Extended Tummy Tuck, No Drains :) - Stony Brook, NY

oh wow good luck! keep us posted. you will look amazing

it was kind of a blur, i just sat around alot to keep the abs from feeling like they were pulling. The exparel drug kept most of the severe pain away, but by no means was I super mobile.... i could sit in one position, so i had to forget about reaching up high or twisting or any stretching movements.... but the pain from sitting hunched over or slow walking was pretty minimal. the first few days was when i was most swollen, at that point it was hard to get my Spanx on since having to force them up was really taxing. both because my waist was huge and because i had limited upper body mobility and of course i couldnt be around the babies or they wouldve freaked out that i wasnt able to hold them.

that is good, i am not sure i will really be ready to do that much after only 8 weeks. my abs feel fairly tight and any stretching is sort of scary. i dont know how prepared i will be to lift with any real meaningful weight. acrobatic stuff especially will have to wait quite a bit longer. even thinking about backbends and handstands and such is terrifying right now lol. maybe i will take your doctor's advice! thanks :)

your one month photos look so great! :)

soon :) im just waiting til the last remnants of the sticky stuff come off the surrounding skin. scrubbing really hard right next to my scar sort of scares me lol. dont want to tear myself open trying get clean haha
