11 days po and bb bleed
11 days po- drain out today woohoo! But bb has bled last 2 days
So, today I saw my PS for follow-up and to check out some rashes I had to make sure there was so infection. He prescribed Topicort for them and it’s helping. So far, so good.
My belly button had dark blood come out two days in a row~ he said to wash with q-tips in the shower, dry with q-tips afterward, use neosporin, and stick some gauze in there to absorb the moisture. The close-up was to show the amount of blood- it’s a bit blurry. I just wanted to show the amount in case anyone hs that- it’s not too common. He does not think my stitches opened up there.
Also, he pulled out the one drain which was only putting out about 25 cc’s the last couple days. I didn’t even feel it.
I got the next compression garment..the multi-paneled one and holy sh*# is it more comfortable! That one panel was just not doing the job of compression anymore and it was so uncomfortable.
Now, it IS true I am more swollen at this stage than most others. As I’ve said, I’m def a sweller. So, this new cg is compressing me in all the right places and I think will help my swollen lipo’d flanks settle down.
Lastly- wow! Will you look at that beautiful, smooth, thin incision?! And he didn’t have to do the vertical incision below my bb like he thought.
All in all, I’m getting amazing care, and I am feeling better. I am still WAY tired at the end of the day and have forced myself to not do unnecessary errands, cleaning or anything. I’m in bed by 8:30 every night. I drink 96 oz of water/electrolytes per day and am taking good care of myself. Recovery is a major factor in a good surgical outcome and I want to give my body the very best chance to recover.
Also, I’ve lost ten lbs since my surgery. Things are slowly healing. I feel very grateful and in awe of this whole process and look forward to not hiding my tummy this summer and playing in the sun with my babies
