How are you feeling?? My incisions just burn but I am up and walking and doing too much at this point.Drives me nuts to just sit here.I go back on the 6th for my stiches to be removed.I am hoping my drains can come out before then.Hope you are doing well....~Amy~ |
Me TOO !!!
I have been up all week and I am really feeling it today - my lower back is killing me! I had the same problem after the band surgery and ended up having to take an anti-inflamatory to get it under control. Other than my back - I have ZERO pain. I haven't taken a single pain pill and Dr. Heller removed my pain pump last Friday - ??? I don't know if it is because my stomach is so numb or because I can't think about anything except how bad my back is hurting!
I went back on Tuesday and he removed the first drain and I am hoping that he will remove the second one tomorrow . . . I have been surprised at how 'well' I have coped with the drains - I really thought I'd be freaking out about them, but all in all - they haven't been that bad.
I am glad you mentioned the stiches - I have a few in random places and the pokey edges are driving me crazy. I need to remember to ask about them tomorrow, and I think my belly-button is coming 'un-raveled' . . .
I will PM you Amy and give you my cell number - maybe if you have time, you can call me when you come to see Dr. Adam and we can meet for lunch or something. I am in League City.
