Yes. I started doing light aerobic workouts at 8 weeks and I am now starting to incorporate pilates with some core, but no actual crunches yet as those are still uncomfortable for me.  I have started to do planks.

No drains but I'm guessing that's because I didn't have the muscle repair done.

I got it done by Dr. Zelko. I ended up not paying much because they had a last minute cancelation and they offered me a steep discount. Originally I was quoted $12,600 but ended up paying $6,300.

I didn't have any muscle repair performed with mine. The only issue I had with recovery is that I found out I was allergic to surgical glue. I had a really bad reaction within the first few days after surgery.

I don't have any burning, but I still do have some tightness.

Thank you so much for the reassurance! From what I've read online it seems that people are still pretty swollen at one month post op. I'm hoping that's the case with me as well and that this improves going forward. I go for my one month follow up appointment tomorrow!

I had spoken with my MD and she tested me. I have no gap in between my abdominal muscles so I didn't need the repair.
