So the doc said I could take the tape off today. I was worried about the scar, but I'm pretty impressed with it!! Peeling the tape off in the shower was a little nerve wrecking though!

Reality check
Today was my first trip into town alone since the surgery. I discovered that none of my pants will fit over the binder. Luckily I have many jersey skirts with the fold down waist band that worked. I didn't expect my jeans or capris to fit, but in all honesty when they didn't, I had a slight depressed feeling. My mind said "flat stomach, clothes still don't fit right" even though I know that is not the case. I guess I'm really looking forward to getting the binder off and getting back to a normal life, so to speak. Everything is getting easier and I have a tiny bit of feeling back in some spots, but overall I'm still pretty numb. Honestly, I still can't believe I had the surgery, I look down and expect to see the huge roll but its gone. Still doesn't feel real yet I guess. Crazy day.

Patience is key. I'm four weeks po and my ps finally told me I could stop wearing my garment after this week. Don't feel bad about the pants I can't get in some of my pants/skirts either so yesterday I went to Burlington coat factory and got me two pair of maternity pants ONLY because the band was so soothing on my belly as opposed to wearing my pants/jeans with a belt (last time I did that I had so much swelling). Stay positive and happy healing.

I can not wait to hear those sweet sweet words, no more garment!!! Haha, it will be a good day! Patience is the key, for sure. I'm not the best with it, I'll be the first to admit. I have a demanding job that I have to start again on Thursday, lots of standing and walking. Fingers crossed it goes well. I was wondering about the jeans and belt on the incision, sounds a little painful. I looked at your photos, you look awesome!

Drain free and happy as can be!!
I'm so happy to have the drains gone! I can move so much better without worrying about them. I'm still getting tired fast, I'm home now and back to taking care of my two boys but they are being very helpful!! I have not one regret about this surgery, even though I'm still swollen and have very little feeling on my stomach, I already feel my self confidence rising!! I hope anyone who wants to have this done is able to!
