I'm feeling better and moving around more, but still frustrated with being unable to do certain things and relying on others. The swelling has gone down but not as much as I'd hoped. The garment was agitating my skin and it was red and looked like a rash. I started putting lotion on, nowhere near my incision or belly button, and that's helped.

I'm feeling very tired and swollen today, and I can tell I'm doing too much. My incision is hurting. My stomach is very swollen and I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's healed. The belly button looks strange still.

Those first few days are tough. I did nothing for a week per my ps instructions. Only up for bathroom and I could do a lap around my house and get a drink but that was it! Rest rest rest! Let your body heal. I actually slept sooo much those first 5 days. My body needed it. I watched a ton of movies. You shouldn't be doing anything at 3 days post op girlfriend!! Recovery is a long process. I am 4 weeks po today and the swelling is real and I still take naps.:) My body is needing it. I think that is what has made my recovery pretty smooth. Take it easy on yourself. Patience is the hardest thing with the tt. I hear it takes up to a year to see results. Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks. I'm moving around better now but still sore, 12 days PO. My swelling is still unbelievable. I can't wait to get a break from the compression garment - my PS said 4 weeks night and day, then I can move to just nights.

I am 5 weeks po tomorrow and the swelling is real. I started exercising the last few days and am blown up like a puffer fish. It is kind of a mind game swelling so much but I guess I knew that was part of the package! Yes it is so nice to be able to choose when to wear it! Glad you are feeling better! The 3 week mark was a turn around for me! Then a little set back once you are exercising and doing more. Glad you are feeling better!
