23 days post op

WORTH IT
Hi everyone.... I am 23 post op and things are going great. I only had a panniculectomy done no muscle work.... when I first got out of surgery I looked like a muffin top but now the swelling is gone down and I still have 2 drains in... lots of fluid coming out of them and I have learned how to get those blood clots out and one of my tubes got a hole in it and my hubby did some "plumbing" and fixed the hose so the doctor didn't take them out too early.

I had very little pain.... having a few issues with my belly button with drainage... I also fell like the binder is part of my body now cause when I take it off I feel strange....

How is everyone else doing?

So did you feel like you still had a round or big belly above your incision line? I am 9 days post op from a panni with a new belly button and I am so far kind of disappointed with how round my belly is above my incision. I thought I would be flatter.... Any info you can give me would be great!!
Did MSI cover any of this ?

I am recovering well. One drain is clog with a blood clot so it is draining extremely slow. I have very little pain and I am walking. Dressing myself is hard. Has anyone had their daring tubes plugged at the entrance of your body what did you do for it
cant wait to see pics
