Well its been about 8 months since I have updated & added new pics so I thought now is better than never! I love love love my FLAT tummy!! I can finally wear whatever i want without worring about "the blob'! I bought the silicon scar strip things and started using them at 6wks, that only lasted for like 2wks. (im so bad about keeping up with things!) I recently started rubbing vit e on my scar again. I havent had any pain or discomfort. just a little annoyed that my tummy is still just a bit numb around my belly button. it has gotten a lot better though since the first few months where more of my tummy was numb. ive gained a few pounds-went straight to my hips & thighs- so ive started working out. & for the first time working on my abs. Ive been so damn scared!! i didnt want to rip/mess up anything. it wasnt painful like i thought it was going to be, i was just sore the next day but i know thats normal tummy tuck or not! i havent been to a follow up appointment since 1mnth post op-horrible i know! ive just been too busy to make & keep an appt. im hoping i can at least make it to my 1yr post op. well all is well in the flat lands & im loving it :) its past my bed time so i will take pics & post them tomorrow

Just a quick update...Not much has changed as far as my scar and swelling. Scar is bright red & I still get a little puffy above my scar, some nights more than others but still no complaints. I still wear my compression garment as much as possible & I still sleep with it every night. Rubbing vit. e on my scar until I get my scar treatment. I did a little shopping this weekend, I am down 3 pant sizes!!! Im feeling great, my confidence is back!
Hope everyone is recovering well!

1month post op (7/25)
I had my 1month po appt(7/26) Doc said everything is looking nice. Incision is closed & healing well. I can start scar treatment. I can start light excerise, no ab work till 3months po. I started rubbing vitamin e on my scar-for now til I decide what scar treatment I want. I bought some tanks 'suddenly skinny' from Target. They are great I wear them when I leave the house, under my shirts instead of the bulky binder. but I wear the binder when I am home & when I go to bed. When I know Im goin out for a short while I wont wear any type of compression garment, its nice to feel so condient! :) Im still looking for some other type of compression garment to wear underneath I just havent had time to go shopping. My scar isnt sensitive I can rub it & it doesnt hurt/bother me. The feeling on my tummy has gotten better just a little numb above my scar & around my BB. Still not swelling too bad, just a bit of puffiness above my incision.
Sorry to ramble about so many differnt things, its been a long week & Im sleepy!
I will try to post new pics tonight.
