WORTH IT
This was my first surgery ever. I was extremely nervous. But I was prepared mentally what to expect. I have been needing this surgery for years. I get rashes and irritation from daily routines. My flap needed to go!! I trusted my doctor which made things better. I went to surgery center at 8am and was in surgery at 9:30am. Woke up at 11am. I was not a lot of pain. Just some from muscle repair. Wow getting out of bed is hard! Lol!! I left 20 mins after waking up. It felt so tight!! Like I did 3,000 crunches and someone was sitting on my stomach. I couldn't see it till Friday the 20th. Wow what a difference! I get to meet with my dr Tuesday which I look forward to. I am extremely happy with my experience! On day 3 now and no bowel moment:/ going to work on that more today haha. I'm a little achy but I believe it's just from the gas pains? I highly recommend this surgery . I already feel healthier.

Day 4
I'm feeling awesome. Just drained. I really haven't done much ! I finally had a bowel movement which was insane!!! I was so scared after hearing all the horror stories about pooping after tummy tuck. Well let's just say I was shitting all night last night lol to much and tried to hard hahaha but at least it was not hard. So far I'm not draining a lot. Still tight but it's a lot easier for me to get out of bed. My appetite is slacking but I'm making myself eat . I go to my last post op apt Tuesday and then I get to fly back home! I can't wait!!!! I need to take more pictures of the new tummy but the dr wants it on 24/7. Again I'm extremely happy with everything . Worth it!
