I hadn't noticed it before, but just did a little push like I was doing either and it was tender. Is there any chance you have a hernia?

My PS cleaned out Belly Button no infection or hernia.. he said it was all the muscle tighening. that I am going to have to get used to.. nerves growing.. and it will be tender for  a while..

 That is the one thing that has never hurt!  My surg used my old bb just moved it...did u get a new one or did they use yor old one and move it?
If this a new pain, I would call the doc...maybe it is getting a little infected.  Do u put ant antibiotic ointment on it...I do that daily?

Belly button doesnt look infected but I did clean it with peroxide and applied anibiotic ointment just in case.. I feel a litte nausea too.. I wonder if it a hernia..oh brother.. I cant even imagine having another surgery at this point

hey Lee!!

I am feeling alot better.. came home popped a pain pill.. That belly button cleaning I got was painful. Felt like a spear was piercing my tummy..PS said its from the muscle tightening etc.. I still have lots of swelling. no biggie. I happy to be in bed resting.. sipping on my tea..

He also confirmed that I dont have to wear the binder only spanx or biker shorts.. finally I am tossing that thing..

Right boob is still high and harder than left.. he said lets wait to see if it drops in 4 weeks.

Incisions look great.. I was reading study on scar creams.. they tested plain ole vaseline and compared several other well known products like mederma.. Study said keeping it moist was key.. I have been alternating between Vit E, Aquafor (Petroleum/lanolin/etc skin protectant), and Olive Oil with Arnica Oil. I love the Olive oil mixture.. my skin seems to soak it up..

So glad it wasnt serious issue like a hernia or infection... Have a wonderful weekend..

How are you doing? How are your scabs coming along? I know you had some issues with the seromas.. Maybe massage would help?
