Tummy Tuck with Lipo in Flanks - Minnesota

I am 11 days post op and feeling amazing. I stopped all pain meds last friday and haven't needed any tylenol or ibuprofen. I got one drain out today and that was a little painful but the soreness went away quick. Next friday I get my second drain out. Things will seem so real when that happens and I'm excited. I keep my binder on at all times except to shower. I really am not comfortable without it, it gives me a feeling of security. I can't believe I feel this great. I do have a lot of tightness during the day and feels like this feeling will never end but its well worth the results.

Coming out of surgery was difficult. I was shivering and nausea and vomited twice. It lasted about three hours and then I started to feel better. The burning pain in my abdomen was bad for the first night and since then the pain has been well controlled. No problems with anything until day 4 post op I had the worst nausea, felt freezing and sweat dripping off of me. I sat on the toilet for 30 minutes and just didn't get better. I had a glass of orange juice and a banana. Took my temp and it was normal. Not sure what happened but my husband thought it was something with a low blood sugar. Day 5 has been great and i'm starting to feel good again. No pain pills since yesterday. I wish I could download my before pics, will try at later date. I weighed 200 and am 5'6.I had two big babies via c sections and the skin just overlapped since. They took off 5lbs in the middle of skin and 5lbs total from the sides with lipo. My husband who said he wishes I didn't need to do this was very excited in the end. He thought I would never look so awesome so fast. He has been extremely supportive but was nervous.

I never do anything for myself but since I had my first child I knew I needed a TT. I talked about it for years and when I set up my consultation on April 7 I knew I was finally going to go through it. I set up my procedure for April 18th since there was a cancellation I got in quick. Now i'm 5 days post op and doing great.
