I promise to come back and update you on my journey over the lasr year once i get to a computer. But here are my before and afters (ill also get a more thorough pic of my scare etc. :-)
A few days shy of three months post op
Quick update...a bit shy of three months post op, I still have slight reminders of my surgery...sitting straigh up from laying in a flat position feels like I've done 15 quick sit ups. When I lay in my sides for an extended amount of time, my sides begin to ache. My biggest quirk is still the swelling...almost any activity makes me swell...walking for an extended amount of time... belly laughs....slight exercise...and boom...pregnant belly. There has not been one day since surgery that I've gotten a chance to enjoy a "flat stomach". Even if I start out that way, 10 times outta 10, I'll be swollen within the hour. So my idea of surgery, then instant flat...yeah ..not realistic...
Although it does feel great not to have the belly laying on my thighs!
Ill update soon....pictures are attached (day of surgery, two days after surgery and then about three months post op.

progress...
JUST A really quick update! I'm a few days short of two months post up. The aches and pains have mostly subsided. I had some severe burning sensations on the left side of my stomach about 2 weeks ago. My surgeon explained that the stitches were still dissolving and that may be causing the burning sensation. He prescribed these medicated pads used on people with shingles....whewwwww..what a life saver! I used them once... haven't had an issue since. I can lay in my bed comfortably...although it still takes more effort and calculation to get out. My incision is healed..still an insy bity sore in the sides...but nothing horrible. Swelling continues!! Most days I'm alright while getting ready for work...but after taking that walk from the train station and to my office....I start feeling the stomach tense up...swelling starts and before 11am...I look all of 6 months pregnant :-\ So...I really haven't had a complete day of flatness...but I know that this is all a part of the process.
I attached my day if surgery photo and an after from this morning...chat soon :-)
