It has been 8 months and I am stoked.

Ok so my scar is still a little visible but it has healed great. I am so happy I made my decision. The only work out difference is that I am not running as much (but still doing cardio and weights). I am now looking at changing my top half. So happy I got my mini!

post op day #13
New updates: Both drains are d/c'ed (last one was out on Thursday). Today is the first day I didn't take pains....just taking otc pain relievers. I have no swelling or fld in my abd cavity. Sutures are show no s/s of infection. Still not able to go to the gym...doc said two more weeks. Stated start out "easy"....I asked him to "define easy". I can pretty much walk up right....sleep on my side.....I don't like sitting still to long or I get uncomfortable. Overall, I'd say I am either I recover well or the surgery really wasn't that difficult. I will add pics.....still have some edema....(puffiness) but very slight. I am in the abd binder 99% of the time as well.

Looking great! I'm 8 weeks tomorrow and I'm feeling great. Glad to hear you are doing so well. I'm anxious to get back to the gym myself.

Yeah....I had a mini so down time is pretty short. I am going to attempt spin or running next week.

Post op Day 5...
Well.....I used the last few days to nap and be still (which is hard for me to do!). My drains barely have any fluid draining into them. I have showered twice....been changing my bandage as directed. I don't have a ton of edema or bruising. Still walking around slightly hunched over but I am more mobile and it is much easier to sit/stand. Miralax has very helpful.....I haven't had any issues with going #2. Only taking pain meds when I wake up...moving around and getting started is the only time I have legit pain. Hoping these drains come out Tuesday.
