17 days Post Operative!!
I do feel the swelling reducing slightly, still a bit numb on my flanks.. But do you know what I don't mind!! I am just so pleased with my result!! If the swelling goes down more, that's brilliant. But I am already over the moon...
Cant wait to stand taller... But I'm getting there!! :) [RS bleep]
Just ordered some bikini's!!!
I saw Matt again today, he said that I am healing nicely, and belly button is definitely on the mend. I need to keep it clean, and let the air get to it. I think I'm still going to use the antibiotic cream for few more days to create a warm, moist healing environment. Still brown inside from the silver nitrate, but it is improving... No sign of infection and starting to dry out. Woohoo!!
I have just ordered some bikini's and some dresses from boohoo... Saw them and fell in love!! Perfect excuse to have a little spending spree... (Going to have lots of them soon!! I cant wait!!)... New wardrobe required for my new tummy!!
I am feeling better today, not feeling as swollen, still got swelling!!! but my sides don't feel as numb. I am still bent over. I would say that I am at 85% but every day is an improvement... Just hanging in there!!
I have to say that this Is the least active I have ever been!! I cant wait to start exercising and start toning up!! I miss Zumba, I miss my cross-trainer and I really miss walking.... Straight!! I am still eating super healthy, lots of protein and fruit and veggies.... Please help me heal quicker!! I'm desperate to get back to normal... I feel okay, but hopefully a few more days and I will feel tickety-boo!! :)
Hope you girls are okay. [RS bleep]
Sharp intakes of breathe when yawn!!
I know its probably nothing to worry about as its just when I yawn and it will probably right it self, but has anyone else had it??? I think I might try doing some deep breathing exercises and see I that helps!!
Has anyone else had this? It's just annoying!! I will query this too on Wednesday when see surgeon!! [RS bleep]
Provider Review
I feel very comfortable with Matthew James. I trust him entirely... at pre - assessment I didn't feel rushed at all. Matt went through all the risks with me. He explained everything thoroughly, and showed me some fantastic photos on his camera of previous surgeries. I felt absolutely no pressure at all from him to have the surgery done. He completely sympathised and understood that I was so unhappy and I feel that I can trust him to give me the results that I so badly want to achieve. With every appointment that I had, he followed it up with a letter, he also kept in touch with my G.P. I have to admit not once have I felt any concern whatsoever. My questions were answered, without even asking!! The whole process has been so easy. I am so glad that I have found Matt. He has been professional, courteous, organised and has provided a completely stress free, efficient service!! He is also a highly rated surgeon and lecturer with regard to hand trauma, and well known for other cosmetic procedures.. My way of thinking is if he can do a fantastic job on intricate hand and wrist surgeries which require a great deal of delicate reconstruction, then my tummy tuck will hopefully be amazing!! ..................... I have had my surgery now, and I am so glad that I found Matt James, he is truly incredible. Very professional, kind, considerate and completely understanding.. He has seen me or phoned me every day to see how I am doing. I feel so taken care of and I am over the moon with my results... My incision looks very low down (perfect below the bikini line!!). My recovering is so much better than I was expecting, I am not even 72 hours since surgery but I feel so good!! I am now on just paracetamol and ibuprofen for pain relief, but I am not in any pain at all!! Just feel bloated like I have eaten too much, or feel heavily pregnant!! Lol!! All completely normal!! I have some bruising on my lower back but overall I feel pretty unscathed!! I am walking around hunched over a little and still have my drain in which is more of a hindrance!! Overall girls, seriously hand on heart I feel honestly so amazing already at this stage, I was expecting soooo much worse, but very pleasantly surprised!! Highly recommend Mr.Matt.James Xxxxxxx This surgeon is absolutely fabulous, such an eye for detail, so knowledgeable and so professional!! Thank you so much Matt, absolutely incredible!!!! Xxxxxxx
