37 Yrs Old, 2 GIANT Babies, Time to Fix my Destroyed Belly!! 5'5", 127 Lbs - San Antonio, TX

I decided to add some pictures of me 4 years post-op. All healed up obviously. Scar looks great. I still don't have feeling in my skin over parts of my stomach. I guess that's never coming back. My belly button isn't perfect and it would take over a grand to get it fixed so I probably won't. I wish I could get it done for free but I was told there would be a cost, sadly. One thing I'd like to add: I was on pain killers and antibiotics for so long that I destroyed my gut health. So after you're done with the meds be SERIOUS about building up your gut health again. I had a lot of pain for years until I realized what was wrong. Do some research and DO IT! Seriously!!!

Quick update. Healing well. Feeling almost back to normal. It's a LONG healing process. If so it again in a second though! Belly button isn't healing perfectly. I've been wearing a plug for over 2 months 24/7 but it's not doing much. Took it out and my belly button looks exactly the same. I may need a revision. Oh well. Il still happy with my results.

Standing straighter everyday! I quit taking Valium except for at night the last few days and have stopped taking my morning nap. I've still had a nice long nap in the afternoons though. I still have help thank goodness. It's going to be tough when my husband has to leave for 2-3 months next week. I may need to beg my mom to come back. I'm starting to cut back on the hydrocodone. In the mornings my stomach is so nice and flat. I look forward to the day when the swelling stops. Dr Lawton is going to have me start to wear a compression garment at one month post-op. I'll also start the scar cream. I can't wait for the scar to fade! It doesn't bother me now, it will just be so great when I'm totally healed. I'm grateful that I tend to scar nicely. My c-section scar was barely noticeable. Here's some pics I took right after I woke up so you can see the results before I start to swell for the day!
