Surgery went great - took about an hour and a half. Started by laying on my stomach and doing the love handles on my back and sides, then flipped me over and did the abdomen / lower abdomen. I was numbed for the most part but there were some uncomfortable moments where I found myself clenching my teeth a bit.

Dr Heck and his nurse were great, but there was an additional assistant in there as well towards the end, she was blonde and I don't recall her name. But she was literally AMAZING, so sweet, stayed with me while I sat up, helped me get changed, she was just so kind and personable and I want to get ahold of her to tell her this.

So far the only "drainage" has been from my lower back and that's probably due to the fact that I'm sitting up / laying on those areas rather than my sides and stomach.

The only real pain I have is actually getting up and out of bed, the binder sits on the swollen part around my hips and that's primarily where the bruising is. It usually goes away in 5-10 minutes. Standing feels great but there is a little bit of discomfort while walking.

Tomorrow I will get my self together and take a shower and then I will post some pictures.

So here are my post op pictures so far - very with the results and can't wait for swelling to go down!

Most of the bruising it at the bottom and on the sides - where it happens to hurt the most.

Can you spot the incisions? So glad they're so small.

@tummyforme It was not horrible - but definitely didn't like getting in and out of bed, moving like that was aggravating. And I wasn't able to sleep on my sides or stomach for like a week and a half.
