3 Months Later - Does anyone know the recommended time frame for scar supervision??

PO 3 Months
Tomorrow will be 15 weeks ... my incision is still red and also some areas are a little bumpy. (I know, in time it will naturally flatten out). I am still using the BioCorneum cream. I honestly, don't see any "magical" effect since using it back on Aug. 30th. After I use up this tube I will go back to using the Palmer's Vitamin E Skin Therapy Oil. Does anyone know how long we should continue scar supervision? I recall reading an article from a local PS and they indicated that too much can be harmful to a scar that is healing. Hmmm...
As for my belly button the incision is healed and still red/pinkish color. I had noticed last month, the stitch looks like it wants to come through. It's a small round bump on the tip of my BB. At my last, follow up the MA couldn't snip it since it hadn't come through the skin. So, I continue to massage it every day and wait for it to pop through.
As for my fitness routine, I continue to work on my runs and a month ago I had incorporated Pilates every day. Despite it all, I still wasn't losing any weight sure an inch in my arms and waist but that's it! You can imagine how frustrating that is; I mean it's been 3 months post-surgery & no weight loss!
You've heard of the saying.."Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" and since, I was never a breakfast person. I started to eat hot oatmeal it's been a month now and I am happy to say that I've lost 2 pounds! For me, that's an improvement. (My old eating habit wasn't the healthiest approach). My weight loss drive has been a very slow process. However, I am seeing changes in my body and I know consistency is the secret!
Also, I came to accept that flatter doesn't mean smaller either. I still deal with swelling the more I work on my abs the more swollen I get! I still have fat in my stomach so, when I suck my stomach in I can see the muscles. I got to remember healing will take 6 mos. to 1 year.
In the meantime, I will continue with making healthy eating choices and being consistent with my exercises.
Happy healing to all and good luck to those who are waiting!

I had forgotten to mention a few things during the healing process.
I sometimes can feel my nerves repairing and reconnecting itself. It feels like an electrical shooting spasmatic sensation in my lower incision area. It's not bothersome but when it happens I do notice it.
The skin puckering on both my left & right side is smoothing out slowly. The left side was the worst part and I can see improvements already. I massage the entire area in the AM & PM. I should remind myself to do it during the day too when I am laying around.
I had some technical difficulties uploading photos a few weeks ago, so I'm adding a few of 1 month PO. The last two are pics of me after my run today. Boy! what a difference from pre surgery to now. So, so blessed to be given the opportunity to have the TT done. No regrets what so ever! :-)

PO 2 Months

Hi,
I hope you are all doing well and for those who have gone through surgery; I wish you well & a quick recovery:)
It's been a while since I last updated my page... I can hardly believe its 2 months for us 6/29ers!!
Was anyone having issues with viewing pics a few weeks back?
Took a weekend getaway with the fam last weekend; hung out at the pool all day and just chilled! I wore a tankini. I am still working on losing 15 more pounds, my weight loss saga has been slow and steady. I am just so happy to be active again! I cherish the alone time I get when I am out running. My 9 year old begs to go with all the time, sometimes I do cave in and let him join me. On days when I don't feel like running, I'll pop in a dvd and we'll do Insanity together. I'm glad to see that he takes a strong interest in being active & healthy:-)
As for my TT incision, it continues to heal nicely at week 4 I had a tiny scab that didn't fall off on its own. So, I rubbed it off and when doing so noticed that I had a stich pop out. At first, I didn't really know what it was so, I took a tweezer and gently yanked on it and saw the clear stitch. I was too nervous to pull any further. My followup was the following day anyway so; I had the MA snip it off for me.
For scar supervision, I've read other people's success stories with Palmer's Vitamin E Skin Therapy Oil . So, I wanted to give it a try as well.
At 6 weeks, I started the scar treatment twice daily (AM & PM). Once applied, I made sure to really massage my incision and my belly button. I wanted to try to break up the roughness of the scar so when it heals it will flatten out and even out. I finished the bottle on Wednesday night. I really didn't see any changes so, I decided to try the product that my PS mentioned to me the last time I saw him called; BioCorneum + SPF 30 (keep in mind this stuff is pricey), I started it yesterday (Thurs.) its really concentrated so just 5 tiny pumps and it goes a long way! So again, once applied I just massage my incision and my belly button.
It claims to also work on old scars too, I have a couple of childhood immunization scars on my upper forearms that I am using this on too just to test it out. The directions says on new scars use for 3 months and on old scars for 6 months. I'll wait to see if this stuff is as good as it claims to be!
I still wear my CG but now only during the day. Even though, I am not swelling that much I feel more comfortable with it on. I was thinking of ditching it at 2 months PO but, we'll see how much weight I lose in September.
I've been running 5 days a week and really haven't lost weight since I started at week 4 however, I have noticed that I've lost inches. I'm being patient with my progress and taking the slow & steady approach. My big goal is to get strong enough to run AND complete a 5K! Then maybe onto a half marathon:-)
I will have some new pics posted hopefully by tonight if not for sure the weekend:)
I wish all well and please have a safe Labor Day weekend!!
