This has been rough between 6 days in icu to this recovery is no joke but overall once I'm back to 100% it will all be worth it still have some swelling and pain just where the remaining drain is (left is out) right is still in and bleeding around 40-70 ml a day

Overall I'm so excited went from almost 400 pounds in 4/5x shirts down to and XL and slimming I can wait to get rid of my tummy once I am approved to get into the gym no turning back now

Looking good Aaron! Glad your finally on the mend

You look great! Glad you are doing better now! Keep up the good work Aaron!!

That's great!

Thanks for sharing! You look great - bet its sore but you are going to be feeling amazing shortly

Yeah I'm still sore af I just want to go back to work n gym lol so bored at home

I hear ya on the boredom front, particularly when one has gotten used to being active. When I had a shoulder repair done last year, they at least got me into some physical therapy within a couple of weeks, but the reconstruction was just couch potato time for so long, and even once the drains are out, if there are any parts of the incisions that are slow to close (not an uncommon semi-complication) that can delay things further. Once they were all finally closed up, the doc was eager to get me back into the pool to start stretching things out again.
