6 weeks post op and very swollen!!! :'(

Hello ladies, I hope all of you are recovering Well and to the ones with upcoming procedures I wish you the best! I am 6 weeks today. I am very happy with my results, still haven't purchased a new garmet. Hopefully will do that tomorrow. Well ladies the only thing that I hate about the tummy tuck is the swelling afterwards! I am so swollen it is depressing me. I was able to wear a pair if my jeans yesterday, they fit fine a little bit snug. I was out all day got home about 8pm , got the boys ready for bed. I didn't lay down until 2am and got back up this morning at 6:45am. I was so disappointed this morning that I had to go back to joggers. I guess I didn't let my body rest enough that is why I woke up swollen. The swelling is at it's worst today! When I set down I feel the rolls bulging out I HATE IT! I am going to have a arnica tea which hopefully will help with the swelling. Otherwise everything else is good I guess. The small opening that I had is almost all closed up. My incision looks good. I want to start the scar therapy with te wraps. I just got to go online I heard it was a bit pricey for the silicone wraps but worth it! Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get the swelling down. I am up 10 lbs in one day who goes ip 10 lbs in one day? So sorry ladies that I am nagging so much! I am just so upset about this. I still don't regret getting a tt! I love my new tummy, just hate the swelling. Also, I am so sorry that I haven't posted any new pics but I have a iPhone and I can't download them. Kimmers would normally help me post pics, but she is on vacation( good for her). She gets back sometime next week. I just don't want to put pic on my laptop and have my kids looking at them. Well goodnight and hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!

Well ladies I can't believe how quickly time is passing. I am 4 weeks and I will be 5 weeks this Friday! Well last week I noticed I had a little opening on my left side of my incision! But I called my ps and he told me not to worry unless I got a fever. At week three I started putting maderma on my scar. I also put a bandaide with antiobots so that it can heal. It seams to be working. I get very swollen I know that I am pushing myself a bit to much! I still need to get me a new garmet. I will be posting some pictures that I took yesterday. You will also see the bad scars that the garmet has left me! Sorry in advance for any typos or writing errors. U am very tired and am writing at the same time. Hopefully I won't say anything bad. Otherwise everything is pretty good for me!

Hello ladies, it has been awhile since I posted. Sorry it took me so long to update you on my status. I am recovering fairly good I have to say. I thought it would be alot worst with all the stress I am dealing with at the moment! I am very swollen, almost standing straight, only get sleep if I take Tylenol pm, and getting a divorce! I went back home after the arguement I had with my husband but it did no good, all we do is argue all the time. I guess it's been something he has been dealing with awhiknolls and decided it was time to bring it up since I was so happy! well needless to say my happiness didn't last so long! I am doing very well though better than what I thought. We have been together for so long guess we were just familiar with one! You can't keep he who doesn't want to be keep! Well back to talking about my tummy! I am healing so well my scar is not that noticeable, once I get a chance will post picks! I do need to get a new garmet. The one that I have is giving me a bad rash above and below my incision. I am putting kotex all around my incision over my scar it seems to help a little bit. Does any body know of a good garment I can get? I will try to take some picks and post them once I get a chance. Wishing everybody is doing well and to the new tummy tuckers good luck on there procedures!:)
