42 year old Tummy Tuck, Muscle Repair, Lipo of Flanks and lower back

Look at all the skin and fat they removed from me. This is a good reminder to exercise and eat healthy so it doesn't return. Wow! Almost to my 3 week anniversary now. Time is starting to fly by now since I am back in the swing of everything. Dr released me today for cardio and tanning so I am planning to start my elliptical tonight. Have to wear my binder for 3 more weeks all the time and then can start to ween off of it. Good times ahead

Scars are healing up great as well as belly button. Starting to itch and my panties irritate the edges but all in all looking great and healing fast.

Getting better everyday. Week 2 back to work and much easier this week. The swelling doesn't get quite as bad in the afternoon. Still swollen and wearing my compression garment 23 1/2 hours a day. Had my follow up with the dr today. Had to drain the fluid off my stomach. Will go back on Monday for it to be drained again. He said this will help my recovery and I will start seeing better results now. My stitches are healing up nicely. The scar is super low and even below my c-section scar. Wow! My dr is awesome and I love his work already. I have been cleared to wear spandex now to replace the compression garment. I plan to find some in the next day or so. Belly button is almost healed up so no issues with it. The bruising from the lipo is still pretty bad. My back and hips are still really bruised. Hope that starts to clear up now. Getting better everyday and thankful so such a good recovery so far. I am hoping to add some cardio exercises in a week or two. Waiting to ask the dr on Monday. Happy healing everyone!
