Started using the silicone take Mepitac, have really seen a big difference in redness and it's a lot less raised now after only two weeks use.

You look great! I love that your belly button is pretty (that's one of my fears, an ugly one lol)

You think so? It's my biggest worry right now. It's still very scarred close up, I'm actually going in for a revision at my surgeons request because she's unhappy with the left top half. It's still swollen, I'm hoping it gets more hollow when that dies down.
I'll upload some pictures so you can see it better.

Almost back to normal

Well it's been almost 2 and a half weeks since my surgery and I'm feeling pretty good. Been off all meds for over a week and I'm sleeping waaaay better. The drains really were the worst part, once they came out the pain and major discomfort vanished within 36hrs I'd say.
I had a minor complication with one drain sight not closing properly and had to go back this past Tuesday to get some more stitches on my right side. Happy to say it looks way better and I don't see me having any more problems. Dr had me start putting a small marble in my belly button to help push the swelling down, she was surprised to see I'm not swelling on the incision at all. I've switched from the binder to spanx because I found it way easier to keep the spanx in place and keep it on full time, I found the binder so bulky/hard to wear and I ended up undoing it for often than not just to get some relief. Plus I can actually wear proper clothes now!
I've ordered some silicone backed tape I've seen other girls on here recommend, I'm excited to start using it, reall really hoping it helps flatten it out and reduce the redness.
Also ordered some swim suits from Victoria Secret, mostly one pieces but they definitely don't look momish. Fingers crossed I actually like a few! We're going to Mexico in November and I'd love to feel good about myself in a bathing suit for the first time in my life :)
