I slept in my recliner for a month, it was very comfortable for me. Lucky for me it is right next to my bed so my partner was close by at all times in case I needed anything.

You could have a hematoma, I had one 2 weeks post-op, definitely call your doctors office and let them know you've had some bleeding. Mine lasted about a week and it happened every time after I showered. I had a couple days where it bled a lot, the hot water would liquify the hematoma even more so it would trigger the bleeding. It stopped on its own and I healed just fine.

I had dark red discharge seeping thru my large incision 2 weeks post op. I called my doctor 3 days later because it was still seeping turns out I have a hematoma. On the 6th day after a hot shower it started to really come out so I called the on call doctor and he said to just let it bleed and keep it covered. According to him it's the old blood from the bruising trying to get out. Today is day 7 of it and it bleed a bit more, the bruise is disappearing. Definitely call your doctor just to make its not a hematoma or an infection. Good luck!!!

Tomorrow will be one week since I had my surgery and I'm still very sore around my incisions and I'm having a little back pain. I have 4 incisions, 3 little ones and a one right above my belly button to the right a little that's about an inch wide. My strips are still on and was told that they would come off on their own. Went back to work today it was ok but I feel more sore than I had been, probably from getting in and out of my chair all day. Good luck with your recovery!!

I'm super nervous and like a couple others I have thought about not going thru with it because I'm scared. I to keep thinking what if something goes wrong what if I get sick it's nerve wrecking! But I'm 2 days away from surgery and I'm hoping my nerves go away.

My surgery is Tuesday Dec. 11th and I'm on day 13 of a high Protein low carb diet, it's been rough but worth it. I've been hungry the whole time but try to keep occupied with other things so I don't think about being hungry. Drink lots of Water that seems to help with the hunger. I'm a little nervous about the surgery but can't wait to start a new way of living. Good luck with your surgery!
