Week Eight: Post OP
Hello Friends and Family! Well, it's been a while since I've updated on my progress but I wanted to give my body some time to heal and show some nice progress. So far it's been eight weeks as of today since I went under the knife and got my extra skin removed after losing 250lbs of my body weight. The weight loss alone has been an insane boost to my confidence, state of mind, and health. The skin removal has just been the best buttercream frosting on that cake. The thing I'm sure many of you want to know about first, the pain is so much better this far out. So much of the internal and stretching stress pain that I had for a while has gone or greatly faded. For the most part, the only pain I'm finding comes from the scars themselves and a handful of sutures that are starting to poke through or just under my skin on my belt line. The nipples are a zone of pain still, which is odd as they are 100% dead to any sensation when touched. Nice part about this far out tho...
