Im 1 day post-op and im feeling decent. Im able to get around independently and use the bathroom by myself if needed. I do get exhausted if im standing/moving for too long though. I have a walker for extra support and a stepping stool to get in and out of bed. I actually have somewhat of an appetite but am eating lightly so i dont increase constipation with my pain relief medication. I got 2 drains and theyre draining nicely. I get a nurse here in a couple of days to check on everything so praying that it goes well. Updated on 10 Oct 2017: Today is not a good day. Been feeling nauseated a lot and the only thing that seems to help is sleep. My in-home nurse checked up on me yesterday but said i should make it my goal (today) to make a bowel movement.. The only problem is im feeling so nauseated I dont think I can keep anything down.. I tried to sip gingerale and i ended up puking it all up. Just one of those days...
Dr. Jenny Cheng did a tummy tuck and breast augmentation and did an amazing job. She's very professional, caring and honest. I love my new body. Thank you so much. I highly recommend her. If your looking for someone In Nanaimo she's the one.
My surgery is February 9. I'm having a full tummy tuck with muscle repair and upper abdominal lipo. I'm not sure if I'm more excited or nervous. My biggest fear is the post-op nausea - I can't imagine vomiting after abdominal surgery is much fun ???? I've wanted to do this forever and am finally at a place in my life where I'm able to. I've never had a flat tummy, even before I had children when I was thin.Updated on 1 Feb 2018: Updated on 10 Feb 2018: Surgery was yesterday and it went so well! I had abdominoplasty with muscle repair and lipo of my sides and upper abdomen. The pain has been be manageable. It feels like I've done 1000 burpees, that's how I would describe it. I'm just taking 1 Tylenol with codeine and an Advil every 4 hours and taking it very easy. I'm so happy with my result so far!! Dr Jenny Cheng was lovely and so was the entire staff at Seafield Surgical.Updated on 11 Feb 2018:
3 weeks post procedure and I find I'm a bit puffy and swollen by the end of the day but overall very happy :) can wait to see the final outcome compared to the first week I was nice and flat. Overall super happy. Dr cheng is awesome.
