Ashique4

1 month Post-OP

2 weeks Post OP!!! I'm pleased with my results! I'm still swollen in my pubic mound and lower abs; but other than that I feel and look great!! This was exactly what I needed to get myself on the right track to become a healthier person. I went back to work 11 days Post Op for a full day. I was swollen before I started moving around more and now the swelling is minimal. I wear my binder at night and a compression garment during the day. I plan to start walking daily next week for 2 miles. Once I'm cleared by my PS, I plan to resume aerobic activity.

I"m PO Day 7 and I FEEL like I could have went back to work today. I'm scheduled to return on Monday for 1/2 day. My worst day was the night of my surgery. I felt like I was going to pass out; but I think it was the meds! I stop taking the pain pills PO Day 4 and thought it's still difficult to get up and down; I'm pushing myself to have normal days. I'm in the garment for 3 hours 3 times per day and that's a challenge; but it definitely helps with the swelling. I am sending up prayers for your recovery to be smooth sailing!!!

Oh - I forgot - COUGHING is the worse!! Definitely get the cough drops!!!!

I'm PO Day1 and I love my results - even with the swelling. My surgery was scheduled for 10:30 on 12/20. They called me back promptly and had me undress and put on a robe. The anestelogosit (sp) came in and set-up my IV. He was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable. My PS, Dr. Daniel Ness, came in a marked me up and explained everything to me with tummy present!! Joke of the house - You let another man write on your body while I watched!!! (LOL). I waited another until 11:05 and went to the OR. After my surgery, I remained in recovery for about an hour and was on my way home at 2:30. Hubby was golden giving me my meds and charting my output. Day #1 - drains had 100ml in 1 and 25 in the other. Today both have output of 25ml. I had a brief episode with nausea and just feeling I wouldn't make it. I think my family was doing to much --hubby trying to provide meds; empty catherer and drains. My daughter put a cold rag on my face and that seemed to make everything much better. I also have shots that prevent blood clots; but was informed if I walk 5 times a day; I won't have to have those anymore! Also - getting up and down is a challenge. For the short ladies, I'm 5feet even and I purchased the toilet seat riser; it has helped me tremendously. So far, my recovery has been better than I anticipated. I love my results already and I'm glad I made this investment to make me feel better about myself. Take care....those that are considering a TT - research the PS and be confident with your decision. Those that have scheduled this procedure; I can attest, the surgery has nothing on labor. I had a 3 hour labor and a 24 hour labor. Happy Healing!!!

I'm day 1 PO; no poo; but my recovery thus far hasn't been painful. My PS requires me to walk 5 times a day for 15 minutes. I"m still slightly hunched over; but I'm actually sitting at the pc now. I took percocet yesterday after the surgery and 1 today. I've asked hubby to only give me ibuprofen. I received my compression garment at the PO today and was directed to only wear it 3 times a day for 2 hours. My drains are still in with only 50ml/cc total!! I was in such high hopes that he would take one out; but stated he will on Wednesday when I return. Sleep was great, I didn't rent the recliner; so I was propped up with pillows all around. I do not have an appetite; but have been drink the broth of the chicken soup. I love my results!!!
