Decided to Do This...but Need Help from Ya'll - Austin, TX

Its Final..I Am Doing It. - Austin, TX

Hi July TTuckers...anyone excercising yet? I am 4 and half week po and haven't started workout yet. I have appt with ps next week and will ask when based upon my current condition. It still hurts when coughing and sneezing so I guess I haven't healed inside yet. I can't wait to be normal again.

I returned to work after 3 week PO. My behind hurt so bad from sitting on the chair all day. I had lipo around hips and flanks but I wonder why the lower bottom hurts so bad.

It will be 3 weeks PO for me tomorrow. Just like you APMama, my hips and sides are tender these days with some aches. But I blamed it on lipo since I had some in that area. I do swell as the day goes. Sleeping is still a problem becoz of my tender behind so I have to adjust my position many times. And tossing and turning is not an easy job after surgery. I walk straighter but by the evening when swelling takes over I haunch a lil bit. It hurts bad if I cough and sneeze ...wonder when it won't hurt. I started applying bio oil in my tummy area ( not over incision). I put silicon sheets over incision. I just want this scar to fade quickly. Any others ways to make that happen quicker?

I had an appt with my ps. I am 11 day PO and they pulled my drain out. I was scared that it will hurt but no pain. PS said everything looks great and puffines and puckering will go. I told him about my scar at sides being high than I expected. He said he is not concerned and that almost all of his patients' side scar fades away completely. I still asked if there's an option later to move the scar down and he said there is but I need to 6-8 months. So for meantime they are going to order some silicon sheeting for me to put from next week. Btw my scar is very thin like a line. My bellybutton doesn't have any stitches or scar. Hopefully it fades and not have to do revision.My bellybutton doesn't have any stitches or scar. I can sleep anyway I feel comfortable so I am going to sleep sideways from tonight. I feel good still haunching but just slightly. They will see me in 4 weeks.

Hi all I am 10 days PO including surgery day. I have not been able to sleep well for past 4 nights. I try to sleep on a recliner and also have made my bed look like recliner with tons of pillows. The problem is my butt hurts so bad after some time. This morning I was frustrated and threw extra pillows from my bed and slept sides ways with my legs fold. I think I actually fell asleep for 45 mins. But later got scared if that was ok. How are you guys sleeping and when did you guys sleep sideways?
