I'm literally tickled. My TT looks amazing so far. A line down the middle of my abs is trying to develop and my obliques are trying to show. I've been eating clean, drinking lots of water, walking nightly amg greatly anticipating my return to the gym. So far, I'm completely satisfied.

Both drains are finally out! Yeah!!! Instantly I was in less pain & more comfortable. I'm off pain meds completely, and only take a muscle relaxer at bedtime if needed. I wear my compression device 24/7, and change my bandages every other day. The swelling is going down daily. My tummy is tight and almost flat. I'm impressed at what I'm seeing already. And my new belly button? I'm loving it! Lol. The countdown is on....13 more days until I'm released to some "normal" At 4 weeks, I'm allowed to ride my Harley and return to the gym. ????

Looks really good. I can see from where your freckles used to be and where they are now to how much skin has been removed. I'm two weeks pre-op and getting very excited....Good luck on your recovery!
