Comparison Before & at 4 weeks post op

These are just to compare the difference from the way my body was before surgery to the way my body is at 4 weeks post op. I definitely am much happier with my body than I was before surgery.

4 weeks post op

I'm still sore in my abdominal muscles especially worse if I sneeze, cough, or laugh. I can't straighten my back completely yet without feeling a pulling sensation. I'm definitely noticing my energy level coming back. I'm trying not to do too much though cause I noticed my swelling gets worse if I do a lot. I have to remind myself that I just had major surgery a few weeks ago; even though I feel like I can do things I still need to take it easy. Get rest and take time to heal.
Did notice a "spitting stitch" on my left side where one of my drains were. So I googled it and read that I should keep it clean and put neosporin. I am going to have my PS snip it if it doesn't come out on its own. I'm scheduled to see him next week.
Other than that I'm noticing improvement everyday, even with my belly button. I still haven't gotten used to having a flat tummy. It's so wierd cause in my mind I haven't registered that my tummy is not the way it was before.

18 days post op

I had my drains removed about 4 days ago. I thought it was going to hurt, but it was just weird. I felt instant relief once they were out. I was so tired of having to deal with them.
I am starting to get my energy back. Just little soreness but bearable. I can't walk completely upright yet, but I can walk a lot better.
I noticed swelling more after the drains were removed. I hope the swelling will go down soon. My belly button is slowly healing, I haven't been stressing about it as much.

My consultation went well. He is very professional and I felt comfortable. He's a serious doctor, not like some doctors that will joke or smile. But I'm ok with that. His staff was friendly and helpful. 2 days post op I text his cell phone with a photo and question I had a concern about cause it was a Saturday and the office was closed. He called and spoke with me and answered my questions. I feel that I can reach him anytime I need to. I went in for my 2 week post op, they took me right in. I did not have to wait. The staff was awesome as usual. Dr. Kadz removed my drains, not painful at all.
