Love my results - New pics Omaha, Ne

Thanks for asking. I have been meaning to do an update and you prompted me to get on that! I'll update today and hopefully take some pics too. :)

Thanks for the info. I did go in today and had the blue stitches removed, all but a few. I just saw your updated pics. You are looking good! The new before pics are great in showing what a dramatic change! This will all be worth it in the end for us both :)

Thank you. I feel much better. I finally feel like I'm on the road to recovery and not going backward! :)

Thanks. I'm feeling much better!

My second drain did fall out. I immediately became very worried based on what you are going through but mine was handled quite differently which is odd because we are going to the same place, just different ps. I am seeing Dr. Edney in the same office as Heieck. In fact, Dr. Heieck is the one who sent me to the hospital last week because Dr. Edney was out of town so I saw him instead. I went in yesterday and they felt my stomach and said there didn't seem to be enough to aspirate. Then went back in today and Dr Edney himself came in, not just PA like usual and he said he wanted to be safe and put a new tube in. He sent me straight over to Methodist for ultrasound to see how much fluid there was and where it was located for best postitioning of tube. When I had the ultrasound a dr. on call at Methodist said this was just not enough fluid to constitue a new drain. I do not feel bad or blown up like you describe but it may still be early for that. I hope it does not happen but so far seems ok. It is good that the amount of fluid they remove seems to be dropping, but it is too bad you couldn't have just got a new tube because it sounds like this has been horrible for you, especially with the long drive. I hope it continues to get better. If not you might ask about the tube. But like you said, how much longer can this go on? Your body has to be close to slowing down!
