Still Healing

So everything is looking good per my ps. At my Friday appt (day #8) ps had to w/d 150cc fluid from left side. Remember I don't have a drain on that side. Other than a lil sick from needle it was no big deal. I'm in need of another compression/binder because mines is causing pain/discomfort in panty area. I've tried different things with no relief so I'm going to buy a waist only one. Last night was another successful sleep. ... yes!

I'm doing really good. I despise my garment and ready to get drain out. I'm at ps office now but still draining 40cc. I'm sure it's because I only have one drain (since day 2). How r u doing

Glad you're doing so good! :) I'm doing pretty darn good, too. Not draining much at all on one side so I guess they'll take that one out. Maybe? Lol. Have a great evening!

Hi, I'm researching and consulting with Drs for tummy tuck. Dr. Gelman is on my list to consult with. Are you happy with your results? Any advice you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Few updated pics 4 days post op. Today I'm trying to sleep in bed for second time. My back has been killing me because I've been sleeping in a recliner. Not taking pain meds since 2nd day post op. I went to ps appt yesterday without binder. He wasn't happy. I put it on soon as I got home. F/u appt Friday

horrible night!

messiah4meAugust 23, 2014
I kept feeling a stitch pulling at left tube opening. It started where I only felt it when I stood up but later when I was reclined back. I called ps 5a. He told me some things to do like milking clot out of tube. After 3 calls& a mess at my house I got the clot out. This did nothing for the pain & appeared that tubing want draining fluid. so he told me I can cut
stitch and pull drain. I was able to wash self up and then the same pain hit me. I believe it's a stitch inside that is pulling when I stand up.
