Date set for abdominoplasty .... Jan. 2nd
I know!!! It's really close!!! ****** me off actually cuz here i am sitting for almost 2 weeks when I could have been recovering!!! I have 2 years left. It's just starting to get really hard now and the clinicals will start in the summer for me then every semester after I believe. Are you feeling better? Incisions looking better?
You wont be doing any upper body exercises for at least 6 weeks. My lifting restriction carried thru over 2 months, nothing more than 7 lbs which is a gallon of milk. If you have anything heavy to get, do it now...I stocked up on milk, water, etc.... And I still am unable to lift anything heavy above my head - like a light suitcase into the over head of an airplane. Or get to upper shelves in my closets.
My incision is micro thin albeit 22 inches long, smooth, not raised at all - with the new belly button it looks like a smiley face on my tummy.
And as April said, get tons of rest those 2 weeks post op!! You'd do great, I am so excited for you!!!!
