Hanging in there feel better today cut down on my pain meds slowly but surely and I had my first bowel movement today ...Yayyy the gas pains are horrible so I was happy to finally go make sure to take your stool softeners early on like day 2 or 3 trust me! Bruises are getting lighter swelling has gone down some except my feet they are the same since day 1. Overall things are moving along!

He was really great at the consultation let me know everything that I needed to know. He was also funny so it makes you feel more comfortable. The day of surgery I went in to his surgery center which is a little further down from where his consultation office was He spoke to me about complications if any and what to expect. He then marked me away and let me know what he was going to be doing . I met with him for my follow up and he was happy with results so far you can tell his passion for making us look good again..lol seeing him again Friday since I had my binder removed early on so just a follow up.Nancy my coordinator was also the best she always answered all of my questions weeks prior to my surgery no matter what it was she was always there as far as right now I am happy with the office I chose I will keep everyone updated I will post pictures as soon as I get my binder and everything taken care of !

Did you have lipo of your arms also? He recommended lipo above the armpit for me with the breast lift and the tummy tuck with lipo. So most of your pain is from the lipo
Yes I did I know its painful..lol hopefully its worth it because results are not right away that's for sure I'm being patient tho. Had a better day if anything its being hunched over that's my problem now hopefully I can straighten out soon my back hurts like hell!
But Dr.Salama is really good I love my tummy results and whenever I have a question he always answers me right away.
How are you feeling today?
My pain level is not as high anymore its more my back that kills me from the fluid I have in there from the lipo not sure if that's normal cuz the other areas don't hurt as bad anymore but I'll ask him Thursday when I see him. Im able to get up w/out help and shower on my own with the loofa aon the stick of course. Still swollen so haven't seen the flat side yet
Taking it day by day thank you for asking
Hey hon checking in how are you today ? My Sx is on Friday I am so nervous was debating on the lipo thinking to maybe save it for another time. Did he do your flanks ?
Hello Nikki2803, I was just wondering how you were doing, and if you had any up-to-date photos

I have been waiting for years to get this...

I have been waiting for years to get this procedure done and finally decided to have it done when my financial situation got sorted out. I have been freaking out this past week and the day came yesterday and I'm mixed with emotions. I guess I have to wait in the swelling to subside and be using but I definitely can tell my stomach is flat again and I can feel the tightness in my muscles.

Post some pics hun when ur feeling up to it
This expierence is not peaches n cream..lol Day one was ok due to still being on the anesthesia you really don't feel as much pain. Day 2 was the worst by far coming down from all the pain meds I feel the only reason I'm in so much pain though is because of the lipo the bruising hurts like hell I had some in my arms, back and thighs but not aggresive just light lipo but that's what really hurts me the most..My stomach is numb for the most part. But he did a good job I can't tell with the lipo yet because in swollen like a balloon everywhere. Just drink alot of fluids day 1 to keep you going to the bathroom you may not want to get up but its important to keep moving and get a walker if possible that keeps pressure off my back when walking back and forth being hunched over hurts when I'm not using one. Hopefully you have a good friend or significant other to help you around your gonna need it that's for sure especially if lipo is involved.
Thanks this was helpful, i get my tt in june. I wish you luck and to have good recovery. Please keep us posted
No problem I sure will. Now I'm having gas pains so I will call my PS later to ask him what I should do.
Thats for the detailed in. Im looking @ the used store for a walker
I am also freaking out do you mind if I ask some questions? How was day one? I am scheduled for the next couple weeks? Did you have lipo?
That's good its really a lifesaver also for the first week you have to wear compression socks to prevent blood clotting they provided me one but it was really tight cutting my circulation plus your drains will drip down your leg so having an extra will be helpful if you have any questions let me know I'm more than happy to let you know what I'm going thru.
Congrats! You look amazing already! I just booked with Salama for December and am very excited. I'll be following your journey for sure. :)
Thank you I don't feel amazing now but I do see the difference for sure its a hard journey if lipo is involved I'll update pics on my bruises haven't took any yet but I will.
You had major surgery. I'm sure it'll be tough for the next few days but hang in there! You did the hardest part. Just try to rest and relax now. :)
Thank you and the best luck to yours!!
How are you feeling today?
