I finally gathered the courage to go under the knife. Tomorrow at 10 am I will be doing my surgery. I Am happy and very exited. I am confident that everything will be a success and will change my life. I will be posting my progress. I want to include details about pain, what to expect, and every information that I feel will be worth sharing.

I could not believe how fast it all went. I got to the surgical place, and the anestesiologista just gave me something to relax ;, I just woke up in the room that I spent the night. That simple!!! I liked the way dc Danyo works. I woke up already with the binder and surgical bra. He added a numb catheter close to my incision to numb my stomach. So having it all numb and the pain medication was very amazing.
I had only some soreness, and I was able to sleep good. What a great experience !!

I was truly afraid with this procedure. Especially with having a tummytuck combined with breast augmentation and lipo. I was expecting the worst and gladly, it was not that bad????????. I arrived, got into hospital Gowl, medication, and a nurse moved me to the surgery room. Yes, it was scary at first, and I feel like shaking all over by the time I saw all the surgical tools. The anesthesiologist said “ I will give you something to relax ok?” Than boom... I just remember being at the room I spent the night and looking down and realizing that I had boobs and the whole thing was done. WHAT A RELEASE! My husband said to me that it was over and time to relax. I was proud of myself, happy, euphoric, and words cannot describe. There I started to see how was my pain level and, I realized that I was numb; I mean no pain . There I was choked. I felt nothing on my boobs and only disconcert and Soreness on my belly. I really have to say that my doctor made sure that I was not going to suffer and made me feel comfortable as he could. So yes I am happy!!! Tomorrow will be day 2 and I will came back to report my recovery????

I had the dumb idea to change my binder by an amazon one that I recently bought. Sadly, I took the whole day sick from my stomach.
I felt nausea, gas, and blotting. By night time I decided to remove this new binder and felt better
right away. Yes, I am sticking with the one given to me In the hospital. Overall, my recovery is being great. I am feeling better everyday.

I woke up feeling uncomfortable with nausea and soreness. Than my period came????. At least my discomfort was due to my pms symptoms. I was comfort to know that a tummy tuck is not that bad. I am still happy that the pain is not that bad. I personally fell more frustrated on being laying down all the time than the surgery itself.

I went to my first app with the doctor ,and sadly I could not remove the drains. I was so sad thinking how Can I live another week with those annoying drains?. Well it is what it is!!!! I am doing so good. I get tired fast ,but I feel able to do lots of things. Sim also started applying coconut oil on my incision and massagem it.
