took me a good 2 years of reserch to even bring myself to have make an appointment but once i did knew it was exactly what i wanted to do and was booked in for around 8 weeks later. so far been ups and down but defintly worth it! im only 3 weeks po but am already pleased even though i have conserns about my puckering and how i have been stitched but i no longer have saggy skin and to look down and not see that is wonderful!!
Thought i should prob add abit of background here...
I am now 3 weeks po and although i do not have this supermodel body and i am still swollen not standing straight all day i am thrilled to not have that sagging skin. recovery has been interesting few ups and downs but on the whole i expected it to be much worse. i was off all pain meds by a week po. am now back at work (i work in a pub). i am getting a little frustrated my not being able to do certain things hoover ect .. they call me the whirlwind at work i am constantly on the go so having to sit back and relax was a total reality shock one i did not like much but now i am doing alot of normal things beside lifting and pulling. think listening to what your body tells you is by far the main thing.

Welcome to the community. This takes patience and time for total healing so hang on. You will get there in time but I do know how frustrating this can be.
You need to start massaging the incision 2-3 times a day. Using a good vitamin E oil and a firm circular massage along the entire incision will help smooth, fade and flatten the area. It can take a good year to completely heal so hold on tight.
Glad you are here with us and thank you for sharing your journey.
