I had a full tt with muscle repair, Lipo of lower flanks and fat grafting. I'm 4 days post-op and only needed vicoden the first 2 days. I was feeling really sick from the meds so my PS had me stop and switch to Tylenol. I feel much better with the Tylenol. I can get in and out of bed by myself. I still have drains. Not too much draining about 25 cc's every 6 hours. Now I'm just BORED. Good luck!

I am watching lots of TV. To be honest Im super bored. I just want to get up, shower and go shopping. I'm still not allowed to shower. Today is my 1 week post op mark. I can't shower until Thursday! Tomorrow my drains get taken out I hope that'll help me feel better, the drains are hurting me. But other than that I'm feeling ok. Not too painful other than the first 2 days. I cant figure out how to get my before and after pics posted let me continue trying.

Hello - what a nice low scar line...and a great belly button also!! Congratulations - you are looking great and so quickly.
The meds are definitely hard on the tummy so if you are doing great with just the Tylenol that is awesome.
I look forward to reading more about your recovery as you go...also update pictures:)
Let me know if you have any questions.

Allright so im super nervous about to go get the drains removed. I can't wait but I have a feeling it's going to HURT. The one on my rt side has been really bothering me. However it'll be one step closer to full recovery. My support garment is in dire need of a wash so as soon as I get home it's getting thrown in the washer. Ill take a new picture without the drains when I get back. Wish me luck.

Wow your results look great!
How are you feeling? Has the recovery been painful?
I'm 14 days away and couldn't feel more anxious.

You look great! You're so lucky your drains came out fast.
Your belly looked so much like mine- that shriveled area around the belly button. Good Riddance!!

So it's been almost 2 weeks and I'm feeling really fat. Has anyone else felt like this? I haven't even attempted to wear my normal clothes because I will lose my mind if it doesn't fit. I don't know if it's swelling or what but I'm not feeling slim. ??

It's the swelling!!! Swell Hell....darn it. Unfortunately this lasts for a while so hang on. Are you drinking enough water? That helps a bit..
Please do not try on your clothes right now because this will only frustrate you more. The first month is not great for feeling slim but know it will get better but takes time.

I feel like I have a water balloon inserted under my scar. Between the numbness and the puffiness it's just an area I avoid. It's going to be peasant skirts for awhile.

OMG yes you must be talking about the pubic mound. Needless to say it's HUGE I call it my man buldge. I'm assuming it's just swelling and it'll go away. I hope.
Are you watching lots of movies and reading books? I'll be honest with you, sometimes I fantasize about getting laid up for a couple weeks. :) Seriously, I'm glad you're recuperating well. Do you have before/after photos you'd feel comfortable sharing with us?
