Cant Wait to Get my Confidence Back!!finally Going to Happen! - Canada

hi..was wondering about the may tummy tuckers of 2012....just wondering how you girls are all making out...hope all is going well..

Well im 5 weeks post op today..nt feeling so great about my results.im fine when im standing but when leaning over i have loose skin..somtimes worse then others..and even when im sitting i have a small bulge over my insicion.but when im standing im so tight that on times i still cant stand real strait unless i have my binder on me...and thats another storey..i was aloud to remove my binder at 4 weeks but still hurts when i remove it and my belly still feels all num.(does anyone else feel this way??) i think i have more swelling now then before..my babs says the bit of sagy skin will go away when i can exercise again..i hope so but i cant see it..ill just have to keep standing i guess...lol

Well im glad to here everyone is doing so well!!! I havent been on here latly due to the fact i was in the hospital for the las t week....yup its been quit the week ladies let me tell you..it all started the day that i got one of my jp out...had a nap about 130 thant day, and woke around 3..when i did i started having pain in my chest and left arm, i figured it was gas..you no how you can get that bad gas pined up after surgery..so i took everything i had here for gas..seemed to ease up for about a half an hour, then it started all over again..as the day progressed it got worse, tryed to lie back in the chair and could not get comphie due to the pain.so got up walked around a bit and nope, nothing seemed to help. any ho....by the time 8:30 rolled around it started going out to my back on the left side...so i called my hubbie.(he was next door helping my father)..and told him the pain was getting worse and i wasent felling to well could he come over..so when he came over he rubbed my back, then took more eno hoping it would ease up..not a chance..by 10 o clock my 11 year old son started saying if shes in that much pain she needs to go to the hospital..(god love him hes not used to seeing me in that much pain) by this time i couldnt move fromthe pain and could hardly get my breath enough to talk or breath..my hubbie made me take two aspirn..and then he started in on me about going to the hospital..( im very stubbern when it comes to myself, and thats the last place i wanted to go..i just kept saying its gas it will pass..) anyway by 11 he had my mom called to come look after the kids and he was making me go no if ands or butts..so by 11:30 him and my brother were bringing me to the truck..dear jesus that wasent an easy task let me tell you... so long story short, got there they sent me in right away..doc came in and asked were i was having the pain, and before i new it they had people called in and was given a shot of demeral in my butt and sent to get a cct..injected the die in me..and sure enough had a dam blood cloth in my lung..(oh joy) so then i was hooked up to all these machines given another shot in my butt,(bllod thinner) another few pills and then sent to icu were i stayed for 4 nights ..(dear jesus i never experienced so much pain before, and i had three kids.) so then by monday things were settling down enough to put me down on a ward..then spent to days there..and after alot of morphine, gravol, and pills and a holly but..(from all the injections of blood thinners) i was on my way home having to stay on a pill called warferen or somthing like that..for 6 months, and have to have blood work done every 3 days until my blood levels,level out..so yes its been an exciting week..(they tell me im lucky to be here so dont take it for granted and make sure i keep up on my pills and blood work or it will not disolve and will get bigger again.)..so ladies dont think it could never happen to you and watch for any signs of a blood cloth and dont be stubbern like me and go to the hospital right away.. (they think if i didnt take those to aspirn that it might not have thinned out enough to pass threw my main part of my lung and i would have had a massave heart attack..) so thanks to the hubbie for that..( i new there was a reason i was getting married to him..lol)..happy healing to all..
