The procedure went very well. Drinking a lot of water and peeing. I brought so much stuff and my PS said I will not be needing some of this stuff. I haven't had to take any pain meds yet. I am watching T V and sitting in a recliner. I have not been to sleep, because it us surreal. I have been planning this for years and finally had it done. I crossed over to the flat side.

Did your surgeon cut around your belly button, then pull the skin down? Or did he just use your belly button to gain access for the lipo?
June 12, 2014
To be honest - I don't know. I will ask him when I go for my post op appointment on Tuesday. I don't believe he cut because he said it wasn't necessary.

Hey lady. Thanks for posting on my blog. You look good. Are you satisfied. I am bloated or should Isay swollen. Huge. Dr today told me it'll go down. So that made me feel good. Are you walking a lot. I walk everywhere. Then I come to hotel about 4:00-5:00 and get in bed and rest till next day.

I am really satisfied with my mini tuck. The pooch is completely gone. Still a little swollen at top. But I can see that the lipo is going to take a little longer to see the full results.

No more kangaroo pouch for you! It is very surreal to have such a major change so quickly. I couldn't sleep the first night either. I was like.. What The Hey!?.....whenever I looked down. Welcome to the After party! Speedy, healthy, happy recovery

How are you feeling? . Are you walking around the house some?

I'm still sore and swollen - I have less pain than 5 days ago. It gets better each day. I've been to the mall and ran a few errands yesterday.
June 18, 2014
Yes - I have been walking.

Hey lady. I'm looking at your photos, do you not have drains in. I still have one in. You look good. You weren't a big person prior to your procedure. You look is going to be fabulous.
June 18, 2014
No I didn't have drains. I had a mini tummy tuck. My bandages were taken off yesterday.
