Wow good job. Did you feel like you could move better when the staples were out? Are your abs still tender? I didn't realize how much I used my abs until surgery.

That is encouraging. I am 2 days out and wondering if I did the right thing. I keep telling myself I did but because of the pain and now hunger I wonder.

I could've written that same thing. In the first couple of days, I was in a lot of pain and had so much nausea. I really questioned myself on whether or not I did the right thing. Day #9 was the turning point where I felt like myself enough to get out of the house and be with other people. I'm still only 2 weeks out, but I do feel better. I'm hungry though! I've been on liquids for just shy of 4 weeks now (including pre-op diet). I'm ready to move on to mushies/purees. I'm hoping to get that "ok" today when my staples come out!

I appreciate that I hope that things get better and that I will feel like I did the right thing.

I didn't have staples but I do still have a little soreness. Same here we use them for everything turning over getting up everything

I didn't have an open procedure. My surgeon chose to close the 4 incisions with staples. When they came out today, I was told that my incisions look fantastic. They weren't crusty or weepy, which I guess happens a lot from what I was told.

I didn't had an open procedure but have 5 small incisions but did have staples. Incisions look good just really sore.
