5 Weeks Po Tummy Tuck, Umbilical Hernia Repair - Atlanta, GA

Wen I woke up, I was taken to recovery , my fiance was already there. I dont remember much of what happened that day except using the bathroom a whole lot. Oh and talking to my doc about the blood that was pouring out of my left drain hole, that really terrified me. He told me it was okay as long as it wasnt collecting under my skin, and reminded me to start my percecet and mucsle relaxer soon, as the numbing meds he used would wear off shortly.

My first day after surgery was pretty rough, I slept on the couch, with a billion pillows, I woke up every 2 hours. And my throat was really irritated.from the anesthesia tube so a little blood phlem came up wen I coughed. Wen I woke up I felt like a freight train hit me, but wen I took my drugs I felt muuuuucchh better lol! I only had soup and drink because it felt very weird wen food went down but I increased my food intake every day. WORD OF ADVISE GET SOME COUGH DROPS, your throat will love you for it. Over the weeks I developed a cough from hell, couldnt have survived without hauls.

Dec 18, 2012 pre op appointment
My pre op appointment went pretty smooth, once we finnally arrived. I had my locations mixed up, and transportation took me to the wrong location. I had to wait 3 hours to be picked up to go to the right location, very nerve wrecking! When I arrived the suregeon went over things that I should and shouldnt do. He gave me the location and time, which was the next morning! I had a phone interview with the hospital about my medical history. I got my first op appointment, I didnt have many questions, just ready to get rid of the pain.
