4 weeks PO!! Jupiter, Fl

Today makes 4 weeks & I am loving it!! I went back to work part time last week for a couple of days, now back full time this week. My drain sites had been leaking since the last drain was removed 2 weeks ago but now they are dry & I'm oozing liquid at each hip area in my stitches. Thank god for Bounty!! I'm still on an antibiotic but feeling good. I come home tired and nap & hubby is cooking and watching the kids. I do very light house work but not much. I love my results, love my PS. So, so happy I finally got this done! I had talked about this for so long & had dreamed of removing the tire, I can't believe I finally did it!! Clothes fit so nicely now! I'm not having to hide my tire. At the end of September I'm going away for a long weekend to Key West for my Bday & I can't wait!! Just R&R!! My only regret is having it done at the beginning of July, not the end. I miss sleeping on my sides and stomach. I sometimes turn to my left, but only for a little while. Can't wait til I don't leak anymore!! My scar is so thin and looks good. I can't wait for the 4-6 months so I can see the end result. Super happy I did it!! No regrets!! :) Happy Healing to all of you!!

Two days ago I was doing great!! Following everything to a T! Yesterday a pain started on my left side where my stitches are. When I would sit or walk it felt like I have a needle poking me on the inside- so painful!! Got back on Percocet - been having regular BM, so I didn't hesitate to use them, especially since the pain is horrible!! Mt stitches are dissolvable but I'm not sure if I pulled them or if I did something to myself to cause this great pain. First time I cried the pain is so bad. I return to my PS today, hopefully the drains will finally come out! My cc's are getting lower. I'm sick of them but if I need them longer I will of course endure, I want to heal properly. Overall, this set back sucks but each day is a day closer to being healed. I do have small strips of tape over my stitches so I wonder if he is going to take them off. I love my new stomach!! My Dr did a wonderful job. My MR feels healed already and I think he will remove the band-aid off my new belly button today - which I haven't seen yet. I heard about the marble thingy :)
Has anybody else had stitch pain? I swear, I'd take day 1 &2 pain over this pain! I'm do back at work on the 14th - in 12 days! Haven't been very hungry but I eat small stuff to take my pills. Having 14 pounds of stomach removed is so awesome!! I don't miss the heavy sack at all. I can't believe it has finally happened!! It's nice to have the Olympics on to take my mind off the pain. Anybody out there have the same pain? Going to try to post pics!!!

Yesterday I was able to shower for the first time! Felt good to shower. Today I switched to Tylenol bc I've only had one BM & I have a history with constipation. Walking alot around the house then napping. My mom & dad are taking care of me. My mom is with me 24/7. She's been great! My husband & kids visit, which is nice. My tummy feels hot sometimes. I put an ice pack inside to help cool/numb the area. Tuesday I go back to PS, hopefully I'll get one drain removed. I still can't believe I finally did it! I have talked about this for so long & now I've done it! No regrets but the pain was pretty intense. Keeping the Percocet for emergencies! Miss sleeping on my sides & stomach! That's it for now!! Open to any tips/help!! Thanks :)
