Day 3 post op. I felt good yesterday. Today Im in pain. Especially when I walk. I took after pictures and they are kinda scary looking. Definitely a tight tummy, but lots of pink splotchy and bruising. The binder is a love hate relationship. I know it helps with swelling, but it is painful. I called the dr last night because I was worried about swelling of the pubic area, but he said that is a common issue and to blame gravity. Which makes sense and I know other ladies have had the same issue.

Less than 2 days away. Work has kept me so busy I haven't had time to worry about my upcoming surgery. I haven't gone shopping or packed my bag. Hmmm, I think I better get started.

It went great. I was so nervous the morning of. But next thing I knew it was over. I had an amazing surgeon and have great results. I was nervous this evening because my pubic area seems excessively swollen and I was worried because the nurse overnight told me I need to be hunched over in bed not flat. But that is so uncomfortable for me. I called the dr and he told me the swelling in the pubic region is normal and that I should not feel like I should be hunched over, in fact if I want to be straight that is best. Because of the way he does internal stiches and quilts the stitches, there is a faster easier recovery.

I did it. I booked my appointment and had my pre-op yesterday! It is paid for and no turning back. One moment I am excited and the next totally panicked. I decided on a doctor. I picked the one with the most experience and "specialty" of tummy tucks. I got my prescriptions to fill and need to make my shopping list. Oh I don't think I mentioned its next FRIDAY. I needed to schedule it soon, the longer I wait I seem to stress. So 8/5/2011 here I come.
