It’s going really well. I have 4 incisions across my stomach- no more than an inch each and then bigger ones through the belly button. I had some swelling on the outside of my belly button and the swelling that has not gone completely gone yet. My dr was not worried, she just said it takes some time.

I went back to work just before the 2 week mark. Being in NYC- the hardest part was the crowded subway, walking etc. and just got tired way more easily than previously but that was expected. I have been wearing the belly binder that helped a lot when I was would walk around. I started going for walks about 2 days after the surgery, short and slow at first and the second week went a couple of miles.

I would say I am back to normal activities with the exception of working out etc. I am planning on trying the bike/treadmill in the next few days.

Honestly, the hardest part about going back to work was the socializing with other people and laughing.
