I updated the  photos in my album today. I went to my surgeon's office and they removed the steri-strips because my incision line has closed up completely for the excetion of the area just over my pubic area! They have been very impressed with how fast I am healing.  

He thinks the two remaining drains and the stitches in my belly button will be removed on Tuesday.

I changed my privacy settings, you have to be a friend to view the Plastics photo album, so request away.

Wow, that is impressive!  Monica, was there something special you did or took that you feel might have helped your incision to close so nicely? - (like supplements or creams or something). I haven't had surgery, YET, but I know I'll prolly need an LBL or at the very least a TT after my weight loss. Good luck on everything.

I didn't eat anything differently. I did try to boost up my protein intake to 100 grams a day in the weeks before surgery. 

The only thing I can think of is that I have been consistently working out for the past two years...building lots of muscle and running, running, running....it's made me strong from the inside out.

Wow Monica you look great.  And just only a week.  Your healing amazing.  I hope I am just like you. 

And let me tell you you look awesome.  How cool is it have a flat tummy?  Can't wait. 
Are you feeling pretty good? 

Hugs

Its very weird to have a flat tummy, I look in the mirror and I look so narrow.

I have been in mu-mus and pjs with no make-up and no showers for a week. So now I'm beginning to wonder how I will look in a dress, with heels, with make-up....I want to shop.

So I guess I feel pretty good, I'm getting around ok but I don't want to take advantage of it and do too much. So I'm trying to keep myself in check and make myself rest.

You can do this & you're going to look fabulous!!!

Well your amazing.  And thanks for the encouragement.  You have truly given me hope that I will be able to do this.  Took some of my fear away.  Guess i just have to deal with the rest of it.  LOL

Yes rest even though hard to slow down it will be so worth it.

Hugs and kisses
