Hanging skin after 3 pregnancies and Weight Loss Surgery

I had my surgery Monday and am pretty sore still but am amazing even with all the swelling how much smaller my mid section is! Dr. Behmand removed 5.9 pounds of tissue from my stomach and another 4 pounds with lipo from my back and flanks. I passed out a few times at the surgery center. The first time I got up to pee I passed out on the toilet! The nurses there are wonderful and never let me fall, they called the Dr. and he came right over to check on me. I was very impressed by how attentive and caring he was and how well they all worked together. Once my garments were loosened the passing out stopped. I am able to get up and down on my own now but it does hurt like hell. Cant wait to feel 100 percent!

Feeling a lot less pain but super constipated. Im afraid yo even try and push hard and pull internal stitches. How easily do those bad boys pop?

I am two weeks and one day out from my TT. I had a follow up with Dr.Behmand and he replaced the tape on my incision and packed my belly button and placed a new bandage on it. I am still pretty swollen but moving around well and wear my compression garment 24/7. Cant wait to be at 6 weeks out and able to DANCE!!! Im dying to hit the club!

So I am 5 weeks out today and feeling pretty good. Loving the results. I am tired of the binder and cant wait till I don't have to wear it all the time. I am still very very swollen from my belly button to the incision.
