3weeks
2 weeks post surgery Dr visit
At 2 weeks the sutures around belly button were removed. These are photos of what it looked like. I find the Spanx uncomfortable and have stuck with the binder all day and off at night. Still walking a little hunched, particularly because I have a desk job and sitting in chair for extended time is doable but way more uncomfortable than walking around. Discomfort is greater in the evening, perhaps bc some fluid is still accumulating during the day. By end of 2.5 weeks pretty much off percoset, taking 1 pill end of day, or none, and about 500 mg of Tylenol.
Continue to take extra protein (protein powder drink 1x per day ). Can feel uncomfortable tightness in stomach all the time, but it's bearable and wasn't that the point?

1 week post after first Dr Visit
Nurse removed drains at visit one week later. Drainage was down to a little less that 20 cc each drain each day. Nurse was right, it didn't hurt to remove the drains. It felt worse to have stitches pulled from stomach - but that wasn't awful and it was quick. They left in belly button stitches to come out next week. Dr. Oked use of spans instead of binder and I've just put on the super high waist panty bc I feel like some fluid may be accumulating. Dr said if it does they remove it with a needle next week. He said that doesn't hurt - so far, he's been right about what does and doesn't hurt, so I'm optimistic he'll be right about that, too. Here are pictures. You can see holes where drains were. Nurse said to just keep holes covered and they'll close in a few days. Waking around a lot. Pain is good - now just using percoset at night, Tylenol during day.
Provider Review
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
1060 W Beaver Creek Blvd., Avon, Colorado
Interacted with Dr. Copit at initial consult in Spring 2015, at surgery Winter 2015 and post op. Very straight forward and honest about what procedure can achieve, pain to expect and when, and size of incision. Consultations were not long, but they did not need to be. Friendly and reassuring (as a result of his clear communication). Dr. Copit is an excellent surgeon. The pictures of his work speak for themselves. Jefferson provided excellent care.
