A Month
I'm actually enjoying my healing journey. I've been somewhat clean eating. The doctor allowed me to start the scar treatment process. I was given the Biocorneum Cream to start place on the scar after I'm done showering in the morning and at night. I also rub my tummy with BioOil and Coconut Oil. I couldn't be more happier!
Feeling Good
I'm 17 Days Post and absolutely enjoying my decision. In the beginning, I read a lot of the RealSelf Sisters comments to mentally and physically prepare myself and it worked. I went to the doctor this past Friday to have my stitches removed from my belly button and didn't feel them at all. I'm really impressed with my results. I started this at 157 and now I'm down to 150. I eat clean and I also take CLA by GNC. I can't wait to get back in the gym to enhance my definition.
First Drain Removed
Today, I went in and had one of the drains (right side) removed. Thanks to another RS sister, I took her advice and took some pain meds prior to arriving to my doctor's appointment and watched the nurse take it out. It feels really comfortable now with only one. I have a follow-up appointment on Friday morning to have the left drain removed. I'm still walking hunched over which is highly recommended until the 2 week post op. Even though I feel like I can walk straight up, it's just a lot of strain on my lower back. I do believe working out prior to my surgery helped me a lot during this recovery time. I also took a full shower last night which was amazing!
Provider Review
He was very thorough and sincere about the procedure from day one. He is a perfectionist which I loved about it but also realistic about my potential results. His nurse is amazing and so friendly!
