Hey guys ! Haven't forgotten about you life has just been busy! The results are better and better everyday. My only complaint is that my scar hyper-pigmented and thickened about 4 months out. I'm in the process of finding solutions. I'm going to find a dermatologist and maybe have some laser treatments. I would still do it all again just for the contours and the diastasis recti being fixed. Not having the sensation of my guts hanging out has been life changing.

Been out of town for a weeks for my sons basketball tournament and it was super hard! Anyway progress has been slow due to my knee injury in the two days prior to surgery. I feel like I don't look as good because I haven't been able to get in the gym. However my knee is healing tremendously and so I will be back in workout clothes ... Maybe just a sports bra ???? lol I'm pushing it. Overall I'm very happy ! Next week is my 6 week follow up and I go back to work the following week.
I want to thank each person that has sent me messages of encouragement you guys have been great emotional support.

Hey girl
Your abdominal area looks great. You will be back in no time. I wouldn't rush the gym just yet, go slow. Slow wins the race safely.
Hope your knee recovers fully.
My abdomen isn't as flat as yours yet. The belly button and lower abdomen is still pouty, look swollen. I'm just walking still, about 5 miles per day. My doc says it will 8 weeks before I can try the Eliptacle/Stair Master/Bicycle machines, low impact aerobics like Zumba, Step aerobics, easy low impact classes. Everything else is off limits until 12 weeks. I'm good with slow and easy.
Are you still wearing binder? I may give my Spanx a try again. Binder keep bunching up and rubbing on my scar site.
Anyways, enjoy rest of summer.

Hey girl,
We made it! 6 weeks post surgery.
How are you doing? How's your knees coming along? Back to work yet?
We made it!!! I'm good. Still walking, no gym yet. Got my last follow-up on Friday.
Hopefully will get cleared to ease back in the gym. Back to work next Monday. I was loving being at home.
Keep in touch. Let me know how you are doing.

Picture of the Scar revision gel from my PS office. It's between $80 to $100 online. However it's included in my PS fees. She gave me two binders ranging about $100 a piece and made in the US (Taylor and Taylor Creations) plus the scar treatment. Her prices are a little higher but the service is well worth it. I even call her with questions on the weekends and she answers with a pleasant attitude.
Surgery, happy and safe healing !
