1 Month Postop

We have finally hit 1 month postop!!! I can definitely see better definition of my torso now...especially first thing in the morning when I wake up and my swelling is at its lowest. Still uncomfortable along the incisions but getting better slowly. If I do too much or lift heavy I will get a deep ache in my upper ab muscles too...almost like a cramp. 

Surgeon did say to give it 8 weeks to see all the swelling go down...we are halfway there! There was a few days where my belly button scar had a bit of drainage and looked red...I stopped using the scar cream gel in that area and applied triple antibiotic ointment with a bandage on top. Funny enough, as soon as I did that I noticed a bit of clear suturing material that had come out of that hole. It came out on its own, then it closed up nicely and the redness and drainage went away! I apologize, I didn't take any pictures of this. I would have contacted the surgeon but since it got better all on its own I decided not to. 

Here are the progress pics!
