PO day 6 and all I been doing is resting walking ever 3 hours and eating..I don't have any pics because the doc do not let his patients change out the dressings so I have to go back 2 or 3 days a week for dressing changes. They say it cut down on infections so today when I go I will have the nurse to take pics. So far I haven't been in any pain I stop talking my pain meds on PO 4. I am very active I play a lot of sports and I'm never at home and the worst part of this is I hate sitting in the damn house all day. I have been sooooo bored and it's driving me crazy. My mom and sister they come by and sit around for hours but I just can't keep siitting around. my sister is here with me for aweek and she has been very helpful but i just cant take it, so Im going back to work on Monday, i will be PO 11 my job is a sit down job have anyone went back to work early? PO 3 my friend came over and pick me up and took me out to eat and I was still bent over but I didn't care I wanted out the house!!!! I guess I have to be patience and that is something I'm still working on PATIENCE!!!! Good Luck to everyone else on this journey!!!!

I feel that...BORING! I am active too....and lying here has been a real trial. I think you will be fatigued, and may swell a bit, but there are plenty of gals who went back to Orkney early. You'll be great! Happy healing!

Sorry I haven't been able to give an update, but i have a son that plays select football and baseball and the only break we get is winter break and then its on to the next sport which is baseball, so we start practicing for spring baseball, I live in Texas and sports is a major thing out here we love our sports we play all year long non stop including myself!!!! Doc said I should be able to start softball practice in Feb. and I will also be playing spring flag football. Well so far I have been loving my new tummy but i hate the swelling.I had my drain remove at po day 11 and it was a very painful feeling. I have to go in to the doc office 2 times a week for dressing changes, they change your dressings for you to prevent infections which I like. Haven't had any complications at all (thank GOD) and I have been doing a lot of moving around. I went back to work at po day 11 with the one drain lol and back and forth to my sons events and still no complications but swelling. I have uploaded sum pics u can see the swelling on my sides as well as in the front. What I don't like is the lipo scars on the front of my stomach, wish the doc could of went in thru my bb but he said they will look like chicken pots scars once they heel, oh well I don't have that pooch anymore!!! Also my bb is so ugly to me, hopefully as it continues to heel it will get better. I want everything to be right when it is time for my trip to Jamaica for a week and then Bahamas 2 weeks later all in March!!! Cant wait, I Hope everyone is loving there new Tummy!!!!
