3 weeks post TT updated pic

Here is my latest pic.  Healing great!  Still have a few wrinkles and some dents but getting better.  May be from the compression binder?  I will ask surgeon, next apt on the 15th.  So glad to have the extra skin/fat gone!  Still sore internally from the hysterectomy, but better each day. I hope to start some slow exercise in the next week or so.

I think that looks pretty good; and hoping to exercise soon wow. You had a hysterectomy at the same time. You are a brave girl.

I am scheduled in Dec for a fleur di lis and bat wing removal and I am second guessing doing both surgeries the same day.

I would not do arms at the same time.  I use my arms to pull myself up from sitting cause my abs are still sore.

I am just thinking of doing some treadmill or upper body  sm hand weights.  Nothing very hard, that's for sure :)

did the PS do muscle work on your tummy?  My PS says my muscles are good and tight and I don't need anything done to them. I have been doing core body workouts for three years and running so I am hoping that helped.

I have had 2 kids, so yes mine did work on muscles and had hysterectomy at same time, so you will be in less pain.

Needing the muscle tightening has nothing to do with what shape you are in now or how much you work out. The muscles can spread from childbirth and/or being obese. Once they have pulled apart, no amount of exercise will help pull them back together and they much be tightened surgically. I was in tip-top shape when I had my lbl and still needed the muscle tightening. I'm glad I had it done.

Thanks for posting this.  After reading on OH so many times about childbirth being the reason for muscle tightening I was hoping to avoid that painful part of the LBL since I haven't had any children.  My doctor said that would be easier for him, too, but if I wanted the best results I need the muscle tightening as well. 

Looks great!  The dents probably are from the compression binder.
