22 Years Old, Upper and Lower Abs and Flanks

Hello!! Ah it will fly by, soon be your turn!!! Today i am quite sore, anaesthetic has worn off now, my stomach feels slightly numb with pins and needles. i took my garment off for a shower, washed it dried it with a hair dryer as i felt lost without it and very strange, with it being early stages didn't want it to affect my final result. One of my incisions is still weeping slightly but not much now, I'm nearly 48 hours post op so hoping that should stop very soon!! will you be having drains put in after? i didn't have any, but have read a lot of reviews where people have had them!.. The whole procedure feels slightly strange, i would say the most uncomfortable part would be where they pump the fluid into you, apart from that it is not painful just uncomfortable. its bare able though, all i could think of was a bikini and the beach haha. My garment is very tight, although i am getting used to it now sometimes feels like it is digging in, but i suppose it is a compression garment!! I have read a lot of reviews with people taking arnica tablets to try and reduce bruising and swelling, i started taking those yesterday, i also bought the arnica soothing gel today. i bought an ultrasound massage machine from jpmproducts.co.uk which is supposed to be great for helping the skin and also removing and bumps which may occur. i have an MLD booked for monday as i finally found someone who does it in my area!.. if your not having drains be prepared with lots of gauze swabs, tape, tena lady pads to also put over incision sites, anything that will absorb the fluid is good as you can end up quite wet!! from boots you can buy those disposable bed pads, they were great for my bed, absorbed loads and kept the bed dry! ill have a think if theres anything else i could tell you... any questions feel free to message me, i like having someone to speak to about this!! hopefully we'll speak soon, good luck!!!xx

Never got a notification you replied to this :( Only seeing now as im going back reading everyones reviews again lol mainly to pass the time over the next 6 days hehe!! This time next week i will be probably in agony lol but ill be post one day anyway and itll be all over. Did you have any sedation at all? I think we just have a pill and thats it to calm nerves but thats all rest is completely awake. Its good the garment is tight as tighter the better for compression. Yes i have arnica gel and tablets and bromelain and an ultrasound machine for home massages, my MLD therapist is coming over this week to meet me and show me how to use my machine etc and how to roll up some bed pads for adding shape etc she seems to know what shes doing which has given me confidence. Shes coming over the sunday after my op on saturday and then shes there tues weds thurs and fri. No drains for me just leakage so lots of maxi pads and incontinence pads bought, my info pack says they use four packs of 12 super maxi pads to create a leakage vest under my garment so ive bought 8 packs for me to do it myself too as well as the pads. YOU NEED PICSSSSSSSSS! hehe spur me on a bit get me going ahhh! xx
