Stitches out- tape still on...
12 days out from Anchor cut TT. Second post-op visit completed. Got in just infront of some baaaad weather that is coming in- Whew. Had the sutures removed, but the tape was replaced. I'm supposed to leave it on till next week, then take it off myself. I'll see him in one month. Bottom line is this- He said he removed about 12 lbs of skin and a little fat. I'm down 3 lbs from pre-surgery and he expects more to drop off as swelling goes down. I'm feeling great! Get to return to work (teaching, so no great physical effort) Monday if I want and just "heal". Upper and lower tummy flat- 4 inches smaller in the waist and more supposedly to loose. This binder thing is my true frienamy- in it 24/7 for another week, then just when I am up and around for another 3 weeks after. All continues well in my world- hoping for continued non-issues with this. All smiles, Bonnie
