I had a tummy tuck and lipo of the flanks on June 16,2011. I am now 2 weeks post op,and still waiting for my swelling to go down.Had a post op appointment today,and my PS said that I looked great and could go back to work next week. I did not have drains because my PS uses the disovable sutures.

My tummy looks alittle different from others that has drains.I can't wait until I am back to normal,I still walk with a hump back,however it's much better since my first day after surgery.The only complication I had is that I was consitpated from the percocets and the swelling in my back from the lipo was the worst.

Oh,my PS said that I could stop wearing my garmet!! Yes!! I am so glad I found this web site because I was getting depressed and the ladies on this web site are awesome and very supportive!!:)

Hi Girlie!   Thank you for posting your review:)  So glad to hear from you. 

Sounds like you are zooming right along and doing well.  Your swelling will take a while to go down so just be patient.  I now that is hard and coming form me pretty comical....just ask my hubby!  

And hurray for ditching the garment.  You will feel so much better without that darn thing.  So no getting depressed...just log on and reach out to all the ladies. 

Keep us up to date!
