I made it!

Had my LBL on Fri, Dec 10th--he removed 5.5 lbs of skin and overall, I'm doing pretty good! I came home the same day but went back Sat to have the catheter pulled--then to his office today and had 1 of the 4 drains pulled. He and the staff were amazed how well I'm moving and honestly, the worst part of this is my tailbone--it's killing me!

Thanks to everyone who helped me get thru all this!

Be happy.

Glad to see you're doing well. Hopefully you'll get those other drains pulled soon.

You'll see in someone else's recent post about tailbone pain I suggested using a donut pillow or arranging your pillows to leave a small gap for your tailbone. Also massage and just wiggling your body every once and a while to redistribute the weight helps a little bit.

WOW you are doing good. I had my LBL the day before you and am doing well also.  I am one with the tailbone problem also, tried the pillow with the cut out may have to try the donut one. Keep up the good work.  looking forward to the 4 drains coming out..
