Update on my plastics

Hi everyone.  Saw doctor yesterday and looks like everything is going well.  I have a section of pinkness right across the mons that he wants to watch for formation, so am back on a weeks worth of antibiotics and see him next Tuesday.  Hopefully I can go home after that.  My scar is long, low, and red, but am sure it will look much better after my first shower this morning.  I get sharp pains in the strangest places such as upper thigh when I move to get up - the spot that hurts has nothing to do with surgical site.  I am wondering if the binder is depressing nerves in a few places, or perhaps surgical tape reaction, but I don't think it's that.

i was expecting to have more pain from the muscle tightening, so I've emailed to ask if it was actually done.  I just thought it would be more painful than it is right now.  Sure do look different in pants!  Have touched a few spots, and have little feeling which is pretty weird.  A good side effect of thesis that I feel like I did a month post rny whereI have absolutely no desire to eat.  Am back to eating because I need the nourishment

Hi Megan

Glad to see you are up to posting, hope you get to go home soon!!

You are probably right about the binder that may cause pain in your upper thigh, and hopefully that will pass!!

I am sure that you look great in pants after your panni was removed and especially once the swelling goes away and of course the drains are removed!!

Glad to see your recovering going well!!

Take care

That's for formation of seroma!  My ipad is acting up when I type things.  Seems to be missing words.

Sounds like your coming along. Be great to finally go home as well.

Keep well and so happy for you! 

Sounds like you're doing well! Here's hoping you're up and about and back to yourself soon! :)

very pleased for you, heal well and don't pu****  Be nice to you!!
