My dr still has not put me in a CG nor has he mentioned it! Wonder why?? Whenever I mention it he tell me "not yet" just don't understand why I am the only one on the MM site that doesn't have to wear one!

May 14th, 2012 - Monday Day 14 PO Went back to PS today. Still have on dressings :( and still can't take a real shower. :( But did get a few stitches out. The Dr said the hard mass was due to trama and will eventually go away.Have to travel next week for work and wondering how I'm going to be able to be in public with all this gauze on. Will need to change the dressings myself all week long. I shouldn'T be so negative... You guys are all so positive all the time. With that said, I am feeling better every day, and I have all of you as new friends. Have a great week!

ok first. WELCOME!.. I to had a hard area that went away on its own. Dr told me that there is a lot of trama and this is major surgery.. but its all normal. NOW> with that said do not hesitate in asking you PS questions. gosh call if need be. I feel for you changing the dressings on your own... I did have help so I cant imagine... I mean I could have done it but was greatful I didnt have to. Now I have a review too. and I tried to post daily. If you go to my review scroll down to my posts begining January 6th. then go from there.. that was when I had my MM.. Keep us posted. and we are here to support you in this recovery... I will say you should feel much better each day and by day 10 to 14 youll be wanting to get back to normal...But PLEASE we all do that and most of us wish we would have just done the getting back to normal MUCH slower... I mean just dont try to do everythig in one day...

Thank you! I feel MUCH better knowing that this hard area is normal. Went to see my PS today and he said the same thing that you did! I will read your review. Thank you soooo much, you have know idea how your support has helped me!

Oh your welcome! I know I had a lot of support here too. And there is no way I could have mentally managed with out it. I'm glad you talked to your PS. that spot took some time to go away so I always second guessed my PS but HE WAS RIGHT... funny thing. I told him he was right NUMEROUS tines... I just got the stiches out from my revisions and NEED to get pictures up.. and your NOT the only one who has not been put in a CG. so dont let that panic you.. I do think it can be confusing and hard because there is not ONE way of doing thing.. but you picked your PS for a reason so you need to trust him. did you have lipo or anything like that? I did not.. I will say that the brand of shorts called Underarmour that bicyclist wear. the black ones.. I like mine. they are not super tight but do help me feel secure.. You will be fine for traveling I am sure. So how far do you need to travel? how long will you be gone? And dont appologise or feel bad about the "blues" or a bit of negative.. girl that to is normal. not fun but normal... Just remember this part of the process is temporary.. and think of how fast really the last year has gone by...... soon this will be a distant memory.. now just to keep updating and venting or whatever you need to do to get through it.. ok?? hug

My tummy is really tight right above my insicion and now i notice a bulge that was not there before. Is this Normal?
Wow, what a story! I can't believe how long you were in surgery. You got the works and I can imagine you have had some tough times this last week. So, today was the day you got to see your PS again, yeah? How did that go?
