Post op week 6
Still feeling good , had my 6 week check today all went well my ps is very pleased with the results as am I,
I'm still swollen not all the time, but also very flat so it's no hardship. I'm still wearing my cg during the day and a binder at night I find the binder helps me sleep on my side better, I tried to sleep on my tummy and I'm not ready for that yet. Ps said I don't have to wear cg all the time it's up to me, I do feel better with it on though. And will wear when I exercise.
I have been cleared for exercise only treadmill & bike though, he said I can try running but listen to my body,
He wants me to wait until the 3 month mark before I do my high impact stuff and I can't even do Pilates, I'm gonna be a stone heavier by the time Christmas comes ha ha.
I keep feeling lots of twinges and like a pulling sensation inside it feels strange, I think it's everything knitting back together I had a lot of muscle repair. ps also told me to do lots of massage on my tummy area and that will help with the swelling.
I'm adding a few new pics, I'm very happy with the scar it's healed really well and first thing in the morning before the swelling starts I am so flat and have great contours at the side, 97 % of my stretch marks have gone and I had a lot, and my belly button looks amazing.
Very happy lady

Post op 5 weeks
Doing great still get the odd twinge every now and then but nothing too painful, I'm still suffering with a bit of swelling usually afternoon time if I've done a bit too much, but first thing in the morning my tummy is so flat and you can really see the hour glass shape from the muscle repair, I know when the swelling goes down it will look amazing.
My scar is still looking great nice and straight and my belly button looks fab.
I will post some pics this week.
Still can't believe how great I feel in my clothes which has always been my motivation I'm getting a bit sick of wearing leggings though, my jeans still feel a bit uncomfortable when I sit down.
It cost £5225 and it was worth every single penny, my ps has an open door policy so I can call txt or e mail if I have any concerns, the fastener on one of my compression garments broke and another was ordered straight away with no charge, I can't fault my ps and his ps nurse who happens to be his wife is great.
I go to see him next week for another check.
I'm wearing the cg during the day but have swapped to a binder at night I find it more comfortable, I've not managed to sleep on my tummy yet but can sleep on my side ok,

Post op day 21 from fleur di lis with extensive muscle repair
Feeling great but still feeling the after effects of the muscle repair, and along with the swelling it can be uncomfortable but not really painful, I seem to be getting a bit stiff if I'm sat in the same position for too long.
I thought I might be ready for some gentle exercise but I'm listening to my body and don't feel ready yet, but I'm gonna have to next week as I've been out to lunch most days with different friends and I'm gonna end up gaining weight ha ha.
I'm still resting not as much as I have been, but maybe I'm relaxing a bit more.
I don't see ps for another 2 weeks but he was happy for me to start scar treatment, I'm still very impressed with the scar.
