Tummy and muffin top are GONE and my abs are normal and I am off meds and all is well!! Yes I have swelling, and I have sad days for no reason and I itch a bit etc,etc, etc but I have what I have always dreamed of...a body that I can look at naked and say,"ÿes, you look good girl !!!"

Well here I am ,the BIGESR drama Queen when it come topain,aches,and thiking 'the worst' BUT ladies,who haven't had the sx yet, let me just give you a quick review of a real sook[Aussie for scardy cat]
I has a pain pupmp filled with wonderful Pethaedine fir less than 2 days, then onto oxycodne ,and Panadola and codeine. I was afraid they didn't have enough drugs in the whole hospital to help me, but I was wrong. ! Used the pain pump with great gusto every second I was a wake. Got me thru the first 5 days easlily.After that, the only pain I had was getting up to pee. I feel NO pain now,just a little twinge now and then and slight,but painless "pull"where my fron inscision is. HOW...EVER.....I now have insomnia and NOTHING will shut me down, and when I take far more than prescribed,I still only sleeo 2-3jr if lucky
Good Luck to all the newbies just starting out on thif journey, and a speedy recovery to all you lovely experts who have been there, done that and bought a binder to prove it !!

Big difference in that tummy. YAY! I think I would have loved 6 days in the hospital. Even 3 would have been good. So sorry to hear the story about the knife wound. Nice you won't have to live with that reminder anymore. Very wonderful your 18 year old is so supportive. Hope you are feeling well. Not to long until your staples come out. Good luck, I didn't have to have anything removed except the drains. I had glue and got to peel it all off.

BabyBlues, your scars are looking so good,not to mention the rest of that cute little body..oops, is that a lesbian remark ??? My staples come out in 12 hours, and the straight onto the vitamin E oil and vitamin A capsules.{on Dr's advice] One hip stitching is so much highr than the other hip on me, but you know what ?? I am just feeling more and more feminine everyday....what a lovely feeling !!!!!!!

Thanks Kimmers, feeling pretty darn good too.There as not been ONE moment that I have regreted doing this surgery, and as my ever thoughtful husband said last night "Babe, you'll be the hottest old broad in our nursing home in 2040 "!lol

LOL.. oh men. This entire procedure also puts a spring in their steps. They are like little boys with new toys!

Only 7 days till I get rid of my belly once and for all.Got everything all organised,..My Dad,[85] who lives with us, is going into a Retreat for 2 weeks and my husband is working half days during that time to help me.My bag is backed and I have a box with my "Kimmers Survival Stuff"in it by the bed ready. Got my drugs for pain..woopie, lots of them !! Thinking I should have rented bed Kimmers suggested, but have nowhere to put it..darn.
I'm really prepared, both mentally and physically for the worst of it and the best of it.Thanks everyone, you've all been great .

Oh..we will all post to you! Welcome to the Roller coaster of emotions! You will be ok..

Hey Luana. One more week! This time will fly by- you'll see. Just enjoy your week. You'll be plenty comfy as long as you have lots of pillows and someone to pamper you.

Thanks Daffy, I just have to look at your photos and I am inspired to do well. I know there will be times I will just be a total MESS, but at least I now know that it is all normal..Kepp safe.

You will have good and bad days.. Have a look at my review post on Dec. 18 you'll see there are ups and downs. It was a bad day and it was almost 3 weeks post op! Now most days are good. It's a roller coaster.
Just rest, rest, rest. Your body will need time to heal so give it time.

Luana looks like your ready to go, it sounds like me when I was getting ready to go in, thats so funny it's like waiting to give birth lol. You will do fine your drugs are your friends take then every 4 hours thats what I did and I was never in that much pain.Take lots of picturs so we all can see.

Trena, it is a bit of a waiting game, but, about the meds...yeah!! I have heaps and heaps and have been in pharmacy for 30 years , so all is good to go there. How you doing?
January 4, 2011
Luana, not much longer now. You go on Monday. It will be fine I got really calm the day before my surgery once I had my last task completed. Daffy is so right it is such a roller coaster ride. I was having a down day yesterday and I am almost 4 weeks post op. I am sure getting my period did not help.
January 5, 2011
Like Babyblue, I got completely calm on the day before surgery. I was just so excited that it was all really going to happen. You'll be fine.
