Post Op Day 20 - seroma, scar lotion prescription
Can believe it's been 3 weeks. I went back 2 days ago for more seroma draining -- but it's nothing -- I don't even feel it, and really didn't notice it -- and much smaller than last week. I'm waiting for my scar lotion. It's a prescription. Can't wait to get started on that. Other than that, nothing much to report. I still feel great. I only get a little bit of stiffness if I sleep in a fetal position, or if I sit for a few hours at my desk. Also if I lean backwards really far, I feel pulling at the bottom of my belly. Still wearing my CG. Something I don't see people talk much about is how LIGHT they feel afterwards. I have lost about 6 or 7 pounds -- I'm about 122 -- but I think the big difference is that I don't have a WAD of FLESH pulling down in the front anymore -- and I feel so light on my feet. I can pop up and down from a sitting position like a jack-in-the-box. I can tie my boot, standing on one leg -- I feel so BALANCED and supple. It gives me energy. I'm able to cough and laugh and sneeze with MINIMAL pinching in the very middle of my lower belly.
Post Op Day 16 - seroma, scar stuff
I went to see Dr. Karlinsky and the little swelling was in fact a seroma. She stuck a needle in my belly, which I didn't feel since I barely have any feeling back yet -- and out it came -- looking just like the fluid that was in my drain. We then talked about the scar -- she's giving me a prescription for something. I think it's fairly new -- I'll post it when I get it. Still feeling great. Have no desire to remove my CG. I feel safe and secure with it. Sleeping has been great. I think I've been able to sleep on my side for about a week now -- but resist doing so. Somehow I feel that it might be better to lay flat on my back, making sure to keep my belly and stretched out.
Post Op Day 16 - swelling maybe? Part 2
Have more pictures to add to top. I'm a bit concerned about above belly button swelling. Seeing doctor later.
