Two weeks post surgery
WORTH IT
I can't believe it's been two whole weeks since surgery! I had my final appointment with my surgeon yesterday, which I have to say was kind of sad. (he did both of my surgeries so I have been seeing him for the last 18 months) He was extremely happy with the surgery results. He even went so far as to say once my swelling went down I wouldn't have any love hadles. Woohoo!!
I haven't had any pain to speak of, just being occasionally uncomfortable. Plus, I've made it back to sleeping in my bed, which is nice. I have to continue to wear my binder for another two weeks, then it's up to me if I want to wear it longer. He did say many people change from the binder to Spanx. Have any of you done this?
Also, kind of a random question. my pubic hair is growing back, but because my incision is so low, it is growing where the glue is, and it pulls. I'm afraid to shave still, or mess with the adhesive (it is at the point where it should start falling off) any suggestions?

Amazing! How do you feel?
I feel really good. I haven't taken anything stronger than tylenol since day 4 after surgery. Hoping to have my second drain out soon.
You look awesome. Hope you get your other drain out soon.
Thank you! I got it out today.
That's great. I was glad to have mine out but he took both out at 6 days post op hope wasn't too soon. I have so much swelling everywhere it's awful.
