Well. It's 7 weeks this Friday. I look like I'm prego if I relax my stomach. I'm pretty sure it's still swelling but it really blows. Very discouraging. I no longer wear my binder and just started to be able to fit in jeans but they are so right sometimes I wish I didn't put them on. Done days I just wear training pants.
I hear it can take up to 6 months for the swelling to fully go away. I'm positive it's swelling however as its very firm and around my surgery area above it. Looks like I have a pot belly. I'm hoping my incisions didn't loosen up to soon or something durning the abdominal tightning. I saw my doctor the other day and he said he wants to see me in 4 months.
We shall see I guess I hope one day it will just be flat like I wanted it to be. Right now it's just depressing.

Two weeks post op is tomorrow. I'm doing half days at work. 4 hours onsite then 4 hours home. It's ok. Sitting at work sucks but it's just 4 hours.
I'm still wearing my compression bands like All the time. They said 2 more weeks. Any feedback on this. I'm still pretty swollen in the front and around the surgery area. But this band is so annoying to have to wear and honestly I think the logic behind it makes sense for 2 weeks post op but not a month. Healing is good I'm using silicone sheets. Pricey. Scaraway brand need to swap in some new ones tomorrow.

Any input on the compression band after two weeks of wearing it like 24/7? They want me to do 2 more weeks. Annoying. I'm still swollen infront and having to wear gym pants everywhere lol but honestly I find the band on me more uncomfortable then the skin area that was cut.

My Dr let me use underarmour shirts after the first week. They are much more confortable than the compression garment.

Wow! I'm looking for a VA Dr to do my tummy tuck. BUT IM TERRIFIED OF THE CONSULTS and being told its over 7000 which is my budget. Why was it so cheap for you? Do you recommended him?

I do. He comes off as smug but so do most. I'm healing ok. Lots of swelling. But for the most part I'm fine. Getting mobility back slowly. I had a referral from a friend that got me 15% off but I think it was this price do to that thiers no over night stay and your not paying for a room.

So do you think u made the best choice with him? Did you consult with any other Dr? I visited his site and I'm just a little concerned about some of the scars on the before and aftershocks look very thick Anne uneven.

Well as a Man, i didn't really care about the scaring to much i went to some other doctors in the area and they wanted like 12 K, which i was not wiling to spend, I also had 2 others friends he worked on and they seemed fine when they showed me their work after a year plus.

So while cleaning my belly button today (seems like im always cleaning it, ) a small knotted string came out, in a loop, to my shock i was like woah... where the hell did this come from, it must have loosened up or been pushed out by the tissue swelling there as that site is still healing. Anyone had this happen? I emailed my doctor to ask if this is normal or what to do, waiting for a reply. it seems like surgical string... like the kind that wont break down over time. . .

I had one of my stitches come out the same way from the main scar. Dr said it was fine.
