I'm Getting There

I had a dr. appointment today. It was just a quick one. He took out my remaining seven staples...Yippy! Like I said...quick trip. Anyway, I am suppose to give him a call on Thursday and he may take out the drains!!!! I am so excited, but not too excited..I would hate to be let down. I also asked about going back to work. He said whenever I want to go I can, preferrably not this week, but next week and not full time, just part time. I can deal with that. It is better than no work and no pay! Ya! Such good news....now I just need to get my energy level back up. I am thinking that I am going to try and hit the gym in the afternoons and get some walking in and that should help me! Yippy!

Great news! I can't wait for you to share some pics after you have healed some. I wil have to live my flat tummy dream through you. ~ Terisa

Thank you so much. I can't wait until things go down and I can see the "real" results!

That is wonderful!! I didnt have staples, but those drains were a pain! Once I got rid of those, I could deal with anything. Now that I am 4 months post op from my tummy tuck, I still wrestle with the "phantom" itches...I am still numb in my tummy area but I will get an itch thats like inside of my skin and I cant get it. Yes, exercise will make you feel better, just dont overdo it, you are still healing! Good luck to you! Angela

The only place I had staples was my belly button and that wasn't that bad. He also took them out soon enough that they won't leave those nice little scars....which..doesn't really matter...not like I will be wearing anything showing my belly with these scars. I hate the itches...nothing helps! I am right there with you. Don't worry about me over doing it. I really want to get back into the swing of things so I would rather take it easy now than have to pay for it later and be out longer! Thanks again!

Hi, Maghan... I've been following your posts and am soooo happy that everything is going well. Hope that the Dr takes out the drains! Keep us posted! Ro
