Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Hi...I am two weeks post op from surgery, and doing well concerning that. I am still really tired, however the incisions are healing nicely, and both drains are out now. I am still on antibiotics. I went off my Humira and Mtx per rheumy's instructions 2 weeks pre-op, so I have been off them now for a month. Unfortunately, my hands are flaring...some swelling, redness, as well as my left wrist and left ribcage. I cannot go back on my RA meds until the threat of infection is gone from my surgery, so still may be a little while. All in all, I have done very well with this surgery, and the physical results of having the hernia repair and the redundant skin removed are really good. I still feel stiff in my abdomen, and the swelling will be with me for quite awhile yet, though I can definitely see and feel a positive difference. Love & hugs to all....
