I feel like my body is cut in half. (yes, I know it basically was) What I mean is when I rub my hand along the scar either vertically or horizontal it feels like it's not even my own body. What a weird feeling. Is there anyone who is past this point in the recovery? Also I am getting a spasam of the mucesals that were sewn together. Closer to the top then the bottom. Just wondering if anyone else has had this.

I just got back from my check up with my ps. All is well. I would say I am about 90% back to normal. My daily activities are 100%..kids, work, house work etc. As far as the gym goes I would say am 90%. I am really into yoga and the only thing I am unable to do is anything that has to do with back bends. I was told that the muscles are so tight right now that it will take time for them to relax. Also I was told that there is still swelling in my stomach area. The scare for the tt is as thin as a pencil line, but red. I have been using a wooden massage thing from bath and body works to break up the scare tissue. It has 4 round wooden balls on it that smoothly rubs the scare tissue when I use it with vitamin E.
I know there are many of you that are either not sure if they did the right thing, or if they should do it. For me it was life changing. I love the results. The guilt of the money and time away from your family/responsibilities will disappear with in a month or two. I will post pictures later on tonight.
I hope all it will with everyone.

So its just a little over 4 weeks. I am still wearing this garment 24/7 along with a tummy tucker type underwear. I feel great for the most part. The only thing is I wasn't sure if I should still be wearing this garment 24/7. I have read a lot on here that many of you felt you were dependent on it and I am trying to make sure that I don't end up that way. What do you guys think? Should I only wear it at night or just during the day?
I also desperately want to go back to my yoga. Its my one and only true mind/body cleansing and I miss it. Is there any yogies out there, whats your advice?

PS said I didn't need to wear mine after 4 weeks. However, I am 12 weeks out now and find that wearing mine at night still makes a difference. Not much, but enough of a difference for me.
I returned to my Zumba classes and learned that I needed to take it slow with the stretching exercises. I felt some pulling and had some pain after the first class, but have worked through it at this point.

I have been thinking about going in for a consult. I just had my 3rd C-section in March, so I am 8mos. post op, and still breastfeeding. My stomach looks horrible...almost like I am pregnant again because I have distasis recti and now a huge orange size hernia right above my c-section incision. My question is...how long do I have to wait before doing this surgery?? I can't take how I look and feel...like I have a cow utter hanging. What to do. I have heard that some of the surgery can be covered by insurance because of the hernia issue. Is this true? My breasts aren't too bad (still breastfeeding), but some perkiness would be nice. I too, would also like a labia reduction and pubic lift or something...it is sagging kind of down there. LOL Thanks for any input.

I was cleared to wear spanx at 6 weeks but I continued to wear binder till around 8 weeks. Made a world of a difference w swelling for me ! Especially at night . But it really depends
On how you feel. After about 3 weeks your muscles have healed to the abdominal wall ( ps said to me) but he preferred I wore binder as much as
Possible and it
Did help me ! I was one of those who got attached to it lol!

My weight is down by 5 lbs but when I tried some pants on, I couldn't button them. My ps said it takes some time for the swelling to go away especially around the lipo area. Have patience, is what he said to me! I am still wearing my binder (3 weeks out) but have been gradually loosening it. You look great!

I've heard that the upper belly swelling is normal. Here's what some doctors have to say about that.
