34 Years Old, 2 C-sections, Raisin Belly is Gone. Cleveland, OH

My motivation surges came every time I worked out and I had to tuck my skin back into my pants. I did some research on this site and was looking for a doctor that did not do cookie cutter tummy tucks. I found Dr. Medalie, and appreciated his variety of beautiful outcomes. Today is day 2 after surgery and the nausea is a nightmare. I am very sensitive to all meds and get sick from them easily. The rest of the pain is reminiscent of my c-section, except this time I have drains.

Today was better after getting prescribed a stronger anti-nausea pill. I am walking more, though there is some burning sensation on my hip, I assume where it was cut????. Things are itching under my compression garment, so that is driving me nuts, but other than that, it is c-section pain, except it goes higher up do to the muscle tightening. standing up is like opening an accordion-you have to slowly rise and extend, but not all the way to straighten. Just trying to get rest.

Today I was walking around pretty confidently. I finally get the urge to have a bowel movement. IT was like giving birth! Please do not do this to yourself. I took the stool softeners here and there, and two shots of milk of magnesia over 4 days, and I still suffered excruciating pain. It was like a brick wall in there! After 20 minutes of trying to pass, it finally happened. The pain meds are what do this, just take that stuff as prescribed and don't skip doses or you will pay!!!
