It’s been nice to see my incision finally. The tape over my incision finally came off. Had my 4 week post op and i was soo terrified i tore my diastasis repair my daughter got sick and I caught what she had so it made healing even more rough. I started to get severe itching and burning from my nerves that was soo uncomfortable and no Benadryl i took also hydroxyzine and barely took the edge off! I have been using silicone tape now over my incision to help the healing. We’ll see if it helps. That’s what’s over my belly button in this pic,

Today decided to take a pic and seeing my before is rough. I struggled to post a before it was taken at the office a year prior to my TT I lost 10 lbs from the before pic prior to my tummy. Needing more support than I thought and it’s been harder than I anticipated. 3 c sec, hysterectomy, gallbladder removal so I’m aware of pain but this has been differ and more tiring!! Im ready to be out and about and feeling more human. Mentally tired and not sleeping great still. When does the page turn and you see the light? LOL

Your TT looks great. Hope you’re recovering well. May I ask what scar cream you’re using and do you like it?

I’m not using any scar cream. I bought a Silocone tape and been using it over my incision and i love that it covers the incision. I haven’t decided if it helps with the scaring yet.

It looks like you are healing really well! I’m 5 days post op TT.

Thank you! How’s your healing/recovery going? Is it as intense or less than you expected?

The first few days/week was rough, now able to drive and return to work with limitations-I’m now 17 days post op and finally walking better but still slightly hunched over but it gets better every day. I’m struggling with leaving on the tape they place on incision or removing it so that my scar cream can be more effective but not sure if it’s too early to remove the brown tape. Hope you all have a speedy recovery.

I left my sterry tape on me. The dr said don’t take it off. It finally came off at 4 weeks. I am at 90% standing straight up. I’m actually going to go get a lymphatic drainage massage on Thursday have you looked into it? I now use silicone tape to help heal the incision there is rules to how long to keep on. I got it from Amazon.
You should post some pics. I know it’s helpful to see other people’s stories. I finally just decided to do it I’m always so embarrassed of seeing my old pics. I just posted a new pic today.

Yes you will love the lymphatic massages I have been getting them since I was 8 days post op and they may be a little painful but you feel so much better after every one and they have helped me with the swelling. I guess I will leave my brown tape on since I’m only 3 weeks post op as of today just hoping the scar cream I’m placing on this tape is doing it’s magic because I really want to minimize this huge scar as much as possible

This was 3 days post op. It’s extremely hard mentally to post pics still. Does it get easier? Also when we’re u able to stand up straight. i feel like I’m soooo tight it won’t ever happen! It’s INSANE in the back

Awww thank you! I can’t wait to hear how yours goes! When is yours scheduled?

Hi! am 3 weeks in, and feel your pain! everything feels ridiculously tight and still can't stand up straight, which is killing my back....lots of Voltarol gel is helping slightly; also, cannot believe how little energy I have, just want to sleep all the time....this site has really helped me, as I know all the things I'm feeling are normal for this procedure! It's a long haul, but no going back now, and keep thinking ahead to when this is just a memory :@D good luck with your recovery X

Oh my gosh! Thank you for making me feel less alone. This has been the most hardest thing ever. I didn’t mentally prepare myself for the downtime and the mental exhaustion that comes from not being capable of walking and the pain of not being able to stand up straight and looking like a 90yr old. The tightness in the belly is out of this world and burning sensation is crazy! I’m like showering while holding the wall because of not being able to stand up and it feels like I’m pulling my soul!LOL.
I think paid 12k to torture myself but then I look at my results and I’m like it’s better than it was before but stilllll!!!
