19 months post-op

May 14, 2010

Been a while -- thought I'd update so I could look back on my journey later.

I'm a week post-op from an abdominal mass removal.  My panniculectomy incision had some healing issues and I ended up with a large necrotic fat/skin lump in the middle of my stomach.  It could be quite painful at times.  My wonderful surgeon documented everything and was able to get my insurance to cover excision and scar revision.   The incision is 16" (I told you it was a large lump!) and I have one drain in place. 

During the surgery, I also had an exploratory laproscopy to try to figure out what was causing some random acute pain attacks that I'd had.  Unfortunately(?), my doctor didn't see anything abnormal.

It's amazing how much easier it is to recover from surgery when you're 300 lbs lighter! :)
