WORTH IT$6,000
Wow, time has flown. I'm loving my results and so glad I decided to do this. Really not much to update, no significant changes since the 6 week mark.
I'm not using any form of CG anymore. I swell above my BB at the end of day, but that happens with or without compression. It always resides in the morning when I wake up.
As far as energy I'm 100%. Workouts I'm at 90%, still waiting one more month for ab work and heavier weights. Cardio I'm back 100%.
During the first days and weeks the TT is always on your mind, now there are days I don't even think about it.
Good luck to everyone who is making the decision for this journey. Happy healing!!

I haven't worn a tucked in shirt in years. My wardrobe looks more professional now. I've dropped a pant size!

You look great! I'm at 4 weeks and an dying to work out! Your post definitely encourages me. I had a hernia repair also and no lipo.

Not working out was the hardest part of recovery. Hang in there you will be able to in no time. Can you walk for cardio now?

Does working out help with the energy and healing process

It did for me, especially walking during the early weeks. Always follow your PS advice and ease into it.

6 weeks!!!!!
StephTT031814April 30, 2014
Wow, I can't believe I'm 6 weeks PO. Time has really flown. I'm feeling great, my energy is almost 100 % pre surgery. I'm working out 6 days a week alternating with cycle and run/jog. I started weight training again this week and going to slowly ramp that up. I have to weight 3 month PO before doing any serious ab workouts. It feels so good to sweat again.
As far as scar care goes, I'm using bio oil 2x daily and massage it in for a couple min each time. I'm still wearing my cg most of the time, I've become dependent on it. Honestly my swelling has been minimal the past couple weeks. By the evening, I swell a little above incision. I did not have lipo and I think that takes into account the minimal swelling. I'm going to start wearing cg tanks during the day, but wear my post op cg to work out in.
I'm so pleased with my results. They exceeded my expectations. The first 2 weeks of recovery is tough, but I never expected at 6 weeks id be working hard at the gym again. Best part I've lost a total of 8 pounds!! I haven't been this small since before kids.

You look great!:) your giving me something to look forward to!
April 30, 2014
Thanks for sharing. I'm 1 month behind you so it gives me something to look forward to. Also, have you noticed when you don't work out the swelling is / was worse than when you do?
April 30, 2014
No, the swelling in the evening is minimal with working out or not. I haven't noticed a bid difference on rest days.
