27 Yrs Old 2 Kids. Dominican Republic, DO

I got home yesterday 10 days post op I will tell you that I was petrified that my incision was going to open. Thank god that didn't happen I was a bit uncomfortable because for the past 2 days I can say the anesthesia has COMPLETELY worn off. I can now feel my incision feels like a big cut not that bad tho I can tolerate it. I got my first massage here in NY and I have to say it was the best hour wait of my life. Being that our massage therapist was a guy and now she's a women lord what a difference. As for sleeping thank god I've managed to get rest and not wake up every 2 hours like I used to do in DR. I plumped my pillows to kinda have myself in a sitting position and one pillow under my legs. I'm finally almost seeing that light at the end of the tunnel! I will say this has not been the easiest journey and I can honestly say thank god for not having any complications which I'm sure those who do have last more time in agony and pain. There are desperate moments expenses tiredness but I feel that in a month I will forget all this has happened. We saw a case where it was day 25 for a women and she looked miserable one of her stitched became infected so she had to have numerous visit with dra Duran at day 21 she was bent forward a lot! And looked like she was in pain. Dra Duran is an amazing doctor and with title it becomes overwhelming. I thanked her so much for my life forget the body my life!

So today I went back for my follow up ladies you will wait for more than an hour so go with patience and have this is your mind. Her assistant removed my drains the doctor checked me said everything looks great gave me the ok to fly. She assured me that my wound wouldn't open (my biggest fear) boy I will say this this journey is definitely not a walk in the park I will say because of the tummy tuck because girls with just lipo look stronger. Day 6 was when we really felt better no longer dizzy or nauseous. We had more energy after day 6. But the swelling hurts when they have to lay you down on that bed for the first time (we sleep in a sitting position) lorddddd that was rough the worse part of today was putting on that stage 2 faja it felt like an eternity she struggled so much I have fat legs lol the massages today were almost unbearable but thank the lord that we are getting them because we both have a lot or fluid in the back Duran had to drain my cousin with a syringe due to the accumulation not painful but having that in your back is the fluid you feel your back heavy and hot I love my stage 2 faja the brand is fajate and it fits perfectly

A surg sis bought her compression socks on Amazon for $9 Duran charges $35 also bought flip flops from old navy.com at that time for $2.50 ! That's all I've been using.
