1 week post op appointment
WORTH IT$5,400
Due to it being a holiday weekend, I did not get into the Dr for my 1 week post op until today at 9 days post op. It felt so good to get my stitches out. Dr. Wortham likes the progress I am making and we are both happy with my skin retraction at this point. He said the first three weeks are the most important and to do these three things: 1. kneed the skin gently where there are those hard lumps and bumps but do not rub the skin horizontally back and forth because the skin is reattaching and this will hamper my progress and right now skin retraction is my priority. 2. Lay down when putting on my compression garment and LIFT any lose skin Upwards before the garment gets closed. 3. Keep some tissue in the belly button opening to keep it from closing in on itself as the skin has to go somewhere. Remember my waist was 40 inches before this procedure and ideally I would have gotten a tummy tuck but chose not to because I plan on having one more baby in a couple years. I am very happy with my results so far they are exceeding my expectations. I asked for a small refill of pain meds (hydrocodone) because I am still having significant pain after sitting for long periods of time and I have a burning sensation in my flanks that is very annoying and painful. Not out of this world unbearable pain by any means but its nice to know that I have a pain pill for backup after a long day if needed! Very nice! :)

So one week and half a day has gone by and I feel that day 3 and day 8 are the two days that I felt a breakthrough of sorts. I am swollen and have pockets of hard fluid especially on my left flank (note the photo) I will start massages after I get my stitches out tomorrow. Updated measurements
