Day 2- still struggling getting in & out of bed. Other than that, I'm getting around ok. I havent peeked yet but i'll try to get my husband to take off my compression garmet this evening so I can take a good look. It's really starting to itch...
I've had alot of draining from the lipo incisions and drain in my stomach is finally slowing down & not looking like pure blood.

Well, I'm 10 days post op now. I had my first follow up appointment yesterday and got my drain tube removed. I'm still having difficulty getting in & out of bed but it's getting a little easier each day. It's probably due to the major muscle tightening I had. So much so that I have a deep crease in my upper abdomen that's from the sutures being placed deep in my fat. As the sutures dissolve, the crease will flatten. My dr also told me that I didn't have to wear the tight binder anymore and that I could wear a spanx type garment if I wanted to. I'm still quite swollen and my back & sides are tender to the touch but I'm making progress. Can't wait for the crease and swelling to go down so I can see the final result :)
How are you feeling two months out now? I'm so happy I did this ;)

I had my surgery today! Everything is going well other than having to get up & down. I guess it's from the muscle repair because it only hurts in my upper ab's and God does it ever!
I also have a lot of draining which looks like pure blood.
Time to TRY and get some sleep!
