Update with pics and scar
It's been a while i don't post pics so i decided to show how things are going on. Most of scabs have felt already, and i'm happy with what i see about the scar till now. It doesn't seen with any keloid, something i was really worried with. I have a new doc appointment this week, let's see what he says.
I have some purple bruises on my skin but it's not about the surgery, lol. It's just my huge clumsy dog who decided to play hard lol.

Belly Button Tip
Ah! The girl that comes helping me with the draining massage sessions is used to do it on ppl who made abdominal surgeries, so she gave me a nice tip to prevent my belly button to look "sad" or too vertical: To take a piece of gauze, make a knot and twist the tips a bit, like making a little ball to put inside your belly button, so it doesn't get smashed by the binder when you have it closed. :)
Updating...
I just saw i didn't tell about my last appointment. He took my stitches after 12 days (it wasn't 15 yet but they looked pretty good already) and had to drain some liquid from the bottom of my belly. It wasn't much, but it really made a difference! And it didn't hurt at all, since my belly isn't much sensitive yet. Anyway i didn't look at the seringe lol :D
The stitches hurted more, my doc is not much delicate lol, and it felt like they were glued inside me when he pulled it out, ouch!
He also liberated me from the micropore tapes, since they were irritating my skin already. Just putting some gauzes on it to protect for now. He said that in 15 days (next appointment) i would start using the silicon tape.
About me: For now i'm bothered by the liquid that seens to acumulate under my belly button. I don't know if i'll need to drain it again or if the body will take care of it alone. I also started having draining massage sessions with a professional i knew already, it helps the lymphatic system to work better and surely will help with the liquid.
I also have some hard and sensible spots around my belly button that seen to be fibrosis. Maybe due to the internal stitches. The massage can help with that too.
Besides the liquid that makes my belly not that flat and the painful hard spots i feel fine about it. Having to control myself not to do home work or help with things when i see they are becoming chaos lol. The ones with young kids will understand what i mean lol.
