Top Surgery Post-Op Question
Post Body

EDIT: It was just the surgical glue. I am a fool. lol

Hey y'all, I'm about 6 days post-op for keyhole. I've still got drains in. Pain is super minimal, actually I'm more itchy on the incisions and where the drains come out. Which is fine.

My main problem is pain in ribs area from the binder provided. I haven't had much issues until about yesterday, but it's starting to get painful and hard to take full breathes. It's really ramping up my anxiety because of the hard to breathe part.

My question is (I would contact my doctor if the office was open) can I loosen the binder or take it off for say an hour or so to relieve the pressure pain, or does it have to stay on non-stop until my post-op appointment on the 30th?
