WORTH IT
Its been 7 weeks and I am still trying to get a feel of what I shouldn't be doing so that I can heal right. Now that I am in full speed back at work I notice a lot of swelling at the end of the day. I feel a lot better when I am wearing my back brace and body shaper. My opening in my incision is healing very well. The biggest positive is I am trying to get back in the gym and the pavement. But in baby steps.

Thank you, I am just ready to get in the gym. He said I could but I am not going to put myself at a higher risk for infection.

Still no regrets
I am a woman of few words so that's why I haven't posted any updates. Today has been one of those days were I am happy I had my tummy tuck but I am wondering did I rush it.
So it's week 4 I believe and I am still having issues with my incision. I currently have one side that's healing well but the left side is not. My incision ripped open a few days ago. When I saw my PS today he said it will be okay gave me positive words to encourage me because I know he felt my frustration. So now I am basically taking care of a wound. I have to pack and clean it two times a day. He said it should be good in 3 weeks and that I can still continue to do my normal activities. I am trying to be as positive as possible because I know things could be worst. This year of healing need to fly by. Oh and whomever suggested the back brace, THANK YOU a million times.

No worries...my left side healed much faster than my right side...I had issues with the jp drain on the right side and I feel like it effected my healing process on that side...I was on antibiotics for one week...my surgeon says it wasn't an infection...I am a nurse..I know the signs and symptoms of an infection...if it was not an infection why prescribe antibiotics...some surgeons say things just to keep u quiet...I'm sure I gave him the blues after that conversation.stay vigilant about making sure ur scar heals properly...I don't care what they say

Thank you. I am now packing it and changing my dressing 2 times a day. I am going to stay positive about it and make sure I keep it clean.
