I had a full tt with muscle repair, Lipo of lower flanks and fat grafting. I'm 4 days post-op and only needed vicoden the first 2 days. I was feeling really sick from the meds so my PS had me stop and switch to Tylenol. I feel much better with the Tylenol. I can get in and out of bed by myself. I still have drains. Not too much draining about 25 cc's every 6 hours. Now I'm just BORED. Good luck!

Are you watching lots of movies and reading books? I'll be honest with you, sometimes I fantasize about getting laid up for a couple weeks. :) Seriously, I'm glad you're recuperating well. Do you have before/after photos you'd feel comfortable sharing with us?
Hello - what a nice low scar line...and a great belly button also!! Congratulations - you are looking great and so quickly.
The meds are definitely hard on the tummy so if you are doing great with just the Tylenol that is awesome.
I look forward to reading more about your recovery as you go...also update pictures:)
Let me know if you have any questions.
How are you feeling? Has the recovery been painful?
I'm 14 days away and couldn't feel more anxious.
My surgeon gave me two options:
1. One on each side of the incision
2. making two very small incisions and placing them slightly above my pubic area.
I'm leaning more towards number 2.
I say go for one at each side of the incision. I have talked to others who had the pubic area and that hurt more and was more of a problem with clothes etc. Mine were at each end and were not so bad...though they do get a little irritating by day 8 or 9 if you have them that long.
My PS decided to put the drains on my side sort of under the hip area. I think that might be better so you don't end up with two little scars that look like eyes. IDK I can't say.
You will love the results. They are really beyond my expectations. Please post your progress. :)
I also excercise 4-5 times a week, drink a lot of water and take multi vitamins daily. I hope that all counts for something during my healing process.
Continue to keep us posted and I will update you on my progess when I begin my journey :)
Kimmers you are a wealth of knowledge- as always!!
It comes from having every freaky thing on the planet happen to me. I swear no matter what I am doing something nuts always happens to me. I guess I have learned no laugh things off and share my craziness with you ladies! If I can spare any of you pain or panic I certainly will.
Yes I am like a one woman walking circus:)
Did you get your breasts done as well?
Your belly looked so much like mine- that shriveled area around the belly button. Good Riddance!!
It's the swelling!!! Swell Hell....darn it. Unfortunately this lasts for a while so hang on. Are you drinking enough water? That helps a bit..
Please do not try on your clothes right now because this will only frustrate you more. The first month is not great for feeling slim but know it will get better but takes time.
Last night I ended going to the ER. I suddenly developed this numbing and tightening feeling on the left side of my face. Even my teeth felt wierd. Needless to say I freaked out! I thought I was getting bellspalsy. And I just kept thinking OMG not now not after all of this. Well they rules out stroke as well as bellspalsy. The dr said it was probably a combination of stress, anxiety and TMJ. He gave me Xanax and anti-inflammatory meds. He also assured me it had nothing to do with the surgery. I'm feeling better today and Xanax is my new friend. :)
