One month later....
Tomorrow will be 4 weeks and I am feeling much better. I am still wearing my compression garment at home and at night but when I go out or to work I wear a Spanx like garment (actually a Maidenform Flexees shaper that comes up just under my bra). I go back to my PS next week for my 1 month follow-up. I am still swollen at my incision site under my belly button (you can see it in the photos). It is also hard right along the front of my incision line which I have read is normal for a couple of months. I have a scab on my left hip where my drain was and also a couple on the front of my incision. I am going to ask my PS about silicone strips at my visit. My scar is 34" around.
I think my scars are looking pretty good. I am really happy with my belly button. I think I may end up with a dog ear near the end of my incision but I am going to give it a little while to see how that works out. I am really happy with my scar placement. The panties I am wearing in the pics are the ones I took on my surgery day for him to mark me in. I am not sure if you can see the freckle right above the incision in the front ( above the pubic area) but that freckle used to be over my old belly button.

You look great! Your scar has faded so much in just a month! You mentioned you would ask the PS about silicon strips, but have you used anything in the meantime? Congrats on your results!

I have been using Eucerin creme on my incision on the areas as they have closed up and healed and on my belly button. I think it has really helped. I use this creme a lot anyway on different things and always have good results. I plan on using the silicone strips when everything heals but am trying to do as much as I can to help now.

You look really good! I had an extended as well but only to mid hip. I'm wondering if I extend further around if it will pull me tighter. Your nice & flat!!

Mine is 34" around so he went pretty far but it is tight. He prepared me that it would be.

Drain is out!
So I went back to my PS 2 days ago and was fitted for my LOVELY CG. My drain output has been at 25cc for 3 days so I went back today and had it removed. I need to take some new pics but to give you an idea pre-TT I was a size 10 and today I bought a size 6 jeans. I have minimal swelling. I have been very pleased with Dr Kirbo and his staff and would recommend them to anyone. I am walking upright now, sleeping in my bed, completely off pain meds and basically back to my regular routine. I don't think anyone would be able to look at me and tell that I have had something done, I am moving normally again. I am SO glad that I did this!
