I have had an interesting week. I think I may have over done it with everything and my insides weren't happy about it. I think the Hyst takes longer to heal... I was definitely swelling in my pelvis region, and I even had some discomfort. I think the week prior I was doing everything normal, exercising, sex, pulled some weeds, and I think my insides said NO. This week I have taken it pretty easy, and it's feeling better. On a happy note, I bought bikini number two! I added pics. :-)

Hi, thinking of having a tummy tuck. I know that Dr. Hauge is phasing out and Dr. Hoyt is taking over at that location, but is there anything you regret or were not happy with in your tummy tuck experience? Did he do muscle repair?

Hi, just wondering if you ever had that revision to the top part of your belly? I'm 12 days post-op and noticed yesterday that I had a little bit of excess skin on top of my belly button same as you did. I'm not sure how much of that is normal after having a TT and if not, what can be done to fix it. Hoping to hear from you :)

So happy to say I went 4 days without a compression garment!! Yay!! My stomach muscles are sore today, but I have been basically back to normal. So I don't mind the soreness. I bought bikini number two, a fun string bikini!! One morning when the swelling is low I will have to post some pics. I have to say I am happy that I did this and things keep getting better!! :-)

Well, I got brave this evening and put on my bikini. Considering its the end of the day, I am ok with the way it's all looking. I love how my scar looks. Yay!! So, here are some pics. I honestly don't see too much difference at this point from about week 4 or so, but it seems to be that is the norm.
