Drains are out!
$12,900
Yay, it was so unexpected. I thought I would have the drains for a week more. But doc said it was ready to come out. Drains feel weird coming out but not painful. I didn't have to dodge my toddler today. I was so afraid she would pull out the drains but the way the drains are placed it would be difficult to pull out.
It's amazing how flat my stomach is even with some swelling below my naval. So happy to have my body back.
On to the surgery, so I had the muscles repaired as I indicated before and some lipo in the lower region near my c-section. So far I feel like I'm healing pretty well. My doc and his staff are really sweet. Good to have someone really knowledgable working on me. :-)

It's getting better!
I can't wait to get the drains out, they are annoying. Especially having a toddler, I wear layers to make sure she doesn't touch it.
I can't stand up straight yet. I hope I'll be able to stand straight soon.

Holy Mackerel! You look fantastic! What a huge difference that muscle repair made for you! Once the swelling goes down you will be one hot tamale! I know how hard it is to deal with kids and drains. I had three drains, got two out yesterday. I am layering up too to keep my son and my dogs from catching it! Don't rush standing up straight. I'm 2 weeks today and I'm just now able to stand straight, but only in the mornings. As the day goes on I find myself being pulled back forward into a slouch. Can't wait to see your progress!

Thanks a bunch. Ok good to know. My hubby was like when will you be able to stand up and I'm like being able to sit on the couch instead of laying in the bed is a huge step. Lol.
Glad you were able to get some drains out. I have two drains. I'll keep you posted.

Welcome to the flat side! Happy healing. I know the drains are a necessary evil. I'm hoping they do their job and come out soon for you. Take it slow and easy and stay on top of your meds.

Thanks, yes I gotta remember to take it easy. Id rather have the drains than some of complications I've seen some people have without them. Totally agree and I'm glad to have a flat tummy again..
