Second Post Op Appointment finished!

Hello! So my second post-op appointment was today, and the doc said everything looked great! I got both drains out after just 11 days! My staples in my back came out, as well as the stitches around my belly button. I had a small opening in my scar line on my tummy tuck, right in the center. My doctor said that as long as I put antibiotic on it, it should heal within a week! I also had a small irritation on my side from the steri strips, but the antibiotics should help with that, too. I'm having a little pain at the drain sites, but I think its just from the healing process. I'm feeling pretty good, but I hope to start wearing normal clothes soon. I'm really tired so I'm going to take a nap; have a good day!

All done!

Hello everyone!
So I'm finally done! I was worried I would let get a chance to have my surgery because of a scratchy throat, but all my vital signs were normal! As Dr. Finkle was marking me, I got a little light headed and had to sit down, but they said this was normal. Pre-op stuff took a LONG time, but it was really nice to hear how everything was going to happen. The last thing I remember was them talking about how they were going to show me around the recovery room. I woke up in the recovery all finished in, what felt like to me, minutes! But I didn't even leave the surgical facility till 7 at night! I got there at 6:30 in the morning! Doc says everything went really well! Took off six pounds of skin!
However, he initially told me he was going to out the implants under the muscle, but my mother informed me he put them over. She couldn't remember the reason, something to do with appearance?? Anyways, I will ask him about it today; I'm going in for a dressing change! Hopefully I can see some of the results! I can't wait to see my flat tummy!
Stay lovely!

Hello everyone! So my surgery is coming up fast, next Friday! Unfortunately, right now I'm buried in my final exams, and fortunately, I just got asked on a date! :) Of course it happens 8 days away from when my body will be sliced open!
Anyways, I am feeling very good about my surgery! I cannot wait for it to finally get here! I will post before and after pictures as soon as I get the official ones from the doctor. They look better than anything I've tried to take with my phone, and I know pictures help much more than all this text does haha!
Have a fantastic day!
