I had a great experience I never would have done...

I had a great experience I never would have done this if I didn't have a hysterectomy at the same time.. I am so glad I did it!!The hysterectomy was totally unexpected thought my problems could be fixed with hormone adjustment so when he said we are going to cut you open were your c-sections were I said I should get tummy tuck while I am at it. I love my results even though I am still swollen at 6 weeks.. Before I did this I looked like I was 4-5 months pregnant. I am 51years old 5'3" and weighed 138 the day of surgery. Highest ever other than when I was pregnant. I am now down to 129 and losing! I stayed 3 nights in the hospital and pretty much stayed home for the next three weeks. Was on pain meds for almost 4 weeks mostly at night.

Your scar healed wonderfully. What did you use on it. How did you take care of it.

Aww yay someone else with the same exact incision as me!! Wow so happy to see how nicely yours has faded! I was very nervous about how the incision from my belly button down would heal. You look great! Any advice on scar therapy??

I am about 3 1/2 months post op.. I go see the ps today for a follow up. I am posting some pics. I still am swollen at night and after working out.. Still wear my binder as it feels more comfortable. I am having pains in my stomach area that I think is the nerves reconnecting since I am becoming less numb...

I still wear it but he said to start weaning off it... I am still really sore but he said it is normal since I had so much done.. I am definitely more comfortable with it on but able to take it off more and more. Thank you!

Wow your scar looks amazing. Did you use anything to make it fade faster. I have been using silicone sheets and it is still red and didn't fade as quick as yours. I am also 6 months post op
