looking good girl! Wish mine was looking as good as yours! I don't know what's going on with mine. I look pregnant 24/7. My swelling doesn't seem to go down at all anymore ):

I never really had that issue, i get more all around swelling when i eat too much or before my period....i never got the incision swelling..but ive been massaging from week two....i use a hot water bottle to help soften the scar and break down any remaining absorbable staples 20 mins then massage it good...circles deep in there, use the pubic bone to rub it against and squeezing it in between your fingers......idk..maybe your scar tissue is impeding lymph flow....breaking it down...the above mentioned way and wearing a tight binder at night should help, i always take hot baths and massage everywhere on my belly, especially places that feel stiffer....hope the helps..try the uva ursi too....but its not a long term herb

I've been having some trouble with updates on my RS blog (or it could just be MY "extensive" RS blog that's rejecting them) but I thought I'd post a little message on everyone's blog I've been following to keep in touch... so MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR! In case you haven't been on in a while, I hope you are healing well and may you enjoy your new transformation as the best gift to yourself for this holiday! :)

Mine looks different or your pic is blurry so I can't tell! LOL! ;p Yours looks like a button. Mine's just as small - I'm thankful that's O'Toole's style. But mine has gone thru different "phases" and changed shape multiple times. Now it's small like yours, a button, but has some separated nodules - sectioned out. I like it better than what it looked like before marble therapy (but marble therapy makes it a weird hollow shape). *sigh*... guess I'll just wait... Thx for the pix tho.

HI!!!!Did those stretch marks go away? they kinds looked like they were from the CG. Sounds like you are doing everything preventative possible. I have noticed some new stretch marks too and have been slathering myself in lotion daily! I think the BB is cute. its tiny. Let me know your review on the homeo concoctions your taking . :)

No they didnt but the remedies are helping ..im also using forces of nature stretch mark therapy oil...and calendula oil...they have at least stopped growing ...my mom has a red light so im using that too...they are already beginning to lighten.....they arent too bad....make sure your taking gelatin that will help and vitamin c...it was a mineral,boron that i started taking three days before for my ankle pain that i believe did it..boron increasing collagenase which breaks down collagen....helps arthritis but i forgot about the bad part...too coincidental...last time i took too much i got eye wrinkles....ahhhh...le sigh....at least i caught them early i still cant believe i got so many in like an hour...geesh...im special......i dont think ill get anymore....um i hope....no more boron ...: p
