Happy That the Big Belly is Gone! - Cleveland, OH

Thank you!

Thank you! I get so discouraged sometimes. These photos give me perspective.

Yes! I am having that as well. But I've been having a problem with fluid all along, and I attributed it to that. I called for an appointment today and I'm waiting to hear back.

I'm feeling a little discouraged today. I'm 5 and a half weeks post op. I had fluid over my whole belly around 2-3 weeks post op. The PS said he didn't want to drain and that it would probably resolve. It stayed pretty much the same over the next 2 weeks. He had told me to stop wearing a binder after 1 week, but about 5 days ago I decided to put it back on to see if it would help with the fluid. I thought it was helping until this morning. Now I clearly have a pocket of fluid on one side. I called the office, they have not called me back. I know it will have to be drained, and I'm leaving for the beach on Friday. I'm frustrated; I just want to be healed already! I just needed to vent - this process is driving me nuts. And I'm a little angry because I think that if I had worn the binder longer this might not have happened.

Ndngirl - You took the words out of my mouth. I breezed right through my c-sections, but this tummy tuck kicked my butt!
