The struggle continues
WORTH IT$9,000
Today I had my visit with my ps. The good news is I'm healing well. I received the okay to hit the gym. I have to start off slow and wear my compression garmet. The bad news is he prescribed me neurontin again. For the past few days I haven't been sleeping. My back and my right side makes it almost impossible to get comfortable. Today I got before and after pictures and I LOVE my results. When I get discouraged with being uncomfortable I have something to look at and remind me why I did what I did. Lastly I'm waiting for the swelling to be completely gone, but I know that will take time.

Finally feeling better!!
Yesterday I had a visit with my PS. He said everything looked good. I expressed the tenderness in my back and still being very uncomfortable. He prescribed me neurotin again to help with the nerve pain. I showed him a different type of cg because I was struggling with the one I have. He gave me the ok for that as well as the okay to start my multivitamin pills. I took the meds last night and feel asleep. I took one this morning and of course went back to sleep. After a good nap my husband and I went out and had lunch. We also stopped and visited with a few friends. It felt so good to be able to go out today. Just yesterday morning I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel but today I am surely a believer. I even showered yesterday by myself. 16 days PO and I'm feeling great! I almost forgot to mention I put on jeans for the first time today :)

It does feel great to finally get out and feel kinda normal again! What compression garment did you get?

I'm still using the one from the doctor. I purchased 2 from Walmart but because of the uncomfortably of my back I had a problem getting it up and down, so I went back to the original one. I ordered a new one from amazon and as soon as I get it I will post a picture. I told him my issues and he gave me the okay to order the new one.

Ok thanks! I have waist cinchers that I used prior to surgery but I think they're too tight. The one he gave is too long for me, so I have to fold it over at the top.
