Finally having my son after years of trying and a very difficult pregnancy, I was very unhappy with my mom body. While he was so worth it, I decided the timing was as right as ever to lose the pouch I was left with. Went in for limited tummy tuck, but my dr. Said once he got in there, if I needed a full one and my abdominal muscles sewned back together, he would do what I needed. I trusted him and his work instantaneously. The lipo has been way more painful than I ever imagined. I'm pretty much solid black and blue on my sides. Today is day 4 and I could finally get out of the bed by myself today. I took a week off work, but I do think I will extend that time through the end of this coming week since he ended up doing more and did a full tummy tuck. It's been hard to not be there for my 13 month old these 0ast few days and not being able to hold him for a while is the most painful of it all, but in time, I feel I will be 10 times more comfortable in my clothes and out of my clothes and still have my little man. Hoping this post helps anyone out there contemplating as I have stayed on this site in the weeks priorand post op.

Went to dr yday for followup at 5 days post op. He took out drain but immediately saw a concern for the area in my mid section near incision that was red and blackish. When he removed the plastic to take out drain. My skin came off with it. He said it is "stressed " right now and worried about it dying. He put me on silvadene and said to come back in 3 day. He said if not better hell also put on diff oral antibiotics that are more aggressive. Said to stay hunched over to put less tension on the incision and to change from my binder to spanx and let it breath every few hours as well to promote blow flow. Any suggestions? Is it necrosis at this point and too late or no? Im worried sick. Did he pull me too tight??

This is today's photo of the incision and the skin around it of concern. I have cleaned it...the white is from the silvadene. Anyone weigh in on the damage im looking at? Did we catch it in time or is it likely ill have to have a scar revision down the road? I fully trust my surgeon, just looking for 2nd opinions on here since all i can do is lay here anyways.
