No going back now my surgery date is booked for a tummy tuck with diastis repair/hernia repair and breast implants with lipo on the back, and sides and under the arm pits. I'm 127 lbs and 5'5". Super nervous but very excited. I've alwAys been super insecure how much my body changed after motherhood and very excited to get rid if all the excessive skin!! I've wanted this procedure for years. So surreal that it will be happening very soon. My pre op I picked put 275 cc high profile mentor silicone implants. Who knew it was so hard to pick out boobs, lol. I hope that I went with the right size and won't be disappointed!

I had my surgery on the 28th. Because I have a history of nausea after anesthesia they prescribed nausea pills that cost me around 100 for three pills and a scopaline patch. Well....didn't make a difference I was sooooo nauseous when I woke up and lasted until the middle of that night. I managed to not puke though! They were giving me drugs through my I and nothing seemed to help! I Stayed over for one night and checked out the next afternoon late. They wouldn't let me go until I got the nausea controlled and peed. Who knew it would be so hard to pee after this surgery. I am now 7 days post op and have definitely went through a whole roller coaster of emotions. Mad,sad, why did I do this, will I ever stop hurting or swelling??? I had my one week check up. She. Said everything looked good, took out one drain (btw weirdest freaking feeling when they take those out),took out my pain pump and gave me another prescription for Percocet and some cream to start putting on my belly button and incisions. My second drain doesn't come out till probably Wednesday-which means no showering until Friday. I will have gone 14 days wiout showering. So gross!!! Anyone ever have issues with their binder? Mine bunches on the side and really hurts. They didn't have other binders but she did say I could roll down the top to help avoid he painful bunching in my sides! I think I have actually had more pain from my binder then the abdomen. Still sleeping in my recliner and walking bent over a little bit!

Why are they not allowing you to shower with the drains?? I was able to shower the next day just not put soap on the drain hole but soap could flow over the drains. The binders are awful! Ask if they can switch you to a compression garment. My PS gave me one at 3 weeks and its Merena or Mirena don't remember the correct spelling. It has hooks on the side and a zipper that goes over the hooks plus a flap over the crotch with hooks that can be easily undone to use the rest room. No pulling things on or off until I shower. Its so much more comfortable than that awful binder.

They said risk of infection??? Tomorrow I get to finally shower! It will be the best day ever! That sounds like my binder it hooks on the sides and has elastic. They told me to not button the top two so that has helped and I've started wearing a tank under neath which seems to has helped with the rawness rubbing. Still hate the damn thing ha!

Awww, this should be the worst of it right now....I am sorry you are in such discomfort. Hellish story too about your nausea, how long before that stopped after surgery? I am dreading that aspect of general anesthesia.....

What is the pain really like the first week post-op and how much help did you need getting around?

It was rough for me! I needed a lot of help doing everything! Getting up and down especially! You will need an extra hand for sure the first week!
