Didn't make the zipper club, but these are robotic scars at 2 weeks post op

Interestingly, yours are a bit different than mine. You look like you're healing well. Good luck for continued easy recovery.

You are in a less invasive club! Continued success on your recovery. As an upcoming member of the zipper club who has also had robotic surgery, I can say I wish I was in your club but I am grateful all the same

Very nice! I had minimal .... but a 5 or 6 inch scare under my right boob. Not a big deal. Surgery was 9 months ago.

I was walking at the mall 5 days after surgery for 45 minutes to an hour. Husband took 2 weeks off from work to be with me. I was only in hospital for 3 days ..... BTW, I'm 53.

Thanks, but it is the meds, can't stress enough to stay on top of the medications!

That's what they want you to do. Pain slows down recovery, so don't be a martyr. I hope you keep progressing without complication.
