Today I had my first post-op visit to the CRS. It will be 3 weeks this Thursday since the surgery. In the past few days, the area where the skin tag was removed has been more irritated and annoying and I could feel a little bump there. So that was what I was most interested in asking him about. He took a look and got something out and "snipped" a stitch there that in his words "had outlived it's usefulness and may have been the cause of some of that irritated feeling". On the whole ride home it has already felt better!
He also wants me to continue to use the Nifedipine until I have gone one month without any pain. And to be very cautious with not having a hard bowel movement. Otherwise, he thought things looked really good and on a good path to healing. He would be very surprised if I don't go on to heal and he said the skin tag was not resurfacing.
So that was all great news. He wants me to taper off the number of baths , and to start building up my activity level. I get to back off the Nifedipine from 3 times a day to just 2 as well. Now if my body will cooperate and drop my midafternoon poop and just go with two, my life would feel much more normal! Halleluljea for some good news!
