WORTH IT$6,200
Sat and Sun I was in alot of pain sitting up and going to the bathroom was the worst part.
Today Monday I have to say the pain is a lot less. The drains are very uncomfortable and sleeping is not easy. The pain meds make me very drowsy. It is hard when you have to sleep sitting up with lots of pillows behind your back and under your knees.

Less pain than yesterday, did not take any pain...
Less pain than yesterday, did not take any pain tablets because I just hate how it makes me feel and today the pain isnt that bad, still taking my antibiotics and the ones for the swelling/brusing. My butt hurts from sitting. I can't stand for too long my back hurts like crazy. Coughing hurts too I am taking delysum which helps alot. Thank God I am staying with my aunt and she is a great help.

Hang in there. On my 5th day my doctor want me to still sleep in a semi reclining position but wanted me to walk straighter. I know how you feel about the the standing. I still have my drains in because of the massive amount that was taken and plus probably all the unneeded moving around that I am doing. It will get better...

I am doing good. I'm not able to stand up straight yet.....it's scary and the feeling of the skin pulling when I stand.....boy my back is killing me because of bending foward when I stand. Thank goodness I don't have much pain and dont have to take the pain tablets (oxycod generic of percocet). If I have to I will take advil liquid gel. This site has been a true blessing to me.

Oh, it will get better and you will be so happy! Right now I know how you feel, I was same way. Can't laugh, can't cough, can't stand up straight! All that is normal! In a few days when you see the new "tummy" You'll say, YES, IT WAS WORTH IT!!! Just follow your Dr's orders and you will be fine!! I'm just over 3 weeks and all you're describing is gone!!
