You look really good, no swelling. How are you feeling, do you swell at any time? Do you workout?I pray my scar is low like that. Happy healing.
Thank you. I am feeling great. No swelling I used to work out regularly before surgery. I have just started the workout again. In fact today was my first day of exercising. I took my time with the healing. Took it easy
Great, i plan to take it easy also, just so anxious. Thanks
Good luck
You look amazing!
Thank you! How’s your recovery going ? Any pictures ?
You look wonderful!!! I was just curious as to why you have the vertical incision? I have the same one and my ps needed to do it to pull my belly button down far enough.....enjoy your new belly you look great...thank you for sharing
Thank you. I did not have enough skin to pull down far enough. Also my belly button was a bit higher
Did you have your muscles suture together and do you massage your scar on your vertical scar since you are skinny do you feel the sutures like the hard lump
I did have my muscle sutured together and yes I apply a scar fading gel on the scar. I m not massaging it. Yes I can feel a bit of hardness under the scar but it’s not too bad
Thanks for sharing. I'm looking into having the same procedure. Can you tell me how long before you were able to return tho work?
My work is pretty demanding and I couldn’t take much time off. Was back to work on the 10 th day

Looks amazing!
Thankyou
I think my tt scar is going to be very similar to yours. I don't have a lot of extra skin to pull. I told the ps that I didn't care so much about the scar more about going to the flat side. Your results are amazing.
I am happy to get rid of the extra skin. Good luck to you . Thanks again
You look awesome ! Thank for sharing your journey ! I go in sept . I’m so excited and nervous for recovery . How long before you could stand up straight
I was on my feet in pretty much right away but of course took breaks and rest
Did you end up needed perc’s or was the T3 enough ? Were you able to get off the hard painkillers in only a couple days? Did you throw up after surgery I’m nervous about the ride home and constipation from the meds . Did you take laxatives or anything ti help with that ?
No only Tylenol 3 for a day. Then only extra strength Tylenol for few days. No constipation .
Amazing !
