38 Year Old Mother of 3 Children (19, 9, and 4) Tummy Tuck W/Lipo Flanks - Macon, GA

I am now 6 weeks out and must say I am in love with the new me. The only regret is I should done my breast at the same time, but overall I'm I'm love. My husband won't admit it but he's in love with the new me as well. Just a little swelling, still wearing my binder, still taking it easy as I was told swelling can last for 3-6 months. No pain, a little tingling in the lower back where lipo and anesthesia was performed. Just Happy!!!!!

I had my week check up this past Tuesday. I was only able to remove one drain. The other is draining between 25-50cc and they want me to leave it on for another week. I can take showers, go to the store (a little difficult walking), give my husband a rest from doing everything, and most important I can take care of myself a little better than the first week. My incisions look great and I was told to keep the belly button covered for another week. I still walk bent over. I am standing 85% straight up which isn't bad. My garment provides relieve but gets uncomfortable at times and I take it off for a breather. I will post updated pictures by tomorrow.

Today is a great day, no pain, not sleepy, no meds, just relaxing being me. I have not had one regret about this surgery. This procedure was exactly what I needed. Able to stand straight up just a little. I will post more pictures on Tuesday after my first visit to the doctor's office. They will remove my drains and pain pump. I'm just too excited.
