Full Tummy tuck with diastasis recti and umbilical hernia repair

The separation is finally closed. I’m still getting areas where a suture will pop through leaving a tiny hole. The hole heals up pretty quickly at least. There’s another area that feels like a pimple and maybe it’s an ingrown hair or another suture popping through. I’m not in love with the scar right now. Its definitely worse in the areas that had separation. When the time comes, I’ll probably opt for the revision although I’m really hesitant to have more healing to do. I’m still numb from almost my ribs to just under the scar. I’m still able to workout - have been since 6wpo. I just skip the core targeted parts of the workouts (beachbody bbl) and things where I’m laying on my side on the floor or laying on my belly.

Someone asked me about current swelling compared to my preop size, so I had to do a comparison. Pics speak for themselves. It almost doesn’t even look like me. My skin has been pulled down so much, my mole moved from right under my boobs to my ribs.

I’ve had a few workouts in since 6 weeks post op and my core is feeling more stable! After muscle repair, gaining core stability is probably to be expected and it’s awesome. I woke up today and my waist was looking so tiny. I got a workout in and it’s still small and didn’t swell up like I was expecting. I was also able to finally sleep on my side without any tenderness.
I’m no longer wearing my compression belt, only sometimes wearing spanx and it doesn’t seem to effect whether I swell or not. Yesterday I had to lift some things and be on my feet much of the day and I felt pretty normal and didn’t notice my core or pain or anything. I only have a little tightness in my rib area and numbness in my lower midsection.
I’m also able to hold my 1 and 3yr old with no problems or pain; I’m just careful how I do it.
My wound separation is almost closed up. There are a couple areas that look like little holes from sutures popping through. The area healed and then later looked like a zit and then it popped, leaving a little hole. I’m still healing so I’m being patient with all that happening. There’s no pain from it and I’ll be able to do a revision in that area later anyhow.
The scar location is still higher than my old c-section scar, but lower than incision placement I’ve seen on other people who went to other doctors.
My belly button looks more natural now, less flat, maybe since swelling has gone down it sort of dips in a bit. It’s pretty cute and my husband says it looks natural and he wouldn’t know i had a tummy tuck if he was a stranger looking at it.
