2 months ( a few days over) post op and feeling so fine
Well I am very glad to get past this hump because I would say that (finally) I am back to me again! Hitting the gym.... check, Working hard.... check, Doing to family thing....check :) It seems to all be coming back into focus.
I started my mederma scar treatment about a week ago. It is a 8 week, once a day treatment. I am excited this is happening as I thought the middle part of my belly would never heal! I have pulled a few stiches out of that area that must have been trying to hang on. The PS told me this can cause a delay such as what I had.
I am also free of my spanx and this makes me VERY happy! I hated those stupid things, can we say wedgie!
I love how I can wear tube tops and very skimpy summer stuff with no bra! I found the nipple petals that just stick over your nipples at Kohls and they are wonderful! I am very self conscience of my nipples showing, so I always wear these if I am going braless.
Just a FYI, the petals are a one use only deal. They will not stick again once you have used them, but you get like 6 pair in a pack for about $6. The dollar tree also carries them, but they are not quite as good as the ones at Kohls.
Ok, well I am posting updated pics of the scars and how things look at this point. I would love feedback if you have anything to add!

2 month follow up went well....Dr Zemmel, you rock!
Well its hard to believe its almost been 2 months! I had my 2 month post op and things could not had went better. This office is simply amazing in how well they have cared for me and made me feel like I am family. I was able to do a video testimony and that was so much fun! And.... because I did that, I get to have a free facial. How cool!
Well over all, I am feeling so much better these days! I am almost what I would call normal. I had a minor set back this week with a shoulder/neck issues that prohibited me from going to the gym, but I am going tomorrow to get my grove back :)
I have been cleared to start using Mederma and just started tonight.I got the once a day for 8 weeks stuff. We will see how that goes. I am also out of my spanx! Yeah! I hate anything that binds me and is hot. I think I will be so much more comfortable not having that thing riding up my butt all day.
I am truly happy with my results and my confidence is sky high! I love my new body!

Just curious...how long did it take for that little wound in the front to clear up? I have something similar and I"m at 4.5 weeks now. :(

I would say it took a good 6 weeks. My PS said that a left over stitch can cause that and sure enough, I pulled one out a few weeks ago. You may have something like that going on. Is your spot oozeing any puss or fluid?
June 1, 2013
Ok...good to know. Only one little part was kind of 'oozing' but as long as I keep it dry and leave it uncovered at night it seems to be just fine and is healing so much better . Yesterday, I had my CG on and covered it with gauze and when I took it off, sure enough part of the 'scab' came off again. Ugh I think it was just the part that's healing already so that's good. There still seems to be a small little hole or indent.

The hole is completely normal. I had that and when I push around it, some puss would come out. Finally a stich came out and it seemed to clear up once that was out. That area just does not seem to have a ample amount of blood supply for good healing. It was the same with me when I had my belly button pierced, took forever to heal! It will work itself out I promise!

Doing everthing in my power to not think about it. Still gives me butterflies.
