WORTH IT$7,100
Day 5! Dressings came off today and saw my new bod for the first time. I have to be honest, I was surprised that there is still some loose skin on my lower belly and a lot more stretch marks left than I had hoped. Also, my new belly button is absolutely TINY! At first I thought they forgot to give me one! My hubby said not to worry but my teen said it is really bad (too small). I dont know what to do, please tell me what you think ladies. At this point all I know is that when I look at my before pics and then see my new tummy Im in awe at the amazing difference and Im happy. I know Im only 5 days post op and things will continue to change and get better so Im not letting my high expectations get in the way of the healing process, but the loose skin down low was a bit of a surprise, is this normal? I thought I would be tighter all the way down. You cant tell in my pics, but its there

Ok, its day 4 post-op and I finally feel like a human again. Sponge bath, hair washed, lotion and deoderant and Im a new person! Only taking tylenol and valium to help me sleep. My back and bum hurt worse than anything although my tummy burns a bit all over. I have not walked much except to the potty and its still quite painful to get up, prob because Im not on narcs. They just make me so sick. I see my new tummy tommorrow and the wrapping Ive been in since wed. is soaked with dried blood. Its so gross and I cant imagine how its going to hurt coming off. Breathing is hard.Cant take a good deep breath in most positions. This is not easy by any means, but Im so happy it is over with. Any one having 2nd thoughts, dont. Just go for it!

Looking good so far!! Can't wait to see your tummy pics. You already look a lot flatter! So exciting, isn't it?! I'm very happy for you!
Glad you're feeling good, Lynn!
You look great already I wish you a speedy painless recovery mines is the 18th of this month ......
Im sure you are counting down the days! Just remember when you get to the hospital, it all goes by sooo fast, even the first 4 days or so are like a blur. Before you know it you are going to to be up and about and looking (and feeling)amazing!
I hope so I can't wait to say it's finally over....
Beleieve me, you will be fine. I had a rare and really bad reaction to the anaesthesia and it took me 7 hours before they could let my hubby see me. I was soooooo sick. Basically the worst I could be and Im over it and doing great. PS said that rarely happens to people but I wouldnt change my decision for anything! Even in that state I just kept thinking about how great it would all turn out, so dont worry. You will more than likely NOT have my reaction issue and it will be a lot easier for you. Best decision you will ever make for yourself!
