You look super flat. The scar is very nice. How come no belly button? Just curious.

You look great! I am belly buttonless too and have the vertical scar...it also helped in removing an old scar that was pretty big. How are you feeling? I'm 4 days post today and feel 65% human again lol. I noticed my hips are very swollen too it's weird. Having trouble getting some of my pants around them so I'm wearing Bf's pajama pants mostly for now.

I am feeling pretty good today... I have gone down a pants size, but wearing pants that fit feels weird since I am still missing so much feeling. I feel like my hipbones are poking out even though they are not.

Hmm. I wonder how long that numbness lasts. I'm up more today hope I didn't push it too far. I noticed I cry very easily. I'm thinking being stuck in the house and not getting any exercise is why but idk. Congrats in going down a pants size that's awesome! Are you back to everything ok or finding you get tired easily?

Why did they have to go with no belly button? I had the surgery you had and add a vertical scar under the boobs and I was able to keep mine.

It was my choice because he said he could make me tighter and flatter.

Oh, that is good to know. I want the same procedure, I need to decide whether I want to keep the belly button then.

I am surprised by how swollen my hips and thighs still are. I have been getting lymphatic drainage massages for my arms and they work on my abdomen as well... which feels bizarre, as I still do not have feeling near my scars.

oh yeah... the scars where my two incisions meet is like a four inch black hole of no feeling... feels very hard to the touch, too. My hips and thighs are still swollen and tender. I will take pictures again sometime soon... it has been 7 weeks so far for me.

Yes black hole defines it perfectly and I am 12 weeks. It isn't as bog of an area that is like that anymore but still a couple small spots. Everything else, the feeling has come back.
