Can't Wait, but Now I'm Nervous Too! :) - Oceanside, CA

Hey Julie,
just wanted to shoot over and see how you're doing! You look great, from your pics!! :) I know, I have a spot that's skin necrosis, so I know how you feel about looking everyday to see if it's healing! It just takes time, it'll eventually get there. :) Other than that, how are you feeling? Hope everything heals fast for you! :)

Hey girl! :) I just read that your hubby wasn't gonna be able to go to your pre-op appt with you, while this sucks, I don't think it'll hurt anything. If he has any questions that he wants answered then he can just let you know so you can ask and let him know the answers. :) The only reason they need to be there is if they have questions, or just support with you if you need it. My hubby went with me to my initial consultation, but did not go to my pre-op appt or any post-op appts, cause he can't take off work. It's not too big a deal about it, unless you are uncomfortable with him not being there. Good luck! Hope this helps you out! ;)

Hey Julie, yea, I felt like that walking around for a while too, it's gotten better, but sometimes I still feel like I do! ;) I had trouble crossing my legs too, for a while anyways, now I can, but sometimes it's still uncomfortable. Yea, I've still got leakage from mine too! I'm hoping that the doc will let me do something else, rather than wear the binder with bandages, but we'll see. Still got 5 days before I go in to see the doc, but I'll let ya know what he says! Hopefully it's good news! =) It just gets easier and easier every day with moving around and doing stuff! :)

Hey Julie! :) Yea, I'm hanging in there, I can go and do most things, but I'm still not lifting anything. Most times I can be on my feet for a couple hours and be ok, but I get tired really fast. :) My back only bugs me when I stand over the sink and wash dishes, then it gets sore, but other than that it's fine. Yea, that's the thing that sucks about openings or necrotic tissue, is it takes even longer to heal, I mean the regular healing time is long enough, but now it is going to take even longer, but in the end, it'll be great! :) I go in to see my doc on the 3rd too, so hopefully I won't have to wear the binder anymore after that! I'm getting pretty tired of it! But I've already got a spandex body shaper to wear after, that'll look better under clothes! ;) Hope that you are able to go home, that would be great for you! :)

Thanks girl! ;) It's just that my blood flow to that area wasn't good enough to keep the tissue alive. But it's kind of common, thankfully mine isn't very big or bad. Yea, I'm pretty happy with my results! =)
