Three Weeks Plastics Postop
Jan 13, 2009
I saw the doctor yesterday and things are doing just fine. I did have one little snafu postop that happens pretty regularly. I had developed a small rounded area to the left of my belly button in the last couple of days and come to find out, it was what they call a seroma - blood filled sac. I originally was worried it might be a hernia that had developed postop, but he reassured me it definitely was not. To fix this problem he injected a need right into the sac and removed about 100cc of old blood. You could actually tell it was starting to break down already. It really was not painful at all and he even said it would have went away on its own eventually. Having him remove the old blood definitely felt better, both mentally and physically. It smoothed my rock hard abs out to being flat once again. He did tell me it is possible that it might fill up again, but it should subside and be just fine.Other than that, life is awesome, weight remains steady and holding at about 225 now. I have not been able to workout now for about three weeks nad it is killing me, mentally, on the inside. I really do miss the gym and what a new lease on life it has given me, in addition to to thaving the RNY surgery. The surgeon did tell me I could start working back out as I could tolerate it. My incision line looks great and it will just keep getting better with each and every passing day. I plan to jump full force into working out again come Monday of next week on the 19th of January. That will have been one full month off. I would start back today, but with the seroma having been drained yesterday, I thought it might be best to give it one more week -which the surgeon said was okay. I really do plan to buckle down when I start back working out and I hope to lose my last remaining 15 pounds of weight. No matter what happens, even if I don't lose the last 15 pounds, I will still be okay and life will be excellent.
I am tickled pink with my new body and my new lease on life.
