Pretty much back to normal, still have pain sometimes.
As expected, sometimes I'm still having pain, weird sensations probably due to nerve regeneration. Also, my inner thighs are still sore from the lipo, and as you'll see in the photos, still lumpy and bumpy. My PS said it may take months for them to completely heal and become smaller. I'm still happy with them, and my expectations are realistic.
The small hole on my back closed shut, so now I'm completely healed all the way around. But I'm still on the look out for any reopenings due to "stitch spitting." The incisions that were on my inner thighs from the lipo each spit their stitches, so I know it's a possibility with my body lift incision as well.
Other than that, still trying to take it easy. Did a light 3 mile jog on my treadmill the other day and I felt great. Felt like I could do 3 more! I was surprised at how much my energy and endurance went up after having 12lbs removed. It's amazing. :-)

Almost a month post op, still swollen
I'm back to work now, considering it was my long week (3-12 hour midnights in a row) I did fine. I'm off today, and I'm exhausted. I slept in until after noon. My body is obviously still recovering.
Otherwise I feel okay. My incision is healing well, except there's this one small spot on my back that is still scabbed and its leaking clear fluid. I'm not too concerned about it though.
I'm posting new pics to show there isn't much difference between a weeks time. I'm maybe slightly less swollen but not much.

I guess it really does get better. :-)
It's been a long few weeks but this weekend was the best I felt in a while. Had another appointment, Doctor says I'm healing wonderfully. The small spot of fluid on my back he's not concerned about, and said the body will reabsorb it. Got new photos taken, and once all my swelling has subsided, I will get more taken. After that, they will put together a "progress collage" of before and afters for me to take home. Looking forward to that.
After my appointment I went and got a much needed mani/pedi. Man was I in HEAVEN. After these past few weeks, that was the best I ever felt.
The rest of the weekend was spent enjoying myself, shopping and relaxing without the kids around. And I really needed that.
Tried on a pair of my presurgery jeans, and while they aren't much looser in the waist because of swelling, the crotch area where I used to have to stuff my "mothers apron" in was baggy! Hard to believe I had that much overhang.
Took some new photos this morning. It's the flattest I have ever seen my belly so far. The morning is the best time for pics!
Still trying to get my energy levels back. By end of day I'm exhausted! And swollen...

Very pleasant, caring, good bedside manners, attentive. He is an artist, my incision lines are perfectly placed, he made my tummy so flat and my body still has a curvy shape. I would recommend him to anyone looking for plastic surgery.
