It might be 18 months since the surgery, but these photos are from 1 year after surgery. I've been having laser treatments with Dr Umansky to try to minimize the scarring. The scarring is still kind of thick in spots. Otherwise all is well!

I feel pretty good, and definitely feel happier about how I look. I'm back to doing ab exercises, including sit-ups. I regularly have the dull ache in my abs, and I wonder if I ever won't be reminded of this surgery by that feeling.
I have been doing scar treatments with Dr. Umansky monthly. I can't say I am seeing a huge difference, but hopefully soon. He said my scar was getting "thick" and that the laser treatments on the scar is helping it to thin out. I one point, he shot some steroids into the scar in my belly button and that did seem to help. I still have the dreaded "dog ear" at the end of my scar (on the side where I had the drain). I will go in next month and he will restitch that area, and hopefully the healing will be smooth.
All in all, still very happy I went through with the surgery.

Someone once talked about the value of putting before and after pics together, and I can see why... When I start to nitpick my results, it helps to go back and see where this journey started....
