So far everything is good, my cuts are completely healed and I started scar treatment. I'm off the strong pain pills and I feel great. I'm still very swollen and numb.

7 weeks post op

Just started work this week, it's been hard to get back in the groove of things, but my doctor and his team especially his nurse daisy have been great and are always willing to answer my questions and make me feel at ease.

Good luck!
It gets easier each day. I went back to work in 2 weeks and the first week back was tough. Are you still taking pain meds?
My wife says men have no pain tolerance, lol I still take because I scared that if I don't I'm going to feel more pain. I tried to not take them the first couple days of work and it didn't go so well.
