Decided to do a full tuck with muscle repair and hernia repair.

After two c-sections, CrossFit and paleo could not eliminate the tummy flab. Size 2 and still wore a one piece suit to hide the flab. Went in for a consult on December 1 and scheduled the procedure ASAP for Dec 17. I'm 8 days post op and doing great.

CrossFit has made my recovery pretty easy. Was home by noon and only in bed for two days. Started light activity on day 3 and managed pain with Vicodin for a week. On regular Tylenol now.

Tomorrow, Dec 26, I get my drain removed and will finally look at the work. I haven't wanted to see it until now.

So far so good. : )

Today I got my drain out. I'm almost three weeks post op. it stopped draining a week ago. I was so nervous getting the drain out. But it happened so fast and did not hurt. I feel so much better now that it is gone. Plus I can finally shower.

Overall being active during the day has helped speed up recovery. I've been grocery shopping, cleaning and doing what I generally do before I had the TT.

My next post op appt is in three weeks. I bought some silicone scar gel today. I'll start to use in another week I think.

I actually had to wait three more days to get the drain out. So that was frustrating.
