Mother of 3 Twin Tummy - Louisville, KY

Day 4
All good everyday the abdominal wall is getting less tight to stand up straight. Nothing major to note.

Day 5
Visited nurse hardly any drainage and received binder and removed some padding. That completely changed my posture and I can stand up straight. Still hadn't moved bowels so tried milk of magnesia. So

I'm still very positive and feeling better everyday. Doc apt today to pull off fluid which is normal when having a drainless procedure. I did get very faint again as it was a lot of fluid but nurses let me sit down. Only downside today was nausea from meds. I had to get zofran to help and now I'm doing good. I've also spread pain meds to just 3 times a day. Only downside is super stiff and overly tight in the stomach when standing. I can manage

2nd day out pretty encouraged. My natural draining had stopped and I'm able to get around better. To the touch, my stomach has no feeling, so wondering if and when I do will I be in more pain! The garment I am wearing is comfortable so I don't mind that at all. It's easier to get on and off vs spankx. Sleep has been decent as well. I was so worried I just wouldn't be able to get comfortable and I have been ok. I had a much longer look at my stomach today and I again am very happy. I go back to the doc tomorrow for some more drainage to be pulled off per the nurse. I don't see anything bulging but I've noticed a little puffiness in the stomach which felt like fluid could be underneath. I have a little bruising but expected as I continuing healing. I'll post pictures Tuesday or wed when I can shower and take garment off
