Asked By:joanna99 in Toronto, ON

I'm 3 weeks post op tummy tuck and breast reduction tomorrow. I still have a lot of pain. On Monday my PS changed the dressing to Pico. I have homecare nurses coming to change the dressing. It was changed today and I'm back to see my PS on Monday. There will be another dressing change on Saturday. He has ordered a change every 2 to 3 days. It looks open am is very painful still. I'm only at about 30% back to normal. Still resting a lot. I stopped pain meds on Monday because they don't seem to be helping.
