Nine weeks and going good.

Can't believe today is my nine weeks mark. I'm feeling good, still a little numb and a little tight at times. I started back at the gym two weeks ago, but haven't gotten into a routine at school yet. Oh my goodness though, my hamstrings were so tight. This was making my back sore, but definitely related to the Ty as i couldn't stretch or strengthen my abs or glutes. For the most part I don't think about my tummy now.

On am interesting note, I ran into a teacher who was a colleague once and my daughter's teacher last year. She said I looked good and when I said I'd had a tummy tuck, she said she'd had one eight years ago. Only problem for her was that she'd stacked on 10kg!

My gym assessor who is also her assessor snorted later and said that my colleague had stacked on the weight because over the holidays she'd been drinking 1-2 bottles of wine a day! There's a lesson in that girls!

I've added some pics. The ripples have gone as my stitches dissolved. My only concern is that my scar line is definitely higher on my right hip and my hips look uneven as a result

6 weeks post op

I'm going to have to drop down to writing once a week or less. Monday was my six week mark and I'm feeling pretty good. School started for me yesterday and the kids return tomorrow so I will be pretty busy. It's also good because life goes on, and my recovery is no longer my top priority.

Hubby and I managed to get back into the swing of things in the bedroom last week when the kids had a sleepover at Nana's. I was fine but the numbness of the tummy will be something I need to adjust to.

I'm also having quite bad backaches particularly at the end of the day or if I've been standing too long. I have worked out the tight hamstrings can cause this by pulling on the pelvis and also by having a weaker core. I desperately need to get to the gym, I just don't seem to have any time at the moment....

Bathers pic - finally!

Hubby took this photo yesterday. I don't think it's a flattering photo, but then it is so much better than what it would have been!

Howard Webster was excellent in his pre-operative appointments taking the time I needed to answer my questions and explain the procedures that would be best suited to me. I never needed to phone or email him directly, but his personal assistant, Tracy, was always helpful whenever I called her. After my procedure, the waiting times for the follow up appointment times were not the best, one appointment had an hour waiting time before hand for a five minute appointment. I don't know whether this was due to the 'holiday' period or if this is normal, but it is hard when you make an effort to be on time yourself.
