My scar healed perfect as far as I'm concerned as I said before I have no intention of a bikini. Because I had the stomach muscle tightened, I still to this day feel like I have a corset on. I don't mind the tightness too much but even after almost a year, i still feel it.
I'm happy with the results of my abdominoplasty. I remain a size 12 but thats ok by me, I'm 5'6" so a size 12 is a good look on me. Good luck ladies

so my little spot that was oozing turned into a big spot oozing. Went to see the surgeon and she poked around and said its not really an infection as much as a "suture reaction". so theres a stitch in there thats bugging me and when I see it I'm to pull on it gently and cut it off. hahaha, good thing I'm not squeemish.

Going back a bit I don't think I ever told ya'll what I did to help with healing and I do believe it helped big time. Not only did I take the meds prescribed I drank sugar free protein drinks everyday. Apparently protein is a natural way to promote healing. just thought I'd share that. I wish there was a "dissolve the stitches " drink!!

So I am not feeling as tight anymore, only when I stretch in the morning do I really feel it. I can arch my back without feeling like I'm gonna pop something.I still have the little swollen bump, I think I'll have that for a long time.

Ok thats it for now.

well, its almost 4 months, I feel great, however, I still can't stretch in the morning without just a tinge of uncomfort. I can't lay on my stomach and put my elbows up either. but I know this will improve overtime. my "hard" spots have softened but are still there. time...time....time...
