Quick question...Is it normal to be more swollen 11 days postop compared to 3 days post op? I feel and look more swollen. I took pics and I definitely see a difference from day 3 to day11. I still have my drains in. I dont know if that makes any difference at all??? Should I be worried?
Oh my, I'm am terribly scared after reading these comments. I am 7 days post op TT and the itching started last night and hasn't stopped. I cannot imagine having to live with this. I feel bad for everybody dealing with this! Hopefully this too shall pass.
Hello all. Things are definitely getting better. I am now 7 days post op and besides the back pain I am no longer needing the pain medication..Yay! Last night though I had a horrible time with all the itching, today less but nonetheless still very annoying! Did anybody else have all this itching? I know I can't exercise right now, but does anyone know if it would be ok start a diet program that includes colon cleansing? Sitting home not doing much is not too good for my thighs! lol
Thank you.. I will try the heating pad and hot compresses. Day 4 post op is already easier. I am able to walk around a lot more this morning. Question.. I am afraid to touch any part of my tummy or hips in the shower. Is it ok to wash that area or just let water roll over it? Btw, my belly button seems lost in a hole in the middle of my tummy..lol Is that because of the swelling?
I will say this again, I am so glad to read all of these posts. It really does help! Thank You
