Well, I'm 10 days post op now. I had my first follow up appointment yesterday and got my drain tube removed. I'm still having difficulty getting in & out of bed but it's getting a little easier each day. It's probably due to the major muscle tightening I had. So much so that I have a deep crease in my upper abdomen that's from the sutures being placed deep in my fat. As the sutures dissolve, the crease will flatten. My dr also told me that I didn't have to wear the tight binder anymore and that I could wear a spanx type garment if I wanted to. I'm still quite swollen and my back & sides are tender to the touch but I'm making progress. Can't wait for the crease and swelling to go down so I can see the final result :)
How are you feeling today? My upper abs are the worse due to the muscle repair. If I didn't have to get up & down, I'd be fine but gosh is it ever painful....
