Ok so I've arrived on the flat side, I'm home resting and takeing my pain pills around the clock. I'm so swollen that I can't see how flat I most likely am. He took 5.5 lbs of skin and 1 pound of fat . My incision looks really good, and I have 1 drain. Today I am going to take a shower... I am looking forward to that! I'm walking around ok, still no bowel movement. I'm drinking Mirolax in my water so hopefully I'll have one soon!

So tomorrow is my surgery for my TT with MR and liposuction of the flanks. I'm so excited but the fear of the recovery is more in the forefront of my thoughts. I will post pictures of before and after surgery once my procedure is done. See you on the flat side... I still can't believe this is happening!

I'm 10 days post op for my TT, MR, and lipo of flanks. I'm excited but extremely nervous as well. I will post pictures the day of my surgery with my markings! I've been thinking about getting this done for about 5 years and I know the results will override the pain I'm going to feel. Anything you guys think I need to know please let me know!

If you have a high bed buy a small step stool to get in and out. I slept 4 days in a chair before i gave it a try. I was so uncomfortable in my chair i couldnt sleep. Finally out of desperation to sleep i took the chance and tried my bed on my own with the stool. I found it easier than all the times i was getting out of the chair! I was finally able to sleep. I would arrange my pillows in a way to make it easier to get one under my knees before climbing in. I also have a headboard with finials on the end that gave me something to grab on to making it easy.
I had very little help to no help after my 1st day. Lucky for me my arms and legs were pretty strong from prior workouts! Start practicing squats now to sit on the toilet. I was really worried and thought sbout buying a toilet seat riser but after reading another post from this site i did what she said snd found the riser not necessary!
If you already have help lined up you're golden!
I also purchased a shower chair for my shower which helped a lot. I had my dsughter who is in high school remove the removable shower head and place it on the seat for me. Shes been a help but ive tried to be as independent as possible especially since my first week of recovery was homecoming week for her and she was so busy. I had wonderful parents driving her home for me which I'm very grateful to!
Stay positive......!

How did everything go? I'm in the process of scheduling a TT with Dr. B (diastasis recti after having 2 c/s), and I'm so nervous about making the right choice.
