33 Years Old, 2 Kids - McLean, VA

I am schedule to have my surgery this coming Friday and I am very close of backing up, I feel very nervous about it, especially because I have 2 little ones to take care of while I'm recovering. I'm not happy with my tummy, my pregnancies didn't Do me any favor. My doctor say I will have no drains so I'm thinking that will make it easier maybe?

Lots of anxiety.

It hurts a lot specially my back and every time I try to get up I feel like the stitches are coming apart. Everything It hurts a lot in general, how much longer does all this discomfort and pain last. I'm starting my massages on Monday.

Regretting it but I guess is part of the healing, I can't eat I can't sleep
I haven't been able to go to the bathroom since Thursday and I feel nauseas all the time.

Week 4 post op, everything was good, I was starting to feel a lot better on my 4th week and all of the sudden i started feeling a painful discomfort in he middle of my incision and on one end, it turned red and hot, today I saw my PS and what happened was that a few sutures that my body didn't absorbed were trying to find their way out, he did a quick procedure done at the office with a some local numb medication and now I have 4 staples again, bummer but I'm hoping for the best and praying for non more sutures to come out. My surgeons is great I'm very happy with my resultado far, I have good days and some not so good days, specially with the swollen but it is part of the recovery.

5 weeks PO, feeling a little better everyday, I still get his pinching feeling constantly but everyday a fit a bit better, going back to the gym next week hoping that will help my recovery.
