2 months PO
Wow! I can't believe I am 2 months PO. Things are moving along really great. I almost have all of the feeling back in my tummy. I am sleeping on my sides but have not yet started to sleep on my tummy. I have also started back working out and I am loving it! I will start back working my abs this week as well! Life is good! HAPPY Healing everyone!!
1 month post op
I am officially 1 month post op and i feel great! I am pretty flat in the morning when I wake up but in the afternoons i start experiencing swelling. I am happy this far with my results. I still wear my binder at night when I go to bed and I also wear a faja...during the day after I get off work up until bed time. I have started doing light exercise such as walking. I am eagerly awaiting the moment tthat I can start back working out vigorously. My next post op appointment is on February 7 and i am hoping to start scar treatment at that time. Happy healing everyone!
Progress!
Wow...what a difference a couple of days make. Recovery is going good and I don't have any complaints. I went to my post op appointment on yesterday and my doctor is very pleased with my progress. I am still experiencing swelling and hardness around my abdomen. I know with time it will decrease. Here is an updated pic of my incision scar without the steri strips. My doctor changed them out yesterday and cleaned the scar. It felt really good. I was also give a massage and a skin tightening regimen where he put some type of gel on my abdomen and flanks and applied heat with a machine that gently massaged the gel into my skin. There is a name for this procedure but I can't think of it right now. Happy healing everyone!

Dr. Hamel and his staff were and still continue to be awesome! I would most definitely recommend him.
