Today was by far one of the most painful experiences of my life. There was some scar tissue built up from the first procedure that was a bitch to deal with. Every time the doctor had to do anything in my midsection, there were a lot of F-bombs going off. I tried my very best to suffer through it, knowing that it was better to get it over with than take a break and have to revisit the same spot. There were times that I cried like a little girl. It was embarrassing, but I couldn't help it.
I know that once the pain is gone, and the area has had an opportunity to heal, I will be grateful that I went through with it. But for now, thank GOD for pain killers!
I was better this time around. I drank fluids and got up to go to the bathroom twice in an 8 hour period allowing everything to drain for 10-15 minutes. The incision is much lower on my vagina this time, causing gravity to really take effect when standing up or sitting down. What came out the first time was pretty nasty. It was obvious my body was trying to start clotting to prevent the draining. I'm not sure if it's due to the fact that the incision in my belly button is at the top this time and not the bottom, but it too has been draining.
I am a little nervous about how saggy the skin looks now under the belly button. But it has only been 8 hours so I guess I shouldn't start to panic just yet. Here are a few pictures that were just taken. Not the prettiest!

Pardon the weird shaddow. I took the pictures while standing in the shower due to the excessive draining.
