Diary of an abdominoplasty - 6 weeks on

I can hardly believe it has been six weeks since my surgery. It has felt like a looooong road to recovery, but six weeks - hey that's not a lot of time in the scheme of things.
I can honestly say it has only been this week I have started to feel things have settled. 
Not wanting to gross anyone out, but I have had 'the ooze' for 5 weeks. (Lymph fluid oozing and in some cases gushing out my belly button. eeeewwwwwww!) I have had to resort to taping breast pads and cut up nappies over my leaky button. 
Also, I can tell you wearing Spanx 24/7 for 5 weeks is like 5 weeks of being a human sausage!
BUT, I now have an after pic which I am pretty happy with. When I look at the before, I just can't believe how bad my poor tum was. I feel like I am back to the old me and it's so great!
So, in retrospect, would I do it again?????
Heck yes!

So happy to be able to pick up my baby again - it's been a long 6 weeks!

Before (eck!)

  3. Hi Jo, I thought about you the other day and thought 'I must check and see how you're going'. I didn't realize it has been such a difficult healing process... I've just read back over the last few of your posts and read the 5 day after surgery post - I really felt for you. I'm so so glad everything has finally settled now with your tum. The difference is amazing! x

  4. Your before and after pics are amazing. I can bet you went to a very skilled surgeon because the result of your tummy tuck surgery looks great after 6 weeks.

    Some similar pics convinced I found here convinced me to have breast augmentation a while ago and I'm sure your pics would convince any woman that having tummy tuck worth all the money in the world.
