Hello, I went in 11 days ago and had a mastectomy, panniculectomy, belt lipectomy, brachioplasty, and repair on my abdomen muscles. Pain is fine, back to work after 9 days! I have some extreme swelling and weight gain. I went into surgery at 175, 10lbs of skin removed, I now weigh 184 11 days after. Also, none of my jeans or pants even allow me to move the zipper up, let alone button them. Is it normal to have such swelling (and weight gain) in an area that did not have any surgical work done?
I'm 14 days post opp from a panniculectomy. I have 1 drain left in the middle. My middle one is now leaking at the insertion site (pouring out drainage), I went to my surgeon this am, He said it's not ready to come out and to just pack it with gauze and said to change as needed. The drainage is a light amber color with sentiment in It. I have an increased amount of pain near drain site. I'm just concerned with the amount of drainage and pain. Is any of this normal?
I had a panniculectomy procedure 12/13/17 and JP's removed 12/26/17. Since the removal of the JP on the left side I'm having severe side cramping and I have to walk hunched over. Should I go to the hospital or will the pain improve with time?
Will the swelling go down and my vajayjay look normal again? It never looked like this before now I have a swollen mound and its lopsided....does this go away??? I'm two weeks out and not liking this look....my boyfriend even asked it that gonna look this way or will it be fixed? I already feel like a side show freak that comment didn't help ....help me
My belly button is disgustingly infected. It's green and yellow inside, I have been putting peroxide and polysporin in it everyday, but should I be leaving the abdominal binder off to let it dry or breathe?
