Im one day post op (I know, very early). When I looked down I was really upset as it doesnt look like most other after pictures. Theirs lots of creasing near the scar? Dr said this will go in time but Im not sure if this is true. Theirs a stitch above the new belly button, will this go? I had Lipo and tummy tuck and wanted to achieve a flat stomach.
I had my tummy tuck and muscle repair done yesterday morning. No its the next day and its 1:15 am and cant sleep because I have off and on what feel like spams-contractions. They come on quick and are painful. Is this normal? Will it ruin my repair? How can I prevent this. It hurts :(
Hi, I had a tummy tuck with liposuction yesterday morning. I have been in a lot more pain than expected. I had the Experell, but it didnt seem to work. Now, I am at home and in a lot of pain. I am alternating muscle relaxers and Percocet, but my pain level only comes down a little and doesnt last long. Is this normal? I know I have a very low pain threshold, but this seems extensive considering the other patient comments.
One day post tummy tuck and breast lift / augmentation . I have blood on my binder from one of my drain sites , I don't see my doctor until tomorrow though. It's so gross but I was told I should keep it on until I see him tomorrow morning , is it okay to take it off to wash it for a few hours ?
The nurse told me not to be surprised if I don't have an appetite, but I have the opposite problem. I feel much hungrier. I usually eat 1300 calories a day, but today I consumed closer to 1700! I've been eating things like eggs, protein drinks, brown rice cakes with almond butter and strawberries, bananas and apple sauce, chicken and sweet potatos. Should I slow it down or is this normal?
