WORTH IT$8,000
I really want this drain out! The stitch holding it in is reallyneasily irritated. Its been less than 150 out uptill today, it'll be more like 70... first follow up is 5 days away, hoping to hell it will be down below 30 for a couple of days.

My belly button is still yucky, weeping clear and or red fluid, with a thin layer of purple skin in the naval that seems to want to peel lff, but wont. Ive been reading that bbs are tempermental, im hoping this sloughs off and turns out good.

Im so tender and swollen, it s very uncomfortable though not really painful. As far as compression garment, i have a boy short by sweet nothings from walmart, and ists much more comfortable to wear to bed than the binder.

And oh, i went to the grocery store the other day and used the scooter, so much easier than walking around. I live in a small town but my tt isnt really a secret, so that wasnt an issue.

Happy healing ladies

Your pre-belly looks just like mine!!! Check out my pics. I hope my new belly is as flat as yours looks. Do you have more "after" pics? God bless and I pray you are having a wonderful recovery.

Im really feeling pretty good. Most of my soreness seems to be from having to limit movement. Tried my panty girdle instead of my binder today, and can see why its not reccomended. You have to reef on it to pull it up.
Ive had some stinging and pulling sensations along the incision, maybe the steri strips? And ive not had a ton of drainage either. I only have one and im getting about 50cc 3 times a day. Im getting my appetite back which means the dreaded constipation should arrive soon.
My belly button looks icky, with a brown crust. Hope that goes away soon.
