Good Morning all! I haven't updated in a while. Honestly there hasnt been much to report. I have really had a pretty uneventful recovery. I am back to my running and work out regimen. I was pretty apprehensive doing core work outs at first but it wasnt as bad at I thought. At my 4 month PO check there was some scaring around my belly button so my PS injected a steroid into the scar tissue and that softened up and is now flat!!
This is truly the best thing that I have ever done for myself. The way that it has changed the way that I view myself and the confidence that I have back is incredible!! I no longer cringe when I or my husband looks at me naked!!

Just a quick update- I had my first photo shoot since my surgery yesterday! I am really glad I took a month off to recover. I was so wiped out! Normally I have no problem keeping up with a 6 month old and a 3 year old! I was a little stiff this morning when I woke up but I am sure it was just because I was using muscles that I haven't used in a while! I have been doing some exercising but not like when I am in a photo shoot. All it well tonight!!

Happy Healing!!!

I'm In MN too. Going in for my procedures on 5/25. Soo excited. I just read your post on your in-laws visiting to "help" out and the mess and I laughed. That is so funny because my in-laws are slobs! I'm not telling them because I don't want them to come over and "help". I tell you, if I didn't clean, no one in my home will I'm seriously considering getting a maid over once or twice after my surgery because I know my hubby won't be able to handle that and four kids!

1 Month PO!!! I am feeling really good. I went in to my PS for my 1 month check and he is very pleased with my progress. He wants me to start to ween myself out of my shape wear and be completely out of it by the next time I go see him. I can start with some light work outs, I miss my runs.
I don't have to see him again until I am at 2 months.
The Girls are starting to soften and not feel as painful. I still have a lot of numbness on my left side. Hopefully that will get better.

Happy Healing All!!
