Post op day 18

WORTH IT$5,000
I already updated once tonight, but it didnt "take", so I guess I did something wrong ;) So I am now post op day 18, and my first day back at work is this Friday. I am looking forward to seeing my coworkers again, but I must say I have enjoyed the time off. I have worked all my life, and it was good to stay home and just do what I wanted to do with my time. Si if anyone plans to use these silicone scar strips, let me give you a heads up. They are easy to clean...I wash them with a non-lotion soap and stick them right back on and dry the outer cloth-like side with a towel while they are on place on my belly. It took me a couple of days to get the hang of them, but I am a pro with them now. I leave them on 24 hours a day and just take them off to shower. I wear my famous Walmart compression panties to hold them in place, but even without the panties on (during "extracurricular activities") I haven't lost one yet. All in all, I am feeling good as new, back to running 3.2 miles 3 times a week, and I am looking forward to my first night back in aerobics class tomorrow night. Again, it gets better every day! Thanks wonderful ladies, for sharing all the ups and downs, tips and encouragements!!

The doctor made me feel very confident about having this done, and also about his ability to perform both procedures. I have also seen his female PA and feel extremely comfortable with her. I was seen shortly after my arrival for my appointments, and the staff is very friendly. The staff member that worked with me on the paymentf of my part of the surgery was very helpful, and the payment process was easy and straightforward without any "surprises". Of course, the worst part of the pre-surg visit was stripping down totally naked and posing in 5 different directions in front of a camera on a tripod with those professional lights showing every ripple. God, so embarrasing!!!!!

Have you run yet without the binder? If so, how was it? Any swelling after?

Thanks TTLatina. I wish my incision were a bit lower, but it's not as if I am going to be showing any more skin than that on the beach! I can't wait till it lightens up, though.

Sweet Nothings shapewear by Maidenform at WalMart (photos)

phoenix53February 17, 2014
I figured out how to add these photos of the shapewear from WalMart that I have been talking about. The name is Sweet Nothings by Maidenform and the two pair I have posted cost $4.94 for the brief, and $6.94 for the boy cut. The may work fine for some of you all if you don't want to spend the $$ on the Spanx brand.
