Hello I'm going in for tummytuck on Thursday. So so scared of the recovery! I read a lot of reviews and people are talking about so much pain. But everyone is loving the new them! I wanted for few years now after my daughter was born. And now I think it's a good timing . All my kids are in school, my husband and my in laws are taking care of the kids. I'll be staying at my mom's for a week to recover. So in that department I'm pretty well set. My Dr. Is Dr. Chivers. ...really awesome person, young and ready to make his name out there? he's my second choice and last. So....I'll try to be in touch with you RS friends soon. Wish me luck and little pain!

Is the pain off a c section similar to a tummy tuck
February 2, 2016
I would say yes, but do stay on top of your meds. By day 3 you'll be off them. If you are getting lipo ..the pain might be more intense. I didn't get the lipo. You'll be just fine! Good luck!

So, day 1. Surgery went well! I'm on pain killers every 4 hours . Doing pretty good. Threw up few times last night. Had a weird feeling inside my stomach. ....I thought my muscle stiches poped when I threw up. That was so scary! I text my nurse right away. ...she said that it's most likely the drains moving around. Talking about my drains ...they seem pretty good it looks like only yellow liquid is draining. Walking around a bit.

I slept pretty good last night. Taking pain killers every 6 h now. Moved one of my drains by accident and that hurt! Didn't do #2 yet but I'm eating very well, my mommy takes great care of me? I love her ? the whole family is wonderful! I'm very lucky to have my in laws taking care of my kiddies and me being at my mom's it's less stressful like that. I've been sleeping in the recliner my back is killing me. But I'm walking around which is very important. Dr. Chivers called today to check on me he's such a sweetheart he has an amazing attitude ...he's going to go far in his career! I'm bit dizzy right now just took my med.
