Just saw your pics & that doesnt look bad. I'm sure it will heal up its just in a spot that prolly gets rubbed against clothes,moved & bumped around a lot so it'll take a while. I'm still blowdrying & packing my belly button everyday so I understand being anxous for it to heal

Well I lost suction to my drain last night so I had to go in today to have it removed. They also removed some stitches that may be causing my wound to stay open. I still have my appointment for tomorrow incase i get any fluid pockets. How will I know what these fluid pockets are? I have tightness as it is right now and they said I will feel bloated. I feel I look bloated from the swelling. I'm just a little uneasy with the drain being out and draining 45-50cc's for the last 11 days.

I will be 4 weeks post op on 1/5/2012 and still draining anywhere from 45-50cc a day. I talked to my doctor and the drain is coming out on Friday. I have noticed that my drain tube stitch has broke and the tube has come out about 4 inches. I can now see the white tube that was inside the body. The nurses want me to take it easy and hopefully the drainage will decrease a little before Friday but I am not getting my hopes up. I feel great otherwise and that is probably my problems as I am doing too much.
