Well I went back to work yesterday after 2 weeks.. the days were tiring and I was sore guess from sitting in a chair all day and having to wear normal clothes instead of comfortable clothes. But all in all it was okay.

It has been a little over 4 weeks since surgery and things are getting better every day. Still swelling some and been massaging that mederma cream into my scar area hoping that will help the scar to look better.

Great review?

Dr Wilson said he doesn't use the drains anymore. How was it for you?
Tricia2010 28 Nov 2010
It was easy not having to deal with anything else to me just by reading on here the drains seemed like another thing to deal with.

Was just looking at your pics... we have very similar before pics of the belly (my surgery isn't until Dec 28th). I cant believe how great you look after 1 week... I hope you will post some 3 week photos soon!
Tricia2010 28 Nov 2010

WOW! I imagine I have a couple pounds that I could lose :)
Christina Grand Rapids 22 Nov 2010
Even with swelling, it has to feel great to no longer deal with saggy skin :)
Kimmers25 (Community Manager) 22 Nov 2010

Oh yes that is definitely the bonus!
Tricia2010 23 Nov 2010
That is so true. I had a dr appt today and he told me they removed 3 1/2 pounds of skin....WOW.
Kimmers25 (Community Manager) 23 Nov 2010

WOW is right...how are you feeling today and how did work go?
Tricia2010 24 Nov 2010
I have been really sore today, dr took off the steri tape off my scar and my tummy feels like it is going to open up, real tender feeling. I started the mederma cream on my scar last night and it felt funny putting it on the scar. I am sure all this will take time to work out.
Kimmers25 (Community Manager) 24 Nov 2010

I bet you are sore.  The first couple of weeks back to work I was a total train wreck.  I would swell up by noon, was tired and sore and pretty much wanted to cry by the end of the day. 

It will be ok without the tape but I know it does feel strange.  It is a really crazy sensation but it settles down in 3-4 days.  Just keep massaging the tummy and incision line with either Mederma cream, Bio Oil of Palmers Vit E oil. 
Christina Grand Rapids 21 Nov 2010
You look fabulous!
Tricia2010 22 Nov 2010
thank you! Will be glad when more of the swelling is gone but am happy with the results so far,
Kimmers25 (Community Manager) 20 Nov 2010

I am glad to hear you are doing well!   The first two weeks back to work are the worst but then all up hill from there.  Keep posting the picture updates!!
Tricia2010 20 Nov 2010
I hope so! of course the holidays will keep me busy!!!
Kimmers25 (Community Manager) 21 Nov 2010

Oh yes they will!  I had a little panic attack yesterday when I realized that Thaksgiving is this week...YIKES!
Kimmers25 (Community Manager) 19 Nov 2010

Glad to hear your appt went well :)   Can't wait to see your after pics. I bet you look amazing.
