I'm at the five week mark. No real change in appearance but I am back in the gym. There is still some discomfort so lower body and ab work is not really happening.

My only desire is that my swelling will cease and I will see the results I so desperately need.

Here's to entering week 6

Hooray week 4

It's been a good week. Started back to the gym for cardio, light weight training of chest and arms. I'm avoiding any exercises that require too much core for obvious reasons. That being said, I think things are coming along well.

I'm still swollen but I'm just praying that the swelling will go away and I will have a much smaller abdomen. Sometimes I feel like I haven't changed much and that plays tricks with my mind.

Prayers up for greater success.

Today is my three week anniversary lol. Feeling good and standing upright finally. I'm fiening to hit the gym. My scar is looking dark but I hope it will fade nicely. I started using bio-oil per suggestions on this site

Hey looking good! Happy healing!
Thanks man. How's it going for you?
Not Bad! Just trying to keep healing and stay positive... The swelling has been the worst part of it for me.
Yeah the swelling can play tricks on you. Stay strong
