I don't know what to say!! I had that a little a few days ago so I applied polysporin and then kept a dressing on it loosely. I watched it like a sore tooth. It seems to dry up and re scab over. I don't see my ps till thursday next week. 3 weeks must be the timeline cause I've read a few ladies this happens to. Also I think I have extra fluid to but will check on thursday too. Lol I'm scared to move sometimes.

I had something similar. I was told to clean the incision with saline solution and apply neosprian then cover with gauze. Call the PS leave a message. Most are open on Saturdays for Friday's surgery follow up. They just don't advertise that.

Tummy looks great! Your neck really does too! How painful was that part? I'm very interested in asking my ps about that. I would be afraid there would be lose skin.

Thank you! I never felt neck pain bc tummy was such a pain. Now a few weeks later my tummy is pain free pretty much but my neck really bothers me. It's very swollen and there are scar tissue spots that are normal to massage everyday. He said two more months til it's normal. I will let u know if its worth it, so far yes. :)

Looking great, girl. I had my TT the same day as you and I'm almost back to feeling completely normal. In fact I returned to do some part time work this morning and worked for three hours. I feel energetic enough to do more but MORE at this stage of recovery isn't always better. I'll be taking it easy and resting for the rest of the day. (It's noon at the time of this writing). You're young so your recovery should be smooth sailing from now on! Your results are totally awesome!
