Post op day 7- sickness
Post op day 4
I took a shower for the first time since the operation (stinky gal) and it exhausted me. My shower was very short so I didn't risk getting light headed and falling basically some quick soap and hair washed. I took some pictures post shower. You can see I'm really swollen but I think it'll look great when the swelling goes down and the feeling returns to the area.
I also have been making myself walk a little more each day. Yesterday I walked 3 times for a total of about 1.1 miles. Today I walked 3 times and was able to go 1.75. I have been drinking a lot of muscle milk to help repair the muscles that were damaged (just like a body builder would do) and I think it's helped. I can't wait until I can get the drains out and just stand up. Being hunched over has been hard too.
The constant exhaustion has been hard as well. I am always napping but really haven't gotten a good nights sleep because it's hard to get comfortable.
I'm still unsure of the results but it could be the pain meds talking. I'm just happy I have clean hair now! Ha! Thanks for reading and the positive comments

Provider Review
Dr jones seemed really knowledgable on the topic. I was not going to have drains because I had a 'drainless' tummy tuck but because they took so much from my back they had to put them in and I trust this decision. He had to go out of town and dr sando did my follow up for discharge and he also made me very comfortable. When a drain started seeping (it can happen and is normal) both dr sando and dr jones called me about the issue on the weekend. Also at the facility I even made the comment 'this is the shortest amount of time I've ever waited for a doctor'. The procedure was at st vincent carmel
