3 Kids and a T.T. - Massachusetts

I am 8 weeks 2 days and i feel good.It still hurts when I sneeze or cough.I still can't sit straight up if laying on my back but aside from that I am pretty much back to normal. Also, I have some skin that still needs to stretch a little more because it pulls,but everything else has stretched nicely.I just added my 5 week pics. Hope they help.

Today is 5 weeks and 2 days post op. I had my appointment with the PS yesterday and he was really pleased with how I'm coming along.He even let me get rid of my binder.At the end of this month he is going to start a laser treatment on my scar to lighten it.I also, have been cleared of restrictions so i can get back to my normal routine.I went out and bought 2 bikinis yesterday to celebrate :)

so today is 4 weeks and 2 days. i haven't been on here as much but figured i was do for an update...lol.I still have really sore stomach muscles, especially when i cough or sneeze and they still spasm on me. I'm getting a little concerned because i don't know if if this is normal this far into the process. I'll see my PS next week and ask him then. I'm afraid I'll never be able to laugh, cough or sneeze normal again. Also i feel a pulling sensation where they are sutured together and i hope that goes away too. The skin on my stomach that is not numb used to be super sensitive like a sunburn and that is calming down a little bit so that is good. I do have some sutures that are poking through my incision but the PS said he will take care of them when i see him next week.I do find that i have been more tired than my usual self lately and i need power naps which I've never done in my life. All in all i do feel good.I still need the skin to stretch a little bit more to get my complete movement back but it is much better.Now i just can't wait to get rid of this binder and I'll be good.
