Never Expected to Get One - Frederick, MD

Posting 3 week PO side view for all to see. I'm still swollen. My stomach will go down much more. I will update with a new picture in about 3 weeks.

3 weeks PO. I'm doing well and on my way to recovery. I'm finally seeing some of the results even though I have a wound vac in place. I tried on a pair of my old jeans and WOW, they are like 4-5 inches too big! That was very exciting! I have lost 12lbs so far and 5 inches around my waist. I'm hoping to lose even more weight and more inches once the swelling goes down. I will post pictures once the wound vac is removed. I am happy with everything!

8 days PO...I've had a set back. My surgery took an extra 1.5 hours resulting in an area of my skin and tissue that died and had to be removed. I will be getting a wound vacuum on Monday. My PS said that my case was unusual due to the damage to my skin and muscles from my twin pregnancy. I fully trust him and his staff and his knowledge of how to handle this set back. I will be taking more time off work. This is the first time that I've been able to actually get up and get to the computer to write anything. I am in alot of pain (not where the incision site is from the TT), but the wound area. I know that everything will be fine. That area will just be scarred more and I'm ok with that. Over all, I'm doing as well as can be expected. I have a wonderful husband that is taking great care of me and my children have been pitching in to help also.
