Well tomorrow I will be 3 weeks post op. Can't believe the time. My recovery is a process. The pain, emotions, sleepness night is all worth it. My sides still hurt and the incision has not closed up ????but I'm getting through day by day. Its just need time. I go to the Dr on Friday. My swelling is off the hook, but I'm happy. Can't wait to start working out again. I'm afraid to see how much weight I am. Guess I'll leave that alone. Here are a few pictures of my process

Went to the Dr at pod9 and got 1of the drains removed. So happy. Now the second one will be con on day 12. Can't wait. They pinch my skin like crazy. I'm not in that much pain, but my stomach muscles do hurt in the center. When will all this end. My swelling is crazy. My tummy is not flat at all yet. Ugh, but I keep my binder on 24/7. My scar looks crazy I hate it. Ugh. Just so nasty. When will it every heal up. Here are a few photos

I made it through 1 week. So happy. My back hurts a lot, but I'm doing fine. I still have drains in ,they both are putting out less than 25cc, praying that they come out on Friday morning. I've been walking around alot. Eating well. Drinking lots of water and power ad. I wear my binder24/7. I miss drinking coffee. I would love a ice coffee today. Should I??

You are doing great & your incision looks fantastic! I don't know what your restrictions are but I was not told I have to avoid caffeine. I normally make me a cup every morning but occasionally like to have the sugar free vanilla iced coffee at McDonalds. Best of luck with getting your drains out on Friday. I am 12 days post op and had my drains removed yesterday. Both were draining less than 20 cc's each.

Thanks. I will avoid the coffee. I believe he told me that. So much information giving while drug up. My back is killing me, but I'm getting by. Happy healthy healing to you as well
