24 hours out. Really sore but no regrets so far. Will post before and after pics later. Haven't taken my binder off to look at anything yet. I've wanted to do this for about 10 years so I finally decided to just go for it. My spouse is taking excellent care of me! Member reviews and experiences have been very helpful in my research.

Feeling better today, but I must say the lipo areas are much more painful than the tummy incision and stretching. I am able to get up to go to the bathroom on my own, but still need help getting back on the bed against my pillows. I will go back to Dr. K on Monday for post op and to change from binder to corset. Happy weekend!

Went in for post op yesterday. That was a rough trip got very dizzy and almost passed out in lobby. (Never had that happen before) Dr. K says everything looks great gave instructions for changing bandages and I go back next Monday. They put me in a bodysuit, it took my spouse and a nurse to get me into it. Crazy!! But it's cute with lace around the edge of the thigh and a flower in the middle of the chest area LOL
Pain is not bad, the worst part is being so hunched over that it kills my back. He pulled me really tight so I did expect it. Will get one drain out Monday so that'll feel like another step forward... will post before and after pics towards the end. Still no regrets, just looking forward to improvement with each new day.

Thank you for checking in with us and letting us know everything went well. The first 2 weeks are the worst but you will improve. Rest, medicate, and hydrate for now. Also make sure that you are getting up and moving around each hour. That is good for the circulation and will help prevent you from getting stiff and sore.
