I am feeling better and stronger every day. I still have little sensations along the incisions with swelling. I’m getting more energy and moving better. My belly button is looking better every day and I am doing the “marble thing “ to my belly button. Thank you for the posting about massages to the incisions to help with healing. I’ll continue to post pictures of my progress.

You look great, congratulations!! You're about a week behind me I am 26 days post op my TT , BL, BA were done on June 16th. I've been doing okay, I'm just very impatient, wanting to feel better now. I have a lot of swelling in my lower belly and pubic area. I did watch videos on self lymphatic massage and it does help. I also read we should not massage our incision or scars until at least around 8 weeks post op to make sure we don't add any additional tension and cause them to open. Happy perfect healing, hoping we're all past the worst of this journey and things get easier every day.

Thank you for that advice, it makes sense because everything still feels weird or tender like I could pull or tear something. I agree I’m just so ready to see more results, I’m about to look on line now.

So today I am six days preop. I had my follow up doctors appointment the doctor says I am healing great he removed my drain and gave me the instructions on wearing my shaper along with my compression garment he also said in a few weeks my I may want to try the marble trick on my belly button. have any of you heard of the marble trick? he said you put a marble in your belly button and it helps your bellybutton heal so that it looks really cute. Also he gave me some strips to put one to my incisions to help them heal do any of you guys have a good recommendation for the silicon strips that I should order that work well for you in our good price? I wil post pictures tomorrow.

3rd full day pre-op

I am feeling much better today, I was able to takeoff the bandages and take a shower. I love the results, if this is how it looks at three days I can’t wait to continue to watch it get better and better. I’m still numb, I don’t really have an appetite, and no BM yet, but I’m taking everything they say to encourage a BM. I’ve been staying hydrated as well and. The nurse called to check up me today also.
