I know I haven't posted for a long time. I am exactly 1 year post-op today!! I feel great! I am back in a 2-piece. The last time was about 40 years ago. I also am working on my gut health and working out more. My scar and belly button look amazing thanks to Dr. Labrasca!

Just a couple of pics at 13 weeks post op. Getting back some feeling, numbness is wearing off in some areas. I am pleased with my healing process. Hope I can help someone. I know before my surgery this site was useful!

12 weeks post op. & items that helped me
YogaNanaof3September 5, 2022
I am 12 weeks post op. now. I feel great! The swelling is off and on, mainly after working out or moving a lot throughout the day. It does subside though. It's been surreal wearing a two piece bathing suit this summer. At more importantly feeling confident doing so. I wanted to post some items that were really helpful during my recovery, especially in the first few weeks.
1. An extra binder; washing the first one.
2. Antibacterial cloths, for washing since a shower and bath are not an option in the beginning.
3. Nightgowns that open in the front, this makes it much easier for the drains and loose for comfort.
4. A recliner. I slept in this for about a month.
5. Arnica gel & Arnica tea, good for bruising and swelling.
7. Biotin oil & scar strips, after 6 weeks and when my surgeon approved.
These were the most useful items for me.

Did you ever feel the need to wear a faja or order it off Amazon ??

Hi, no I did not get or wear a faja. There were times after my six weeks that I put my binder on to help with swelling but my Dr. did not require anything after 6 weeks.
