Finally Going Through with It. :-D - Boyds, MD

Sooooo I'm six weeks out, figured I would get on and upload some pics.
I am relatively through with pain but I am still in the process of breaking up scar tissue in my hips. This garment is now getting on my nerves so badly that I want to rip it off most of the time but it's okay, I'm leaving it on. Also, I am finally getting all the sensation back in my skin.
I am curious, has anyone that has had this done experienced up and down swelling? Some days I feel really skinny than others I feel like my stomach is swollen... I wonder if this is normal..?

So I'm two weeks post op today, I'll add pictures. On Monday I found out Thant I had a seroma in my stomach , more specifically one on each side of my lower abdomen and the doc drained about sixty to a hundred ccs of stuff from me. He had me come back on Wednesday and drained about 160 more ccs from me but I don't seem to be swelling back up at all. He wants me to come back Saturday, he's keeping on top of it which I like though he also had me stuff tube socks into my garment to tighten it around the abdomen. This has been making me sore, but seems to keep the fluid from coming back.
Anyway, all seems well though I'm just not sure where I should really be two weeks out and I am really hoping to be back to normal And back to work at a months time.

Well, I had my first surgery on Tuesday, my second on Thursday and it was odd because I did the tummy first and that hurt soooo bad. My back and hips didn't really hurt at all. The doctor is awesome as always but I just wante to post up some pics I took quickly after a shower that I desperately needed.. :-D
