First of all, thank you all for the well wishes...you are all great :) now today is 3 days after my surgery and the pain has been very manageable. I have an amazing hubby that has been waiting on me hand and foot and great friends that have helped me and supported me greatly. The first day the greatest pain for me was the tightning of the muscles than the incision itself....oh yeah, and those irritating drains (can't wait for them to come out)! I stay on my med schedule so it has been very easy and as I mentioned earlier I have alot of help which is also great. I am loving what I see so far my doctor took about 95% of the strech marks and I don't have much bruising from the lipo..I do however have ALOT of swelling but not as much as others I've seen. I am taking all the multi-vitamins that my ps suggested and eating alot of pineapple. The most exciting thing is that regardless of the swelling I have lost 7 pounds...YAY!!! so I can't wait for the final results. Once again thank you all for your well wishes. Pictures coming SOON!!

Hello ladies well today is 1 day after my TT and I am feeling great, the pain isn't as bad as some had described but it's very uncomfortable. Having had 3 previous c-secs I feel pretty much confident on doing things on my own. My tummy looks very nice so far and so does my new belly button. Thank you all for your well wishes and I will post pics as soon as I get all the bandages off.

I strongly recommend a recliner, a ton of pillows, and Jello, since thats all I ate the first 2 days! Good luck!

Tomorrow's your big day. I've heard lots of other women say: good compression garments a necessity, a recliner for sleeping in or many pillows to make yourself comfortable, and most importantly, help with your three children until you've healed. Keep us updated!

Good luck! Keep us posted and try to share some pictures :) When I see other women share their pre and post-op pictures, I fin it very encouraging. I will definately post both once my surgery has been performed.

the worst pain for me wasn't the incision itself but the tightness of the muscles...especially the day of surgery. Since I had mine done first thing in the morning I got to feel it all day but after that the pain is manageable, one thing though make sure that you are punctual with your meds!
You're on the other side of your tummy tuck! Hooray. Thanks SO much for keeping us up to date (we wonder about each other you know). : )
