Tummy Tuck: Stories

thankyou xx

It'll be fluid I'm sure, I can't tell yet that mines been done except for that I'm black, blue, green and yellow down there from bruising! That for now is my only guarantee it's been done there! X

thanks jan x

aw thanks... its a bit scary looking at them....can't believe what I have been through and how far I am along in the process but it has all been so worth it. you are gonna do just fine and you are gonna look great :) xxxxxxxx

yes i have been driving but not too far... it is not so bad apart from when you go over bumps and my incision is so sore today...its also not very comfortable getting in and out of the seat but apart from that its bearable xxx

thanks Tjuana - I should have taken out another loan for new clothes too! xx

see what I mean about Transform! So much conflicting information. The Nurse (Sue Sadjady - lovely lady) told me after 2 weeks you can go onto just days for the CG and that if you keep that on you dont need the hard binder at all. I'm gonna keep mine on day and night anyway I think especially seeing as the Marilyn one is so comfortable (a bit hard to get on but the fabric has a real softness to it, it's lovely. TK Maxx is the way forward!) Glad your new CG is going well - I just couldn't handle the slit opening especially when my period came! xxxxx

Morning - and is it today your birthday??? If so Happy Birthday! Yes we do seem to have had different experiences more so in surgeons I reckon. I had Sue on my last day, had a giggle as I was high on the ceiling with 2 tramadol! Sue took my drains out and re-dressed my dressings and with another nurse also very down to earth says it how it is etc, they put my in short short CG and had to stand against the wall arms up and felt like something out of a film saying to me "spread em"!!!! So for being high I'd not remember much from that morning in terms of on what to do and when. Since leaving I've rang 3 times for advice and rang Dawn the aftercare nurse. I figure as she sees us all after the event she accesses each person on how they're recovering etc but the basics I'd say should be the same. I took my magic knickers in from Debenhams last week to show her to see if I could start wearing them and Dawn said I could from 4 weeks after surgery. They are very comfy like a second skin and silky smooth. They have shoulder straps and fit around your bra, come quite a way up your back and down to mid to knee length with no seams so nothing pulling tight, all smooth. They too have a hole for the loo which when I tried them on I asked could I have another pair as they were faulty with a hole in! I was a tad embarressed when they explained! The others I have had from M&S don't have loo holes! They were £35 which can seem expensive. I wear over my underwear. They do all sorts of styles and I always go for full body so no digging in anywhere. Debenhams is the only place I can find with shoulder straps in, they're are like bra straps so you can adjust. Once I'm back in them I'll post a picture so you can see what I'm warbling on about! For strapless dresses I wear my M&S ones that come up under your brad and down to mid thigh/knee. Glad your feeling better too :) X

Happy birthday hope you have a lovely day x x

I saw them in debenhams the other week they look ace x

Oh gosh I hope I haven't ruined things by not using binders or CG properly. I'll be with dawn tomorrow so hopefully she will say im doing ok! my bday is 28th October lol but thanks for the good wishes :-D x x x

thanks jan lol! yes it's on the 28th :) xxx

Thankyou so much for your lovely message. I have been buying the dresses off ebay by searching for Bodycon dresses... I never thought I would be buying dresses in that style! it really does feel great knowing you can wear something tight instead of the usual tents I normally have to get!! Hope you are feeling ok xxx
