Stitches are out....

Oh, the airports...ugh. They really could have been worse. We asked for wheelchairs...got one in Mexico City (yay!), but they skipped me in Guadalajara (not yay!). It was a loooonnnggg day...ended up being about 12 hours. But we're home, safe and sound with the punkins.

Are you, or did you, have a lot of seeping or drainage from the area? I am seeping more now than I did a week ago. Though, my incisions are still pretty tightly closed. It is still so irritating!

Anyway, I'm glad you're mostly doing well...and I truly hope we have an opportunity to meet again.

My seams under my breast have been ok except for this lil spot.  I put on a special bandage that is supposed to seal it and help it heal with less scar but instead it seems to have made it worse.  So I am back to the gauze and tape until it dries up.  All my other seams have closed up completely.  now I have to search for silicone strips.  Dr. S. recommended them so I guess I'll try em. 

Perhaps I'll try to be patient for another week...hope the seeping dries up a bit. I don't have much, if any, irritation...except to my emotional status. lol
I've heard good things about the silicone strips, though. So, I guess it can't hurt to give them a try...see if they can work some magic on the girls. :o)

Chris, Faby gave me a wonderful tip is working for me on my breast! I have a spot that just wont heal and I was still using guaze. She told me to get the non-stick bandaid or bandage (it will say breathable and flexible). I cut the sticky portion of the bandaid off (boobies got irritated with that part) and use the medical tape to adhere it over the wound. It is now healing. I think the guaze sticks to the wound and pulls off the start of healing scabs. The nonstick bandaids let the wound heal and allow to scab over. I have to say it is working for me but not completely healed yet. I have spitting stitches in the area so  I hope they stop being angry.

Tammy, I am taped with non stick gauze but the problem is that the part that is not healing is right where the two sausage garments meet so even though it is non stick, the garments still attach it to me.  I am also spitting a few stitched there and one at the base of my nipple where it also is not healing.  It is soooooooooooo itchy from all the tape and bandages etc.  I think I am going to try and just lay down and not wear the bra garment today and have the body one pulled away so the skin is exposed.  Hopefully it will dry out. 

Wow..I don't think I'll have the guts to pull the drain out myself.  Haha I'm just kidding about coming back for surgery....I think this is it for me too.  I really did feel like a fool with the whole testimonial and I really want him to have a good one.  I will probably have my husband record one after I practice for a bit and I will send it to Dr Sauceda.  Heck, I'll be happy to own a one piece where I can show my new thighs....woo hoo!!

lol  I am curious to see how the new girls fit into my speedo  lol  hmmmmm  I wonder what it is going to feel like swimming again.  Lots of new "drag"  lol. 

the drain really wasn't a problem but them I am still sorta numb.  I will admit, I'm a lil worried about this spot under each breast though.  it has been irritated where the sausage garments meet.
