You got it! Standing up is very important. It took me a good two weeks, and even now I still find myself leaning. My surcial dressing came off a few days ago so I now have nothing to hold me back! I have minor seperation at my incision below my belly button, other amazing! I can not remember the last time I had a flat tummy! Keep up the good work and get lots of recovery!

You look great! Congrats on all the weight loss and making it through the surgery. I had a small procedure from Dr. Hsiao (reviewed on realself) also. I'm now considering him for a TT. Will you please keep posting photos of your progress and scar? I've had two consults so far with two doctors and they gave me very different opinions so I figure Dr. Hsiao will be the tie breaker. How did you find out about Dr. Hsiao? I was referred to him by a dermatologist.

She sleeps pretty good but still up a couple times here n there! Still very sore of course but now feeling pain around my new belly button area that's causing a lot of discomfort I keep a lot of ice in me usually any suggestions on how to make this easier with my 4 month old n being cut n half!

If you're not on too much pain killer maybe let your baby sleep with you or at least in the same room. It's early and you will get better each day and more capable.
