It's been a little over 2 weeks now and I feel pretty good! It's weird trying to stand straight up cause my stomach is so tight. The scabs are starting to come off when I apply the healing cream (gross lol). I'm back at work. Taking things slow. Lifting only small dogs. I find taking a shower is more exhausting than going to work haha. I also noticed the rippling is slowing going down. Hurray! I'm starting to see the sunny side of this whole experience.

There is some "rippling" on my one side.. I wonder if it will go away with the swelling? There is a lot of swelling around my belly button though. So far I'm pretty pleased. My new tummy is 10 times better then my old. I'm still hunched over. I can't wait to stand straight again. I have scoliosis so this surgery has been hell on my back.

I'm 3 days post op and I'm feeling okay. I get my drains out today, yay! So far my experience has been alright. All yesterday I had a fever over 100.0. It finally broke this morning. Every time I get up to move around my head feels like its going to explode and I have barley gotten a good nights sleep. The most I've slept was 4 hours straight.
I'm still very very swollen. I know it will go down but It still makes me nervous. I'll post some pics in a couple of days.

It is good to hear from you :) You are in the worst stage of the recovery right now so just hold on. Sleeping will not be easy at all but just do the best you can. Take a nap as needed in the day and stay on top of your pain meds.
Drink your fluids and eat healthy. Are you taking a stool softener?

Hello! Yes I'm taking a stool softener. It's helped a lot. I have to keep one of my drains in for a couple more days. Having the one taken out was one of the most weird, painful, and uncomfortable experiences I've ever been through. I'm dreading the day the other one comes out. :-X

The second drain coming out could feel completely different. I do now that you will be glad when it is out though. Just another step towards normal :)
