WORTH IT$15,980
I think my scar is healing well. My problem right now is the tightness. When I turn over in my sleep it feels like I am going to rip something. Also, the lipo area is sore and itching still.

I am finally experiencing the swelling. By the end of my work day I look six months pregnant and feel like I have an rubberband around my belly. The tightness is such an odd feeling.

Overall I think my healing has done went
Well. I still get an occassional pain from the muscle repair , but nothing serious.

Calobrace or Schantz....have to decide

I decided to go with Dr. Schantz. I couldnt have asked for a better surgeon. He is very personable and made me feel like I was a friend rather than a patient. He never once seemed rushed to get to his next patient and always answered all my questions. I am so thankful for Dr. Schantz and his expertise.

I think you look like a movie star!! I'm one day ahead of you and I feel tight at night also. Its actually the only time I wear spanx. During the day I feel okay but at night its worse so I just wear the spanx to bed and it helps so much!!! My lipo areas are sore also--I think that is part of it. Again, you look amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are going to do well. The coughing and sneezing hurt the most. Rent a recliner/lift chair if you can. That was the most helpful piece of information I received. I couldnt have made it without it.

Three weeks out and guess who gets Bronchitis

chnkymnkyJanuary 25, 2014
Yep, Bronchitis at three weeks sucks. Yesterday was my first day back at work. I rocked that 12.5 hour shift in the ICU with only stomach pain from coughing. I expected my back to hurt , but it didnt. Maybe I was just distracted by the excruciating stomach soreness from coughing and the worry of ruining my muscle repair. Dr. Schantz doesnt seem to think I will cause any damage, but the coughing is horrible. I can feel the mucus rattling in my airway. I am taking everything and nothing seems to stop the cough. So Iam just tightening my compression garment and splinting my tummy.

Please pray for the coughing to subside. Thanks ladies.
