Hi RS sisters,
I know it's been a little while since I've posted so I just wanted to check in and give you a little update. I am three months post op and I'm feeling great I have a lot less swelling the last three weeks. I am completely back hitting the gym hard but I'm not losing any weight in fact I'm gaining weight, I was told it's all muscle so I will go with that LOL

The little hole that I once had on my right side is almost completely closed up now and as of last week it stopped ozing, although it wasn't very much coming out from the hole it still required some tape over it.
Hi went bathing suit shopping for the first time with some excitement and I walked out selecting something that is quite revealing for me, it's not a bikini it's a one piece but backless so we'll see if I get the courage up to wear it. LOL
I am still under doctors care for my blood clots but with each and every workout I do I can tell my lungs are getting stronger and hopefully I'll be off the Coumadin soon.
I selected a few shots to show you ladies of my progress. Glad to see everyone is healing.
Many blessings, Jackie

Glad to hear from you Jackie, I think all of us December girls are now busy with our normal lives and don't get on here much. I am so happy to hear you are doing so well in your recovery and are still maintaining that positive outlook even though you had so a rough go of it.
What did you use on your hole and are you still covering it?
Take care and happy healing vibes coming your way

Hello hello hello,
I just wanted to quickly give everyone an update. I've been working out for two weeks now and this week was the first week I could actually push myself and it feels so good to get back in the saddle full force. I I still try to take it easy on the core exercises because I'm scared I'm going to rip my stomach open LOL..
I finally had A night out on the town and let's just say I felt amazing. I never used to like dress shopping as much as I do now LOL...
I really haven't had any complications a little bit of swelling here and there but nothing too horrible. The one thing I have noticed this last week and I've been taking pictures of it every day is a small hole that started it was the size of a pinhead now it's the size of a sharpie marker head, it looks really Weird. Has anyone ever had this happen to them this late in the recovery? I called my doctor she called me in a antibiotic ointment, I pick it up on Monday morning. So other than that no really big changes for me my weight has Stayed at 165 but my waist size as changed drastically. Signing off until next time!

Happy healing ladies.
Jackie

Hi and thank you for the wonderful comment. Now I finally feel like I have the body to match the face. I am so confident now and I love shopping, that's the best part of it LOL might get in trouble... Jk
I had so many obstacles to overcome during the recovery process but I'm glad I'm healing and God is been on my side.
February 14, 2016
You look amazing and so glad you have finally turned the healing corner. I have heard of other women getting openings in their incisions late in the healing game but with some ointment and time they were fine. I think most of the holes closed after about a few weeks. Take care and remember not to over do it.

jackie, you look amazing. Glad you are enjoying shopping, me too! I would see the doc about the hole or have someone check to make sure it doesn't go deep at all. If it does go more than a quarter inch, you might want to be put saline gauze inside so it heals from the inside out. My hole is finally smaller and on the outside looks the same as yours. Now it goes only about 3.5 cm deep (while it used to be almost 6 inches,) so it is tiny now but I still put a tiny bit of gauze in there, for at least a little bit longer so the outside doesn't close before the inside. Anyway, keep up the good work, you look awesome and I love seeing your updates!
