Finally on the "Flat Side" and I Think the Worst is Behind Me

Well, just like many of you I'm a happily married mother of 2 wonderful little boys (ages 3 & 4). Both delivered by C-sections, both weighing over 8lbs! I'm 5'1, and weighed 145lbs going into surgery. Needless to say, I hated my post-pregnancy tummy! All that loose saggy skin & fat forced me to where "spanx" everyday with every outfit. I researched PS for years before ever even scheduling an appointment. I met with FIVE PS & went with the doctor I felt most comfortable with. My doctor & his staff have been amazing!
I'm posting my personal "timeline" just to let other gals know they're not alone in this lonnnnnnnnng process.
Post Op
Days 1-3: burry/ hazy memories of pain. Hard for me to empty my bladder
Days 4-5: unable to stand straight up, unable to be walking around for more than 5mins at a time, drains are driving me CRAZY
Day 6: I had a real emotional day. I started to get upset with my speed of recovery, drains still driving me CRAZY
Day 7: Went to doctor, removed both drains! Woohoo! Much better day, first time leaving the house
Day 8: well, day 7's outing caught up with me. Just a reminder, this is a long recovery/healing process. It's all about BABY STEPS
Day 9: a good day. Still unable to stand up straight but able to be up for long periods of time. I think I've definitely turned a corner!
Day 10: a good day. Even though I still have a tun of swelling, I CAN see the light at the end of the tunnel

Hi ladies, I'm now two weeks post FTT w/ lipo to the flanks & MR. I feel great. Everything looks good expcept my belly button. I got the sutures removed from my new belly button yesterday, and today it is oozing & looks angry. I do have a seroma at the top of my tummy where my ribs meet. My PS aspirated 60cc from it yesterday then wrapped an ace bandage super tight over the spot. I go back in a week so he drain it again, assuming it will come back. I was told I can transition from my binder to spanx now. I was excited to hear that! Looking forward to wearing normal clothes & not having the bulky binder showing through......Well, this morning I went to put the spanx on and I could barely get them past my thighs!! (These are pre TT spanx that used to fit fine) I tried another pair, same thing......FINALLY, I was able to fight them all the way up. I lasted an hour in the spanx. It hurt on my incision, I was so uncomfortable. I could not get those things off fast enough!!! I'm back in my binder and all in the world is fine again. IS THIS NORMAL? HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THIS? Should I buy a bigger size spanx, order a CG made for post surgery or just stick to the good 'ol binder? HELP PLEASE : /

Has anyone else had yellow drainage from their belly button after stitches were removed? I've been cleaning it 2xs a day with peroxide, putting neosporin all over it & covering it with gauze.
