[wfd6912]

Thx Russ. Believe it or not. the pain today seems a lot less then yesterday lol. I know it's going to take some time before it's. How long were you layed up and how long were you out of work if so. Thx again

@wfd6912 I took off 6 weeks from work in the summertime, stayed at a campground and enjoyed the relaxation, then I went back to work. Im glad youre feeling better

[wfd6912]

Hey. I just had this done going on 3 days now. My surgeon didnt tell me shit. But from the time i was in recovery till today. Im hurting. They gave me percocets also but doesnt seem to help. started to take 2 at a time and that seems to help. Yours looks a hell of a lot cleaner than mine. It hurts all the time but more so while and right after im sitting.

@wfd6912 I'm sorry your having trouble, I hope your surgery is okay. You should call your doctor and see what he says - Russ

I'm one weeks out from my umbilical surgery and mine doesn't look right . It's too folded up , and very stiff around the area, like a rock underneath my skin.  I'm going back to the Dr. to complain in a few weeks. Did yours change any or stay the same? Please let me know. Thanks. Glenn

@ninaco11 , I had mine done about a wk ago and it, too, looked deformed and much folded. When I first removed the bandage after 4 days(Dr.'s instruction), my innie looked too wide after removing the cotton swab. Here it is 3 days after the removal and now it seems to have closed up some. My dr. said that is normal because of continue swelling and sometimes it takes up to 6 mos before the belly button gets it natural shape back. I'm due to see him in 5 days, so I'll know a lot more then.

freakysideshow, did you have mesh included with your procedure? I'm scheduled for surgery Wednesday and I was little concerned about the use of mesh. It's more because of a lot of negative comments about pain years later from the mesh.

@MrLevergun Hang in there, ask for percosets (oxycodone) You'll make it, and you did the right thing

My incision look like yours and and it is healing quick.

It;s been 3 weeks after my surgery and sometimes i feel fatigue, weak, and somedays i feel better.

how long did it take you to a fully recovery? I mean not feeling weak or fatigue.

this friday is going to be 4 weeks, after my surgery.. but these last two days i been feeling weak, ...

I hope this helps others youtube viewers

[freakysideshow]

@jesus323 I never really felt weak or fatigued might check with your doctor for internal infection or something, I only took pain pills for 3-4 days, but never really felt fatigued, hope you are ok.

[jesus323]

thak you for your advice. :)

I had my surgery and they say everything went fine.

Did you start walking or could sit the first day? For how long?

The told me to remove my bandage dressing in the 5th day.

But you did after 5 hours? Did you put it back?

how do you clean the umbilical surgery? Alchool?

Did you

[freakysideshow]

@jesus323 They used glue on me, and it took about 20 days to fall off. It finally came off in the pool, I was wheeled out of outpatient surgery the day of and I was able to stand up and transfer to the car, no pain on the ride home, took a percoset when I got home an hour later, doctor said it was good to walk, but no lifting, I was walking around the house from day one, slowly, with pain med in me. I stayed out of the shower for several days, I forget how long exactly.

[jesus323]

Im haviing tis surgery this friday.

Did you have general anhestesia? How long last the operation?

Thanks..

[freakysideshow]

@jesus323 yes you will be put out, the operation lasted about an hour, and I was comfortable when I woke up. I elected to go home with percosets vs vicoden, even though there are no refills, I only used 15 out of the 40 they gave me in the script, just take it easy for a few weeks dont work, or lift, and you'll be like new, also took a xanax the night before to reduce anxiety, worked great, watched tv the night before, didnt worry at all!
