I really wonder about all the women on this site...

I really wonder about all the women on this site that were able to squeeze into their dream bikinis / outfits three days after surgery. I'm not sure if it's because my Dr used glue and not tape on my incision, but I didn't like clothes rubbing against me so I've been wearing the surgery bodysuit corset 24 hours a day, every day and only yesterday felt good enough to try on all those vacation swim suits I've been storing in my closet.

So everything fits WAY better, but I'm still swollen, especially at the end of the day. I go back to work in a couple of days and am worried about getting tired and driving a long distance, but hey - gotta earn that $$$$ ! Anyhoo, I'm liking my tummy better these days, but am looking forward to the day the swelling will disappear and the scar will be less noticeable.

Forgot to mention, finally got my drains out....

Forgot to mention, finally got my drains out. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read all these stories about women feeling great...

I read all these stories about women feeling great 3 to 5 days after surgery, so I am feeling a little discouraged. I am 10 days postop and am still hunched over and in pain. What's up with that? I have my third doctor's visit this coming Thursday. Hopefully I will finally get my drains removed.

He was recommended by a friend who did her breast reduction like 20 years ago. I did get a consultation w/one other PS, but chose this guy because I read somewhere that he was a real "artist" about his work. Yeah, I know that's a lame reason, but to be honest, I really trust my friend's opinion and I'm just too busy with work and kids and "life" to spend a lot of time doing consults, which, by the way run around $150-$200 in the Northern California area! UPDATE 9/27/12 While I'm still not 100% where I want to be, I'm seeing more of what I like everday and have to give Dr. Cedars props. He is very knowledgeable and I've had no complications. He is very attentive and his staff is very responsive. I would definitely recommend him to anyone thinking about getting a tummy tuck in the San Francisco Bay area.
