Extended Thigh Lift with a Tummy Tuck After a Long Weight Loss Journey

Sorry for the delayed update, I meant to post at 4 weeks but, got so busy with life.
Well I have made it to week 5 and I feel so much better in fact, almost back to normal. Have adjusted to working full-time now and my legs seem to swell less. This week I started exercising and although nowhere near back to normal I managed to walk 2 miles three days in a row. I was definitely exhausted by the time I got home but, not really swollen as a result of the exercise.
Still have the pesky opening but, it's pretty close to closing up and is only open on the surface.
I love my legs and even though still swollen some they look much better than before. All the hanging flabby skin is gone!!
As far as my stomach goes I'm told it's still really swollen and I can tell that one side is more swollen than the other but, I expected it to be much flatter by now. Hopefully it goes down more but, only time will tell.
One of my legs is much tighter than the other which makes it less flexible but, I'm sure it will loosen up over time.
Had a couple of stitches poke out in my legs this week but, just pulled and they came right out.
Next week I will start going back to the gym so wish me luck!!
Still wearing the compression garment for another 3weeks and I'm used to it now and like how it makes me feel much more secure. Sleeping much better now and I can adjust like I used to in the bed. I can almost forget how horrible I felt at the beginning of recovery, now here I am.

Here's the pictures I tried to post with the last update. No more tape either, yay!!!! Hope the abdomen is still just really swollen!!!

Today I woke up and felt like a normal person kinda. I'm finally getting more mobility back especially in the abdominal area. All the tape is off my abdomen and legs and the incisions look amazing!! I'm very pleased with how things are turning out. I still have a small opening but it seems to be closing or at least it's not getting bigger. I think I still walk kinda funny because the inner thighs are still swollen or at least feel that way. I can finally laugh and cough now but, no way will I try to sneeze yet lol. I can now kinda see a difference but, I'm still really swollen especially in the abdomen. I can see a change but, not a lot in the abdomen and i really hope it does go down more. I still have to sleep with a pillow between my legs since it's still uncomfortable to try to close my legs. I also still use the female urinal and probably will for at least another week or two. Still keeping my feet elevated when I can and not doing too much so I can continue to recover. I included a few pictures so everyone who's following can see where I'm currently at!! Thanks to everyone in this village for all the words of encouragement, tips and ideas, they are so greatly appreciated and words can never express my gratitude. Love you guys ????????
