Feel awesome at 6 weeks!
Time is going so fast! I can't believe it's almost 6 weeks since my tummy tuck. My scar is healing nice and flat. I'm cleared to work out just no ab work. I still have a lot of swelling but I couldn't be happier with my results so far!
Another Post-Op Appt Today
Today I was supposed to have the steri strips removed but I was able to peel them all off in the shower yesterday! So all we did today was an ultrasound to check for blood clots. Negative on that!!! I'm feeling great. I'm pretty much upright, although by the end of the day I feel more hunched than at the beginning. I'm not complaining. This has been a lot easier recovery than I was expecting :-)
It's up to me if I want to wear the binder anymore. I do like that it gives me extra support but might see how I feel tomorrow without it. All I do for my scar is put neosporin on it and gauze. It's still numb but sensitive.
Monday I go to have the belly button stitches removed and then I don't think I'll go back for another month or so but I'm not sure.
I hope you are alll hanging in there and as excited about bikini season as I am!!!

Bring on 2014!
I got an apology this morning before he left for work and I gave him an apology too. This is a hard recovery, especially when you are a very independent and self-sufficient person. It's been difficult for all of us to have mommy not be able to do things that I usually do. On top of that, two kids have been puking for two days, my husband has to get new truck tires which puts him back about a grand, and our roof started leaking yesterday from all the melting snow and we have major water damage. He also had to take down the tree by himself which made a huge mess and was an even more unpleasant experience than usual.
My advice going thru this would be have patience with your body and your family. I didn't really think about how this would affect them and how worried my husband would be about me going thru this major surgery, I was just so excited to have my body back. I guess I thought it would be hardest on me. But that may not be the case at all. This is a life changing experience for everybody, inside and out! Keeping my eyes on the prize and taking it one day at a time!

Provider Review
I knew I wanted Dr. Swanson to do my surgery right after I met him. I felt like he listened to what I was really saying and wanting and his staff was very friendly and welcoming to everyone in the office.
