WORTH IT$6,000
Hi All sorry I took so long to upload photos. I am very swolen,and still feel sore.But nothing that I can't handle. Po day 11 today. How long does it take for the swelling to go down? I am going back to work tomorrow and will be sitting the whole day. Hopefully the swelling won't be worse. I had a bit of an extended tummy tuck as I told the doctor I don't want doggie ears :-) Hopefully it will help. Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys PO day 8 today. I had my first shower today. Almost fainted. Could not breath properly. Is that normal. Felt better after putting die cg back on. Am in a bit of pain. When will I start to feel normal. I start to work next week.

I felt a little light headed after my first shower. Actually after my first few showers. It has to do with the temperature of the water and the steam I am sure. Just take it easy. And make sure you aren't alone when showering just in case. And if you continue to worry about it, call your PS. I am sure they will be helpful in this area. Good luck and don't worry, it is worth it. I am 4 weeks PO and I still don't feel normal, but I think that takes a while longer. You will do fine returning to work. Just take it easy and rest when you have a chance. Good luck and welcome to the flat side!!!!
I was told to wait a half hour after taking off the CG laying down before a shower to let the blood pressure stabilize before taking a shower to reduce the risk of fainting. Good luck to you.

Hi there, I am 6dpo and my doc took the drains...
Hi there, I am 6dpo and my doc took the drains out 2 days ago. I am allowed to take the cg off on Saterday and shower. But I am not sure what to do with my incision afterwords. Do I put some of the M3 tape over it after I showered and dry it? Or do I leave it open. I still have stiches and will only be taken out next Tuesday? Please can somebody give me some advise on this. Thanks so much!
Otherwise I am doing fine. Boredom is setting in. May only lay down or stand up. By when may I sit. Going back to work only next Friday 1 Feb. So hopefully I can sit by then. I have a desk job :-)
Anyway goodluck to those having their opps this week. All my prayers to you.

After the shower just keep the incision clean and dry. Leave it open to air and heal:)
Thanks Kimmers25
I always just left mine open to air and never had a problems arise from that. I did however have a tendency to feel light headed after removing the garment and getting in the shower the first few times. Take your time and be careful :)
