WORTH IT$6,700
I'm 10 days post and I have left drain. She took right one out but say keep left one in until Tuesday. I'm draining very little 5cc and it's dark red. Where the drain insert is has been bleeding. Geesh I can't wait until it's ok. I'm trying to think positive but I got a feeling it's gonna hurt like he'll coming out. I feel like it's all tangled in my muscles and cause me to walk uncomfortably and not fully stand or walk straight. I notice the swelling durning the day, I come home take arnica pill and massage cream on tummy, binder and heating pad and I wake up flat. I hope it's just swelling above incision and not sermona. I feel over all ok, not taking pain pills but once a day Tylenol. Promise will post pic by Sunday ladies

Glad you're feeling alittle better :) Yeah sneezing and coughing sucks right now I know girl. Try to avoid sneezing at all cost for at least one week but just in case you do feel a sneeze about to come just pinch your nose tight and hold your breath until it goes away. If you have to cough...do it gently and push on your stomach while you're coughing to avoid putting pressure on your muscles. That helped me alot !

Ok so I had my post op appointment today ugh due to the extreme pain I was in, I was taking too many pain pill and sitting there today so high in front of the doctor how embarrassing I didn't know!! I even had the nerves to tell her the pills wasn't working and I needed more. She made me stand straight up and eat 3 sugar packs, I was so sick, felt like throwing up, chills and sweat. Boy did I feel and looked like a crack head!! Lol I'm better now she gave me the option to wear the binder or not. She said everything looked good. I was on cloud nine I didn't even look at myself and she had the medical assistant go get my aunt and bring her back in the room and told her to control my meds!! I know, I know.... But I'm gonna try n upload some pic. By the way I do feel better!

Dont' take any tape off unless she tells you to. I had my tape on for 3 weeks. Now i had this other tape at the top of my abdomen, below my rib cage until my drains were out, so that's probably when u will to and that was about day 6. U r burning cause of the lipo more than likely. Drink tons of water and use ice packs if u can.

I am glad you are feeling better. I had my incision open up a tad (i did too much last weekend and the swelling and all caused it to open). I have put ointment on it and covered it and it's healing again. So when u start feeling better, that's great, but even if u can walk around the mall or feel u can lift things or clean the house DON"T lol.
