Well since my last update I have since been back to my surgeon on last Tuesday and had to get a drain on my left side. The right side is still open and draining very little. The tube on the left side has been in a week on this Monday and I have an appointment on this Tuesday and hopefully the drain will be removed I'm averaging about 20ml per day. Dr. Pyle has been absolutely wonderful and yes I am that 1% that drainless didn't work. My results are amazing and everyday gets better. I am still very swollen but even swollen the results are amazing. I will keep you guys posted on how my appointment goes Tuesday.

2 weeks post op, frustrated

Well......... I am almost 3 weeks post op and I took two steps forward and 3 back. Let's just say drainless is not for everybody and I'm that 1% that needs drains. So as the story goes at my one week post op I accumulated fluid in which I had drained and yes it was a lot. Well at my second post op I had accumulated more fluid and therefore he didn't place a drain but it opened my incision and I have been stuffing gauze in the and allowing it to drain. I started this on last Tuesday 1 day away from being 2 weeks post op. My next appointment is this coming Tuesday so I am hoping and praying all this draining will be over. I'm trying to be positive but it's hard at times especially when every review I read about drainless tummy tuck goes well and mine sucked. So on Wednesday I will be 3 weeks post op and at least I made it this far Thank the Almighty Father cause it could always worst.

Sorry to hear it opened up your incision opened up. What's the % rate of your case actually happening with a stainless tummy tuck? Have you ever had any major surgery before , like a c section? How big is your hole now?

It's not big about a half inch and he opened it up so it could drain. I'm that 1% that drainless tummy tuck needed drains.

Day 9

Nothing much to report but I can't get in a comfortable position at night and that drives me insane. I am a side and stomach sleeper so go figure lol.... Everyday there is an improvement tbh I haven't had any pain other than tightness and soreness from the liposuction, otherwise I'm good to go. Swelling is so much better and the lasix helps with that. Any whoot here are a couple of pics from one of my potty breaks.
