Posted 7 Jun 2010

I am a mother of 4 children. I am 28 years old, my height is 5'4 and I weight. 174 I'm overweight I know. Lol.. I got my breast aug and full T.T on May 10th, it was a good thing. I'm 4 weeks post op and I'm thrilled to see my final results. I can't wait to see them.

The day of my surgery I was super nervous to the point that my BP was high, they had to give me a pill to lower it lol. After that I remember they put me in the surgery room and the anesthesiologist got the IV in me and was explaining everything step by step. He then told me while I'm getting this meds in u the nurse will start washing ur abdomen after that?????? I don't remember anything. Then I woke up 3 hours later I asked the nurse "omg is that it?" Thank god I wasent feeling sick or anything. Soon after that my husband took me home. I really didn't need pain meds till like 8pm that was 5hours post op and didn't have pain but still took them because I was scared to be in a lot of pain later. The only hard thing was getting out of bed and going to the R.R. Oh yeah and the stupid drains with girdle.

Well today June 8 went in to see my P.S because yesterday I noticed a little spoit that was kinda red and felt alittle pain my gauze in that little spot was kinda moistured and had yellowish pinkish fluid on it. The dr said it didn't look infected but gave me antibiotic just in case ugh!!! More antibiotic for 5more days.. Hopefully it gets better. He also said my incision looks nice idk what can be so nice about it LOL..

I'm glad you're doing well aaand that you had no pain, I'm hoping the same outcome for me : ) Can you post pics would love to c your before and after. I'm having me TT on the 17th. I'm very excited and nervous at the same time, but I'm ready for my tummy to go back to the way it was before I had my li one ( or close to it) C-ya : )

Not sure what happened but I've changed the cost to "$10,000". I guess a $10 tummy tuck was too good to be true... *sigh* ;)

Hi.. The reason he told you to massage the incision is because doing that will help alot with breaking down that hard scar tissue that can occur. It really works.. I had lipo on my chin and declotage about 8 years ago, and remember massaging the entry points. Picture it as if you were tenderizing a tough meat with a mallet.. The more you hit it the softer it gets... So start tenderizing :-)
