34, 4 Kids, TUMMY TUCK READYYY!!! - West Palm Beach, FL

Today I am exactly 4 weeks post op. I went to see Dr. D yesterday and had the tape removed so that was the 1st time I saw my incision scar and I was in shock but my husband told me to stop being a drama queen. He says it's so low and no one should be seeing that area of my body but him LOL. Today I started scar therapy so we'll see how this works over the next couple of weeks. I'm still very happy with my results as a whole. Here's a few current pics of my UGLY scar and my FLAT belly ??

This was supposed to be my 1 week post op post. Sorry I'm 2 days late so this is 9 days post op. On day 7 I went back to see my Surgeon and everything went great. They removed my drain and took my stitches out. I now have to wear a compression garment 24/7 for the next 4 weeks. I can't wait to get this part over with. I'm ready to show off this body I invested in. I still have some stretch marks but I'm not complaining because I still look 1000000 times better than I did post op. During my next visit he said we'd discuss scar therapy treatment. I also have new tape applied to my incision so I still don't know what it looks like. Guess I'll find out in 3 weeks. As for my physical progress, I'm good. I'm walking and bending fine. I don't feel like my body is going to split in half if I stand straight up anymore. I'm back to working my normal hours with no issues. I am still sleeping in my recliner. I added more pillows to it and it's just more comfortable now for me. Normally I sleep on my side and I tried to lay in my bed and it just wasn't working. Besides that, ladies I'm coming along better than I'd imagined.

So today I decided to go back to work. You all probably think I'm crazy lol. Don't worry cause so did the rest of my coworkers. I took it easy and the type of work I do is sedentary so it didn't require a lot of movement. However, I couldn't walk long distances without becoming short of breath. MY BACK WAS KILLING ME THOUGH!!!!! I still walk a little hunched over so I was putting a lot of strain on my back. Outside of that, I had no real issues. I came home and put my feet up for a few hours to see if I really over did things today. I just got up and took a shower. These pics were taken after I got out and honestly, I don't see any major swelling. Oh, and please excuse the bulge in some of the pics. Just my luck, my cycle came on today. UGHHH!!!! Now I'm not going to know if I'm swelling or bloated Lol. Anyway, I go see the doctor on Wednesday so I'll update you ladies then.
