Dr. appt went really well...I'm free of the annoying drain tubes!!! Also my ps took the webbing tape off my incision so I got a look at the real thing finally and I'm extremely happy. I promise to take pics tomorrow and post them. They also said that the intense sensitivity I feel on my chest is due to the nerves reconnecting. Now all I need is the swelling to go away and I'll be one hot mama :)
It was so awesome to wear my yoga stuff and look somewhat normal again..I highly recommend getting a spanx like garment as soon as you can. It helps to hold everything in evenly and gives you a great figure which helps with the depression that we all are going through during this process.
I'm so happy I did this. This is a life changer.

Today marks 2 weeks post op!! I was out all weekend shopping for back to school items. It feels great to be able to drive and stand up straight. I also bought a "spanx" waist only from walmart which fits so much better than the other thing and now I'm able to wear my regular shirts again and not feel 3x the size. My belly is so sensitive, I guess from the stretching? It hurts when touched and even if you barely touch me, it feels like you are going too rough...kinda like having a sunburn and you don't want anyone to touch you accidently. I hope it goes away soon. I bought palmers cocoa lotion to rub on it for now. Tomorrow I get the last tube out and then I will take more pics for everyone to see.

Sounds like you are doing better. Did you mention the sensation you feel when you are touched to our doctor? I thought it was supposed to be very numb & tingly. I saw my Dr. today and he told me not to put anything at all on my tummy for the first 6 wks other than the silver oxide ointment I put on the incision. I will be so glad when I get to where you are....

I mentioned it and he said its due to the nerves fixing themselves. They were ok with me putting lotion on my upper chest as long as it wasnt near the belly button or incision. I'm watching your progress! Isnt it the best thing you've ever done for yourself!!
August 26, 2011
Yes, this is the absolute best thing I have ever done for myself....talk about feeling liberated!! We are going to knock socks off! You look amazing (:

8/18/11 Post op day 9
I havent updated in a few days. I had a dr appt on Tuesday and was able to remove one of the drainage tubes. No one that ive read has mentioned the pain involved with this! I had no idea the tube was almost a foot inside me!! And when they pulled it out I felt it run from my ribs through my body and out my private area...It was very painful! The worst part is I have another appt next Tuesday to get the other one out. :( I'm thankful to have it out but wow I wasnt prepared for the pain. I'm doing great. Went back to work yesterday. It doesnt take much to wear out so I only pushed myself for a few hours. Also I'm standing up about 98% straight and was able to take a shower the other day too.
