On the plus side...
On the plus side workouts have been going well. I've been able to run some, swim (before spitting stitches), use elliptical, bike etc. I'll get there:-) It's much easier than post-partum workouts!!! (I also didn't work out much my second pregnancy.)
I've started back to some weight training (lots of lower + some upper). I was even able to do 2 sets of 5 push-ups :) I could do 2 sets of 20 pre-op, but I want to build back-up slowly/conservatively. I could see a 5K in the near future :-)
Spitting Stitches :(
Provider Review
I really like how professional and friendly my doctor is. His staff is amazing (especially Nitza and the nurse Lily yesterday). He has been awesome about spending time with me and answering my questions. I was so nervous the first visit and he was very calm in dealing with me. Wait times have been on longer side compared to US, but that is always the case in Panama so it is one of those things you come to expect + get used to here. I researched Dr.Picard-Ami in-depth and I was very impressed by his credentials before going in to meet with him. It is very scary looking for a surgeon outside of your comfort zone + when you do not speak the native language of the country well. Not only was Dr.Picard-Ami impressive on paper, he truly cares about his patients, the final outcome + he is an impressive surgeon. He was so wonderful during all the pre + post op meetings so far and I would certainly recommend him to anyone I know based on my personal experience with him here in Panama. I am so thrilled with my results so far!
