Day 6, drain came out (ouch) and had first look at scar. So far so good. Looks like it will heal nicely and in thin line. Will post photos soon.
I stopped wearing the compression garment my doctor put on me in the hospital after 4 days because I just couldn't breathe anymore. I literally woke in the middle of the night feeling like I was being suffocated. Was given a second stage garment today and it feels a lot better.
With the drain out today I felt ok to leave the house so spent most of the day out, walking, having lunch etc. Without the garment on I still feel a little vulnerable in the tummy but with the garment on I feel like I could go for a run, not that I would!
Thanks Angiemcc.
Justforme, good luck with your operation. I'm sure you will be fine. I'm so glad I just went ahead and did it. It's amazing to think you have something you dislike one minute and it's literally gone the next. Take care.
