I'm not happy with my right side seam. It puckers and sticks out. I hope it will look better with time.

It is my understanding that puckering and even a possible dog ear is very common and most Dr's will take care of that at a later date after you are healed. You should discuss it with your doc at your next appt. Hope you are feeling better.

11 days out.

I got a chair for the shower. That was so nice to take a shower yesterday (for more than 35 seconds). My inner thighs are still just back and purple and red in some areas - hot to the touch. I went in to the Dr the other day. Both drains stayed in because they are still collecting fluids. My drain holes are so painful. I dread the pain that comes from them being removed, but it will be nice to not have the drains always around. My girdle is so uncomfortable. It comes clear up under my breasts and it's so tight, I can't breathe! I haven't been able to really inspect the incision. Pain is still intense. Out of pain meds, so taking Ibuprofen 800mg and Tylenol it is. I get hot flashes, then minutes later have chilly feet. I keep having an awful pain that feels like my incision is ripping open on my right hip. It's agonizing.

Hoping for the pain to get better this week!

Bruised and battered! The swelling hasn't gone down yet, and I'm so sore and tender everywhere that it's really difficult to manage my pain and get comfortable.

I had a large hanging pannus that was always in the way. It's nice to have that gone. It was nice finally having a bowel movement today. Twice. Hey - I was very nervous about that. Dr Peterson had me come in to check my drains and incisions.
