3 Weeks PO

Hello, I was 3 weeks po yesterday. Wow time is flying by! I'm just getting over a cold and am thanking the lord that I didn't get it earlier as I would have been in excruciating pain from sneezing and coughing. Being 3 weeks out this cold didn't hurt a bit! ;) Other than my cold I am still feeling good. I'm still swollen but that is going down too as time goes on. I can't wait to see the final results and to start excersizing. I started my scar therapy yesterday, for my tt incision i'm using the silicon gel sheets that I ordered online, and for my belly button silicon gel sheets that I got from Target that are way cheaper but smaller. The tt gel sheets are over $100 so once that wears off i'm just going to use the ones for my belly button but use several obviously. My incision area is still hard and there is also hard areas around my tummy and hips but PS said I could start massaging them and I think that has been working some. Oh, and I don't have to wear my binder at night anymore so I am sleeping much more compfortably. I bought spanx now that I can wear during the day time too and that makes me look less swollen than I did in my binder, plus more comfortable too. I will post more pictures as soon as some more swelling goes down. Oh and just the one day of wearing the gel sheets I can barely see my scar!! WOO HOO!! Hope you all have an amazing day!

Today I'm 2 PO. I'M feeling really good but am still swollen & achy a little bit from the bruising & healing of incision. I would do this again if I had to . The recovery was a lot easier than I thought it would be . The worst part of this whole experience was the worrying about what could go wrong before I even had the surgery . My advise is to not worry a about any "what ifs" as u will d drive yourself crazy lol. This surgery & recovery were a piece of cake !!!
