try to post some pics soon. Happy Healing ladies, and hope you all had a Happy Mothers Day!

Day 18 post op May 7th
All is sooo WELL. I went to see my Doctor on Thursday, he said I can start using a compression gamrent like Spanx. My tummy is looking so good. So far I am very pleased with the results. I am very happy. He took the stitches out and told me to moisturize the area. Friday was the first day that I really started feeling like my old self. I mean I can jump rope but I am feeling soo good. I am still swollen right belowmy naval to my pubic area....I am hoping that it wont take more than a few months for that swelling to go down. I have a question for any ladies out there that are reading my updates. I went on the spanx website and am confused on what to purchase. Any suggestions??? also what lotion would you recommend. I heard Aquaphor or Vitamin E oil???

Day 14 post op....May 3rd
I am feeling good, I can't complain I am able to get in and out of bed without my step stool. I am walking slightly hunched over today where yesterday I wasn't. Not sure whats up with that but I go to see the doctor today and will ask him. Today is actually two weeks since I got my surgery done and I am happy with the results already. I sort of overdid myself this past weekend though. I went to my boys baseball games and that might have been too much for me. I unfortunately went back to work on Tuesday for financial reasons, so I find that I wake up feeling really good, but by the time I go to bed I am swollen. The binder is soo annoying, it itches pulls on my skin, is so tight that it makes marks on my skin. Sometimes, like right this very moment it feels so tight it is uncomfortable to breathe. I am hoping I will be able to wear some type of spanx by next week. One very important thing....I love looking in the mirror again....So far so good, the doctor did an amazing job . I am not in so much pain, its just uncomfortable and am in slight pain when I get up from my chair or bed or sit in a chair or bed. Well I guess thats it. I havent posted the pictures because my computer was acting up, hopefull by this weekend

So far I would have to give him 4 stars. His consultation was very imformative. By the time he was done he pretty much answered all my questions. I had gone to him last year for the removal of some moles on my face, and was pleased. He did not sugar coat anything and I fell he was honest. Time will tell
