2/10 is the day!

You are going to have an hourglass figure! Rest up.

Looking good! The drains make me queasy just looking at them! Do they bother you?

I had thought before that I wouldn’t be able to do them, they seemed gross!! My husband helped the first time and it wasn’t bad, I’ve done the rest by myself. I think of it a red water, makes a little easier.

 

[LizJ]

The recliner is amazing! We were going to get rid of it as we are remodeling but kept for my surgeries! I’m so glad we did!!

On another note. The hospital gave me a second binder to go home with but want me to use Ace bandages, which I can’t do myself! Lucky hubby played sports and is great at wrapping!

Does anyone know a sleeve compression garment that I can get? I ordered one off Amazon but I’d rather get a referral from someone who’s done this.

Thanks!!

sorry, I don't have any suggestions but I wanted to say how great you look and congratulate you.

please take it easy while you are healing!

 

[LizJ]

You are going to have an hourglass figure! Rest up.

I can’t wait for the swelling to go down!

Oh! I’m wearing my husband boxer briefs that are stretchy and hold the drains in great!

 

[LizJ]

Friday been a good day! Slept well last night then stayed in all day due to weather! Laundry, cabinet clean out, and some meal prep done today.

 

[JackieOnLine]

I'm glad things are going so well for you.

 

[LizJ]

Wanted to return to work today but I can’t get a release until my drains are out... feeling great and everything looks good! Going to see my bariatric surgeon Wednesday morning and my plastics that afternoon to have my drains removed.

 

[LizJ]

Drains are such a pain! They itch and hurt like hell if you catch anything on them. Tomorrow can’t come soon enough!

 

[JackieOnLine]

I hope you get them out ASAP.

 

[LizJ]

I hope you get them out ASAP.

Tomorrow 3pm!!

 

[LizJ]

Counting down the hours till the my drains are out!

 

[LizJ]

And they didn’t come out... I’m going to cry.

 

[Susan in Tennessee]

No, don’t cry, but please take it easy and do as they say! How much longer? Is your recovery progressing well?

The drains are still producing if you over do it. You may be rushing things. Get some hand work to do.
