Fleur De Lis (Tummy Tuck), Arm Lift & Belt Lipectomy After Maintaining 100+ Lb Weight Loss - Cary, NC

I'm now 4 weeks out and was able to work a full week last week. I still find sitting at desk for long period of time uncomfortable. I'm still not 100% and seem to tire after cleaning house or shopping. I'm not sleeping well...seem to be up every 3 hrs so not well rested.

I miss the gym so going to try hopping on the treadmill in the morning. I worry about the swelling since I'm not wearing the binder.

The sores on my back above incision seem to finally be healing (using baby powder) but slow going. I have a few spots on the incision where a gap opened up so using Bacitracin and band aids.

My 1 month follow up isn't until next week so I'm a little anxious to get dr opinion on the openings. The spot above the butt crack is most irritated and difficult for me to care for.

I'm back to work but only working half days right now - not too comfortable sitting upright at a desk for 8 hours since swelling peaks in the afternoon. The blisters don't appear to be improving so will give another week before I follow up with my doctor. I think I may have popped a stitch getting in the car this AM but still have the tape on my incisions so not certain. There was a popping noise and sharp pain which hasn't gone away.

I think I will be pleased with the results once swelling is done - no more roll to pinch! :)
