POD 12 Feeling Great!
Today is POD 12 and I am relaxing out of town with my family. I have zero to little pain. I occasionally have a shooting/burning/stabbing pain if I sit in a low chair or turn too quick in bed. I'm assuming it's a nerve.
I will be getting my sutures out Monday. My Dr. said it was no biggie to wait a few more days so I didn't have to come home for a simple suture removal. I wear my binder 24/7 the tighter the better and my surgeon said I can place a light camisole underneath since the elastic was irritating.
I return to work next Tuesday and hoping to get suggestions on garments to wear other than this binder? I appreciate any input.
I'm also not taking any meds for discomfort and moving around tons! We are on a lake vacation, I'm enjoying the outdoors but NOT going in the water past my knees. The last thing I want is an infection.

I decided a year ago that I was going to have a tummy tuck. I didn't tell anyone and slowly put the money aside anticipating the cost to be $10,000-12,500 (I have no idea why). I finally made a consultation appt in April. After seeing my photos and speaking with the doctor I booked myself for July when I had some time off work.
Long story short I am 7 days post-op, drains are out, I'm functioning completely independent. I was driving by POD4. Haven't needed pain meds since day 2. I think I had myself so afraid of the pain that when I was doing ok I was excited. I even sent my family away for the weekend so I could be alone, and I did fine. It forced me to move and I was able to sleep/rest/watch whatever I wanted. I have another appointment 8/3 to remove sutures but I have no complaints so far. I am excited to see the final results.
I had my first shower today and it was glorious! I will post photos when I become braver.
