WORTH IT$7,500
Well I am almost 3 weeks po. Feeling pretty good. Able to get around with no issues. My skin though feels like a bad sunburn which is quite bothersome. I go to my ps tomorrow. My steri strips are starting to come off and my scar looks great except on the left side where is taking longer. Back to work on Monday and hope I can manage being on my feet all day. I do mammograms which requires a lot of moving around. I am sure I will be in bed ss soon as I get home.

Glad to hear that you are getting around pretty good. My skin doesn't feel like a sunburn but it itches like mad around the incision. I keep putting lotion on but its dry and flaky. I am back to work, I sit all most of the day so went back after 10 days. When I can I wear a tank under the binder. It helps a lot. I have a spot that is like a small "hole" in the center of my incision. Was told to slow down and not do so much bending and lifting. But other than that I am healing really nicely. Super excited to be rid of the binder in another month. ugh! I like saying we are halfway there. lol Good luck heading back to work on Monday

Went to first po today. Both drains were removed. Feels freeing. I am doing great and very happy with my results. Swelling has been bothersom but comes with the territory.

Congrats on getting both drains removed. I'm so jealous. I still have one. But was happy about that. Glad to hear you are doing great.

Day 1 post op. Feeling ok. Only trouble is that if I just touch my skin on my abdomen it spasms. Very painful. Has anyone else had that issue.

Might be the nerves to the skin? Are you wearing a binder or compression garment? I had compression garment and couldn't touch the skin that soon. When it begins healing, it may feel tingly and like little movements jumping under the skin...then it can itch. Are you on pain medications? Were abs pulled in, tightened and stitched? They can be painful if you cough/sneeze/laugh.

Sorry for all the questions, just wondering if some of these might be contributing. If 'very painful" and you can isolate where on tummy the pain is, maybe a call to PS would help? Take care and try and get some really good rest! Will be thinking of you.
How are you doing? 1st day was awful because of the nausea but feel great now. Hope throngs are going great for you too.
