Your incisions are looking very good.

I too have been taking benadryl with the narcotics and making sure I have a little bite to eat as well.

Awesome!!

How long was your surgery? You got a lot done. My surgeon was only able to do an lbl/bl for me in 8 hours (8 hours is the max he will do).

The surgery went from 1pm until 1am. 12 hours. The first 3 1/2 they were working on removing the bladder sling which apparently went poorly. There was a mess of scar tissue so it took much longer than expected. The plastic surgeon used a team of three additional Residents so all four surgeons did the plastics. Overwise he said it would have been 18 hours just for plastic work. I was so grateful they all stayed up late and finished everything!
