it went okay! they found a bit more than what they were initially expecting so they had to make 3 incisions. im very tired and drained, and my tummy really hurts. im relieved it's over just dreading if and when it comes back 🙈xxxx

The incisions aren't nice mine were really sore, but they are healing up well I had mine 8 weeks to day and I've been rubbing bio oil on the and they are fading quite nicely.

Yes it takes a while to get your energy back best thing you can do is rest and just do little walks.

Have they put you on contraceptive pill or anything like that ?xx

that's good! I have some of that so as soon as my

stitches go and its closed il start putting bio oil on them. yeah I just had a little wander around m&s and now I'm exhausted! not yet no.

not sure what the next step is? I have a follow up with my consultant at the end of May so i will have to see what she says! xx

Yeah it's odd the recovery you think you are ok to do something then after you realise that you shouldn't have done it lol

Yes definitely get the bio oil on when they have closed I'm pleased with how much they are fading already as 8 week isn't long. I hope it stays away for you and your recovery is good x
