7 weeks Post op

7 weeks Post op tomorrow. Starting to feel almost normal for the most part. Did ghd situps for the first time today. Definitely felt the burn. Will probably be super sore and swollen tomorrow though so crossing my fingers.

5 weeks Post op

My incision is super flat these days. I've been going to crossfit since week 4 PO everyday except Saturday and Sunday. After I get home from CF I put on my silicone strips. I take them off at night and massage with Palmers scar therapy and cocoa butter cream. It's completely flat now. My PS says she may do a revision in a few months because if you look closely right above my incision there appears to be a small slit on my tummy. That slit is actually my closed hole from my old belly button piercing! It's amazing to me that it used to be above my belly buttin and now it's way down by my public area....lol its crazy! I think I may not want the revision though just to keep the piercing scar to remind me of my old tummy :)

4 weeks post op

I went back to crossfit on Wednesday, which was 4 weeks and 1 day post op. Taking it pretty slow. Light weights and no ab work as of yet. Today was my third day back and I'm super sore lol of course but my tummy feels great! Saw my surgeon yesterday....got the ok to start using silicone strips yay! Does anyone know if they work super well? I'm hoping so. I've been using scar therapy oil as well so I'm going to keep massaging with that and wear the silicone strips as well.

Dr. Sato was very thorough! She gave me her cell and office numbers to follow up with questions or any concerns I had. She was very down to earth and I could tell she takes pride in her work and pleasing her patients. She did a phenomenal job!
