Update healing process
BTTBNovember 10, 2020
Also would like to mention that since my back is feeling better each day I do feel my stomach area more and more for instance there is a pulling sensation in the middle of my stomach with a bit of pain sometimes worse then other times. Kinda of feels different (tight/pulling/pinchthrob). To me it makes me feel like this is we’re the stiches are. Also your stomach will be numb/tight as well. It is easier and more comfortable for me to breath with the binder on cause I don’t feel like everything will pop open. Don’t be alarmed if you have to teach yourself to rebreather because I sure had to. :) I would also recommend stool softeners the first week but would check with the surgeon first for both of the above.
For my peeps that also has anxiety do not google everything ask the surgeon or team if you have concerns. Trust me it does not lead down a great path.. I might have done this a couple times for the pully/throby pain and the results were just not ideal. I have to keep telling myself that I everything is cool and to be very patient with the healing process.

Hi! Dr. Taleisnik also did my mommy makeover 12 days ago. I can walk and stand straight most of the time but have a lot of pulling/tight feeling in the middle of my stomach and a lot around my incision. Does it hurt or just still tight at 3 weeks? I also find myself saying be patient and hoping this is worth it.

Hello! I do still have the tight pulling feeling especially when I am going for my walks or sit up straight for long periods of time. It has eased up around the incision which is amazing (the first shower I took I felt like I would pop open if I took to deep of a breath.) The tightness/pulling does make me nervous because of course my anxiety mind goes to the worse possible outcomes. However I do keep telling myself to be patient and if I have concerns to bring it up at the next appointment or just email/ask the office. I currently just started to work from home again so I notice my stomach is tight or achy after I get off work and I am only working part time but I do heal on the slower side. On the plus side I can giggle or slightly laugh without my muscles feeling tensed and pained. Little victories!! Also I can drive now so that felt amazing as well. However if I feel tired I still go and rest to not push it for myself.

Thanks BTTB. I am trying to work on stretching my stomach muscles so I can stand straight. Since I am still standing slightly hunched over my lower back starts to hurt after sometime. The past two days have been much better strengthwise but that lower back pain is tough. Looking forward to seeing more updates. Cheers to a quick and smooth recovery!

It took me almost three weeks to stand straight :) definitely was super tight. Right now I have a little swelling above the TT scar line. Patience, patience, patience.. lol

Also if you want to get fitted for different bra and compression garments once allowed you can make an appointment at Bra Gardens in Huntington Beach. Then you don’t have to guess with online sizes :)
