Wow, I finally feel great. Still a bit of numbness all around the incision areas, which is normal. No swelling that I can tell. Have been back to rl for a month and all is well. I also had my final pics for the before/after pic. I am so happy. There are other areas of my body that need attention, but this was definitely a must. I can live with the rest. So thankful all went so well!

Wow, what a difference. I can do so much more now. Pain pump and 2 drains removed after week 1. I still have 2 drains. Swelling is still present but less. Lots of numbness. Still sleeping in recliner but sleeping all night now. Walks around the block daily. The only pain I have is near the drain insertions. Daily dressing changes and recording drains output 2 times a day. Next appt in 3 days

Holy cow, it does hurt, but I still say it’s worth it! Sleeping in a recliner is a must. Loose comfy clothes, and husband/friends are the best

How soon after surgery did you go home? How long did they recommend you wait before returning to work?
