Now that a month has passed there's almost no pain, just a slight pulling sensation around my navel and lower belly, and my lower belly still feels quite firm. The scars are still about the length of a thumbnail and still healing. The bruising is all gone, so apart from the surgical scars there's barely any trace of the surgery. My weight is about 1 kg less than before surgery, and since my lower belly used to stick out a lot, I really feel the difference there. It's only one month so there's still swelling, and I hope the swelling on my sides goes down soon~!
