Feeling Great after 5 weeks Salt Lake City, UT

Well I'm now 5 weeks post op and I am incredibly happy. I have moved from a DDD to a full C! :) For the most part it was a pretty smooth recovery. Very minimal pain past week one. Taking the drains out was easily the worst part. I had a few complications on one side which made it so I had to leave the steri-strips on longer, but I feel great and am SO SO grateful I did this. I wish I would have done it sooner. For anyone considering it, I'm here to tell you you won't regret it.

I am now 4 days post op and I felt so much better this morning. I got my drains taken out 2 days ago which hurt but after felt fabulous. I'm healing up pretty well. Looks great on one side but still a tiny bit of bleeding I have to watch on the other. Walking is easier, and showering was wonderful but I really wish I would have gotten another bra so I could wash this one. I'm still taking mild pain medicine and feel the most pain around my armpits where there was suction. I might have over done it a bit today but I think resting the next few days will fix the damage. I didn't realize how asymmetrical I was. My doctor took 360 out of my right sight (the side that's not going as well) and 960 out of the other. I was almost blown away. Anyway my next post op is Thursday so things should e getting much better by then. Still so happy with my decision. Definitely takes a load off my shoulders,,,literally. Wishing you all the best!

Well yesterday was not the most fun day. Even as exciting as this surgery is, there is pain involved. I'm not a big fan of the walking but when I'm sitting its just a little uncomfortable which is ok. 2 days post op and I definitely feel improvement everyday. I have my first post op follow up today and I should be able to get te drains out so crossing my fingers. Other than that I just can't wait to see the girls!!
