Post Op Update

All is healing well per my surgeon.

Drains and foam were removed today.  I must continue  2 more weeks of wearing the compression bra.  Have green light to shower tomorrow!  Vaseline & gauze to be applied 2 x per day on the sutured areas for the next 2 weeks..  Have another follow up on 12/3 with the PS and WL Surgeon.  Glad I'm "over the hump"!


Blessings,

Nina

Sounds like you are on track for a great recovery!  Congrats!
Taking a shower is favorite post op day.  Getting drains out is my second favorite post op day.  Good job on getting both done!

I had my plastics on Monday and took my shower on Wednesday.....man that was such a nice feeling.....yay for shower days!!!

I agree!!!  I showered today and wow!! Each time I do, I feel just that much more better.

How is your recovery coming along?

 Physically all is well. Hit a bit of an emotional bump yesterday, felt a bit discouraged thinking I didn't get the results I wanted. My good friend came over and reminded me that it's not even been a week, I'm still all swollen and bruised, etc. then she called me a "ding dong," and took me out to lunch!

Feeling better today, it's my first day back at work. I'm sure I'll be a bit tired, and I've really enjoyed the time off, sleeping in, etc. I'm a teacher so I just work for 3 more weeks, then have another 2 weeks off....yay!

How are you doing?
