I am schedule to have surgery which includes a pannicluectomy, hernia repair and muscle repair (diastis recti repair). I am just wondering is the end results will be similar to a tummy tuck? Also, would you recommend a binder or faja after this type of procedure? Thank you!
The night I was released, I caught my right side drain on a doorknob. The next day, I was admitted back in the hospital and had to receive 2 blood transfusions. Not less than a week after, the doc removed right side drain. Three weeks later, he removed the left. Now, my right side is still swollen. He said it's far, but I think hematoma. Will it go down? Should I continue with a binder? It's not painful. Just looks like nothing had been done
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?
I am 6 days post op and wore the binder home that they gave me in hospital. I came home day two with 2 drains one fell out day 3 went in nurse (surgeon on holidays) removed other drain. Worn binder 24/7 but today took off as thighs were numb. Some edema in legs but had prior to surgery. No temp no soreness. can't find a case where someone has just had panniculetomy (no upper abdomen work no muscle tightening ). I am still overweight (around 220 pounds). Had surgery due to rashes and back pain
