It is officially 4 weeks now and I feel so good! The skin is still real tender, haven't been able to wear fitted jeans yet and sneezing and coughing kills. But over all I look and feel great!
I hated the drains, got the last one out 2 days ago and was so happy! I went on Hazmat training today to watch and killed me not to jump in level A, but I need to heal. I am swollen and still have the tape on incision, I'm scared to take it off.. Was told mederma is good and body oil and I await my shipment (since islands don't readily have stuff avail.) Overall I'm happy just eager to see end result ;)Where are u a firefighter?
Hi Mindvibe,
I am on week 2 and feel your pain, my back hurt so bad from being bent over and when I coughed I thought I would die, but week 2 is better! I don't think you should drive yet but I know sometimes we have to, I haven't been able to take a shower in two weeks because of the stupid drain. I get my second one out today AND I CANT WAIT! The tightness does loosen up and I can almost stand up straight!
The pain is not that bad over all I take painkillers as needed but it is all worth it.. and I don't wanna deal with under the bandages either I haven't seem my scar yet lol....but hey we are the lucky ones that are able to do this when some people can't.. Keep in touch
Hi,
I was so scared I almost cancelled the night before...but I do not regret it, I am two weeks post op and it has been a journey. I will be real, it did not hurt as must as I thought, I was more frustrated then anything because you will need some help but I feel great. I feel 80 percent normal right now. I suggest if you have someone to help you the first few days, it is hard to get up and down and somewhat painful. It took me 5 years to make up my mind to d o this but I am so happy I did.. Check out my post..good luck.. post everyday it helps.
