Hi dear, waiting on his response right now !! Hopefully just steri-strips and a dry dressing and my husband can do that for me ..still hurts, ouch . My surgery was Aug 18

Oh no! That looks so painful! Hopefully they can fix you back up quickly.

Oh gracious. Didn’t they tell you not to lift anything over 10lbs for the first week or two, then increase to 20lbs for the next week or two after that.

Hope you didn’t do any internal damage to those stitches & staples holding your tummy together as well.

I knew the ins and outs of the procedure as I have done it before. I just thought I was Superwoman and could handle a backpack instead of a suitcase , wow was I wrong.. they called me back last night and said to keep gauze on it do not manipulate the area and wear a compression garment on it like a binder. Heating pad and tylenol.So far,so good today. ???

Very glad to hear that you’re feeling better. Please hang up the cape (smile) for a couple of weeks. Send all calls and emergencies to the red phone.
