You sound like you're doing ok so far, Renee. If you were healing slowly, you would notice things like being tired alot, muscle aches, maybe excessive thirst. Other things wron with you would also take much, much longer to heal, like acne, scrapes, cuts, bruises. You would also feel generally crappy and run down. If your incision site feels good, I wouldn't worry at all. Are you not having muscle soreness in your abs at all? And definitely go see a doctor if you start running a fever for absolutely no reason. And yes, as far as the surgeons go, they pretty much just want to know if we're eating foods good for us and how we are tolerating those foods. The blood work is an essential tool for them, because it will tattle on us in a heart beat, lol. If you're having a protein deficiency, your BUN and creatinine will be low. If you're not taking your multivitamin, or just not absorbing it well, it will show also. I plan on being at the post-op meeting, as long as something doesn't come up.
