Just a quick update. I am nearly 9 months post op, and feeling pretty much 100% normal. The scare is healing well, and the results are great. I expect the scare will really start to improve now we are getting closer to 12 months. One updated pic attached.
Seeing the surgeon next week for a check up!

3 Months Post Op - So yesterday I passed 3 months post op. I am so happy with the results, and every week they just get better. Still can't do EVERYTHING at the gym, generally the things which require a lot of stretching or pulling are still out of reach (like pull ups, clean & snatch etc). But I am easily doing sit ups, dips, bench press, rowing, running, kettle bell swings etc.

I still find a get a bit swollen above the incision, though nothing like it used to be.

The incision itself is healed, and definitely in the darkening stage, but I am confident it will heal very nicely.

My belly button is starting to look really good, now that the small scar is starting to fad.

In terms of feeling/sensation - things are starting to come back. I still have a level of numbness between my belly button and the incision, but I am really starting to get feeling which is good.

Two new pics posted - my abdominal muscles are starting to come through! :D

I was recommended to Dr. Bloom by my previous Cosmetic Surgeon (Liposuction). Dr. Bloom is well known for his work in re-constructive surgery and body sculpting. He is also the National Board Chairman in Plastic Surgery for the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons - which gives me confidence in his practice, skills and capability. I met with 2 other surgeons and felt Dr. Bloom was the most professional and had a far more personal touch. Dr. Bloom put in the time to really explain everything in detail and I was always made to feel welcome in his suites and no question was a 'silly question'. The support staff at ARC Plastic Surgery have been excellent to deal with, they are knowledgeable of the procedures, understanding of the process and always willing to take the time to talk things through.
