PO Day 20. I am feeling wonderful. I still have one drain and I am only emptying it twice a day, every 12 hours and it is only putting out 20cc within that 12 hours. I feel that it is infected, because it has a really loud smell. I have it covered with a bandage and a pad and it still finds a way of leaking out and getting my undies wet. I know this is TMI and I apologize up front. My incisions are healing well because they do itch but not as much as I thought that they would. I am still wearin my binder and so happy to report that some of the swelling has gone down. On PO Day 18, I took a pic of myself and you can see the difference. I want you to check out the pic and let me know what you think. I am praying that this is a good sign that the swelling is going to go down even more so soon. I go for my weekly appointment this Friday and prayerfully he will take out the last drain. I think this drain has worn out its welcome and it is time for this thing to be evicted. I tried to sleep on my left side and let me tell you, that was a nightmare. It felt as if everything from the right was trying to join in on the left. I will also say that I am finally sleeping in my bed. I moved to sleeping in my bed the night of PO day 17 and I am loving it. Tomorrow is my 3 week PO since my surgery and I still say this daily......I DO NOT REGRET THIS AT ALL

PO Day 16 and I had my second doctors visit. I have no regrets with my procedure or the surgeon. I love his office staff as well as him. I have been treated with the upmost respect since day one. Today he removed the stitches that were in my BB. I didnt realize that I had the kind of sutures that had to be removed and with that being said, I didnt feel a thing because I am still numb in that area. I do have alot of itching on my sides and along the incision line but I am going to say that that is the nervers trying to reconnect. I dont scratch and the itching is not so bad that I need to put something on it. Today was also the day that he took 3 out of the 4 drains out. One of the drains that was on my right side and going thru my mons pubic was giving me alot of pain so he said to go ahead and take it out and when the nurse pulled it out, it had a really long blood clot and it was actually clogging the drain but not to the point that the fluid was backing up and causing me problems. We both looked at that tube and then at each other and that clot was so long it looked like a worm for sure. Then that site area began to really drain once the tube was out and the clot was not blocking it. I go back next Friday and the one last drain that is left should be ready to come out. I am still numb in my stomach but I could feel as she was pulling the drain tube out and it felt really funny. I am now hoping that since the drains are out, maybe some of the swelling will go down as well. I am going to bo and buy some pineapple juice tomorrow because another friend of mine here on RS has said that pineapple juice is suppose to be good for the swelling.
I am now in the market for looking for a good CG. Does anyone know where I can look for a good CG now that I am 2 weeks and 2 days past my surgery? I would love to be able to walk in a store to get one and try it on to make sure it fits but if that is not feasible then I will have to order one online. As you guys can see in my pics, the binder that I have is coming apart so I need a CG ASAP. I am open for any suggestions. I need help with this one.

I am now PO day 16 and I have my good moments as well as my bad moments. I still have my drains and I go to the doctor at 9:30am this morning and I am so looking forward to it. Last week, he left both drains in and took the bandag from my naval and it is still HOT looking. Drain number one is still draining out fluid and it is dark red. On Wednesday it put out 50 CC for the whole day and today it put out 30 CC. To be honest I would rather he leave that one in another week or a few more days because the amount is still great. Drain number two on the other hand has been my favorite one. For the past couple of days it has hardly put anything out. Today's total was 5 CC, so I feel confident that he will take that one out and I feel safe with him doing so. Drain one has been my trouble drain. It hurts at the site of where it is going in and no matter how I walk, I can feel it pulling in my mons pubic. I had pulled on the tube that goes into my hip area last Saturday night and I believe I pulled the stitch loose. It has been bleeding more and I also think that it may be infected.
I am still sleeping in my recliner and for some reason I have been stretching while I am sleeping and when I wake of the mornings, I begin to have some pain but it does not last long. I am due to go back to work on the 13th, but at this point that is up in the air. I still have a great deal of swelling and I would love for anyone that has any tips or tricks on getting this swelling down, I am all ears with an open purse to buy whatever I need just so that it goes down. My binder that was put on me the day of my surgery is falling apart. When I say that it is falling apart, it is literally tearing. I am posting pic and I am still swollen(I hope that that is what it is), but still happy that I still do not have the hanging butt belly. Check out the new pics and I will update everyone when I get home from the doctors office.
