Hey team!
Back in the gym full time now. Started doing low weight deadlifts and squats again and it's magical. Not too much issue with most exercises, I'm still avoiding rotation stuff just to be on the safe side for a few more weeks.
I do however still have very sharp pain in the middle of my incision at the front when I cough or sneeze. There is very definitely a lump there, almost like scar tissue so not sure what that's about but I'll keep an eye on it.
Outside that everything is progressing fine. Waiting for the remainder of the swelling to go down now. Doc said 5 months it would be gone so the countdown is on.

Hey man thanks for replying to all before. Had the surgery 5 days ago. Feeling good already just swollen, hoping are 3 months the worst of the swelling will be over. I’m also still slightly hunched forward how long was it till you could stand straight?

Updates this week! Skipped the week to see a real before/after of the lymphatic. Honestly, not a major difference, but at this stage of the game I didn't expect it to get fixed overnight.
I did find it seems to have helped a lot on my back. The 'roundness' of my bump at my incision site on the front has reduced a little too. All in all I would say it's definitely worth doing, if for nothing else than the fact I hadn't had a massage or used my core in two months and this really helped with activation and relaxing. I did notice I drained a bit more and it helped the scar tissue too, so a win all around IMHO. :)
This week I've been starting core work, I can't lie it hurt like a [RS bleep] and still does. I'm keeping it simple each morning and separate to gym work, just get my core activated and acclimatised to being used for the first time in nearly three months. I'm focusing on doing it consistently every day for a week or so which should get my core usable enough to start trying larger or more compound movements back at the gym.
Next weekend will be three months exactly and I'm advised I should be able to ramp back up to normal exercise at that point, however I notice that I still get a 'pinching' feeling around where the incision site is at the very front when I squeeze my core so I'll keep an eye on that and try find out how long that takes to go away completely.
Exciting stuff, hopefully be fully functional again in a couple of weeks (swelling and constant compression garments aside).

Week 9 Post Op

Hey guess, radio silence for a while so back filling the updates. So week 9 I had my first lymphatic massage and I've given it a two week gap after this to see before/afters.
No major updates outside that. Dealing with swelling and generally in the grove of stuff now.

It was meant to be circular, however Dr Rushapol noted some of the sagging around my flanks was signficant so if it was complete circular it would not shape naturally. So it's 'near-circular', the scars go almost all the way till my spine but taper upwards at the end to get a better body shape. Well worth discussing it with your doc but yes, full circular essentially. Let me know if you have any questions, happy to answer anything I can!
Congrats on doing this! You'll love it!
It's definitely not something I would worry about (after the hospital stay.. slept like crap there due to constant checkups, which is a good thing). If possible, practice for a while beforehand to recondition you to back sleeping with the pillows and you should be fine!
