Most recent news, the doc doesn't like how my scar turned out, so will be doing a revision in February. As long as it loosens up by then, it will be an in office procedure. Here's to hoping I have a nice flat and thin line soon! :)

6 month-ish check-in!
Hey y'all, I know it been forever. Things are going well and I'm still loving my belly! My scars have had a hard time healing compared to most, but I still wouldn't go back, I still would have had it done. At my 6 month check-up, my PS shot my scars up with steroids to soften them up and hopefully reduce the ridges. I think it has helped the redness around my belly button too. I will take a new pic in a couple weeks!
I am super excited to say that I PRd my half marathon in June by 14 minutes! I also competed in my first Sprint Triathlon, something I would have never done because of my 'flap'. I have a second half of the year in a few weeks, and hope to do one more before the year is done. Now that I have the belly I worked so hard for 3 years to get, I will not let it sag again..at least until I'm like 80 ;-P

You look fab! Thanks for posting. It's good to see other active ladies ahead of me to look forward to more improvement as time goes. Sometimes the lingering swelling gets old. Was just able to finally run 3 miles today without my belly getting hard as a rock. Glad to hear you ran a half so soon after your TT!

***14 weeks***
So here I am a little over 3 months since surgery! Still love having a flat belly, even if it isn't healing as fast as others. I went in a few weeks ago because my belly button just wasn't healing. So she told me to stop massaging it. It is now finally closed! YAY! But I have quite a bit of scar tissue built up there. I will go back in a couple months for a steroid shot to help break it up. For now, I am to return to massaging it, just more gently.
I am very pale, so as you can see, I will be red for a while. Pretty sure it took a couple years for my c-section scar to fade.
I have been back to my regular crazy exercise for about a month now. I lift heavy 2 or 3 days a week, and run 3 days a week :) I love that my belly doesn't jiggle around anymore!
I am still numb from the belly button down to my scar. My pubic area is still puffy and swollen, it's about the only place I experience swelling. Hopefully that will go away, and then bring my scar down a tad.
I am running a half marathon at the end of June, so I am busy training for that!
