PO day 5 - feeling okay. First few days were Hell, terrible nurses and possible lawsuits but that's besides the point. I'm tired all the time and my back is killing me. My incisions are burning but nothing I can't tolerate. First BM was yesterday, showers are so amazing. So glad y'all are here to refer back to with any questions or concerns. Well wishes to all still healing! I'll add pictures soon.

My surgery was rescheduled for February 26th and I'm ready! Going to put up some pre-surgery photos. Going to have a full tummy tuck with liposuction of the iliac crest, and a lift with possible small implant.

Hello, and welcome to the site! I have found this to be a great place for us to share our excitement, anxiety, fears, and outcomes. I look forwardmto following your story. When my husband and I went for my surgery we had to stay 2 nights at a hotel, and after reading through many of the stories I realized that I was going to pack light. I took 2 pajama bottoms/yoga pants, 2 buttonup shirts and 2 zip front hoodies, dark socks and 2 pair of granny panties, And a zip-up sports bra. Slip-on shoes are the best. I packed my overnight bag with the typical bathroom needs. I brought my Ipad for the times I was awake and bored. I also had some of my protein drinks and bars for extra snacking, protein is a vital source for your body to heal. Be sure to have some help arranged for you at home because you will not want to be trying to do everything you are used to when you return home. I am now 4 days post-op and I am so happy I had my family and friends and my amazing husband to stay here and help me out. Good luck and keep us posted!
