Cannot stress how worth it this procedure was! I bought 3 new bikini, first since before my daughter 9 years ago. I have so much more confidence and I just generally happier. Can't say enough good things about Dr. Brooks and his staff as well.

This has been the best decision I've ever made! I'm back to all my normal activities including kickboxing and I stopped wearing the compression garments all together. I've started getting Lazer therapy on the BBC scar as well (Dr. Brooks' office includes two sessions with the surgery cost). I went shopping for myself yesterday and for the first time in years it was actually fun! Wish I had done this years ago! !

Looks great. Your tummy is so smooth too. I wish I didn't have to of had the vertical scar, but, still an improvement on before.
Getting new clothes is a joy!
Congrats.

Things are much better than last week. I've been sleeping in my bed the last few nights (yay!) and I've decided to just stick with the binder from the hospital rather than be uncomfortable in Spanx. At my follow up I was told I should wear the binder full time until the 6 week mark and then part time for the next 2 weeks after that. I was also given the ok to start light cardio ( I immediately went home and cleaned my house!!). I stepped on the scale this morning and I'm down 8 pounds since surgery day! My only concern right now is that belly button is getting squished in the binder and is becoming less of the oval I had at first. Has anyone else done the marble therapy? I might call and ask today. The pics I posted are from this morning. Happy day!

Your belly button is beautiful. You look further along than 3.5 weeks. Looking great!

Looking great!!! Hopefully I can start some light cardio after my appt next week!

Thanks, so are you! I did walk on the treadmill today, just 2 miles to test it out plus I have a lot of running around to do today. I don't know about you, but I get a stabbing in my abdomen if I do too much.

I got cleared this week for light cardio so did abt 30 min at the gym today. Felt good to back! I didn't get Amy stabbing pains but I can deff tell my endurance is down and now I have some swelling :(

Same thing here. I'm trying not to over do it, so I'm walking on my treadmill with 5lb weights (every quarter mile I do shoulders) and I've also been doing body-weight squats and lunges every other day.

This week I am seven weeks and the uncomfy spanx just became my cg of choice! I went and bought a second one! It's amazing the changes and stages! So keep the spanx! You'll probably love it later :) you look great!!!

I have been in spanx now for three days all during the day but when I get home from work I put the orig cg back (still feels good after a day off sitting at a desk!) on until bedtime. Then I sleep in compression tank. So far so good!
