I'm still glad that I had the procedure, but have to admit that I hate the scar. It's so tight that it's uncomfortable. I would really recommend that everyone planninng on this surgery use not only the recommended creams, but use regular massage to break up the scar tissue. I feel like I didn't do enough massage and am paying the price. However, the work still looks great and I am enjoying the feeling of confidence that I get from the lack of c-section junk.

Oh my dear, if it weren't for the fact that I am in Michigan and you are in Alabama I think we would be fast friends. We would perhaps be asked to leave some stuffier establishments for inappropriate behavior, however! I am technically old enough to be your mother however (57) and have step children older than you, but am finally having surg Thursday. Breast reduction after wanting one since I was 17, when I first sported a oh so lovely 38DD. And let me tell you, bras this size in 1970 were anything but attractive. Soooooo, I digress.... Having these sad saggy puppies that have left big dents in my shoulders lopped off and hoisted back up where they belong! When I disrobed, my PS was saying how I looked pretty good but then turned around and I heard "ohhh .....". I rest my case. So a reduction , mini tummy tuck (I have a hanging roll from babies and weight loss) and a little lypo for my flanks. Scared and excited. Know I'm kinda old , but hey, the whole cougar thing is working for other people..... Anyway, I loved your posts and your advice. I am coming home with percocet so I should have better pain control. The idea of the drains freaks me more than anything. I don't do my own blood and guts well! I am too chicken to post pictures, but I am sure u look amazing !! Thanks for making my morning. I think I am a little less nervous!!.... Oh , BTW, I am a little concerned that my PS has not talked to me about getting any special support garments, so perhaps I should try to do some on line ordering?

I've had a couple of blood spots in my bra over the weekend after having a breast lift and augmentation almost 3 weeks ago. I've also developed some apparent bruising in the same breast. I'll call the doctor and doublecheck tomorrow, but has anyone had something similar?

So I got the drain out and am really glad. I had hoped that it would lead to a good night's sleep in my bed instead of the chair, but not so fast. Maybe tonight. I'm trying to wear the ab binder as tight as directed, but it's really challenging. I recall that someone had some discussion about stage 2 garments that included some Spanx products, but I have not been able to locate those discussions again. Does anyone have any recommendations for something to help with swelling post tummy tuck?

Thank you! As always, the grass was always greener. Once I got the drain anchored properly, I had it made. Now without it, I'm fighting the swelling. Still, it's progress. Hope you are well, too!
