Update on drainless tummy tuck

I won't be getting a Ba after all . But I will be getting lipo & TT . I have my first consult coming up soon . Im excited to lose this stomach & look down and see my feet instead of my stomach .ugh .!!! I'm 58 yr. young minded and all I can think of is mentally prepared for this surgery . I'm nervous .my husband will not support my decision what's so ever & only have daughter to help
With recovery . I just keep thinking of the rewards so I am
Willing to deal with the pain . I hope I'm not a big baby . I usually have a high pain tolerance but I read on this site how some have lot of pain & others not so much . I will update as my journey progresses & post pics .

I’m 17 days post op . Loving my results . I chose Dr. Ahmandi in sugar land . Because of his reviews & his eye for perfection . He’s very skilled & professional . I would highly recommend him . And his nurse Kat is so sweet , she checked on me after hours when I was having some issues . My drive is 2 hours away so I had I stay at hotel for 2 days& DR . Gave me a 3 day script of Ativan to help me relax & sleep the days prior to surgery . Which I think is the only way I would have even gotten thru this . I had a panic attack one week before @ 3:00 am , I was so scared . Thinking of canceling ! I hate surgery . Lol .. So fast forward to my story . I stopped pain meds on day 3 because I didn’t like the way they made me feel . The first week is miserable , I had Killer Heart burn & acid the absolute worst in my life !! Suffered with 3 days of it till Doc said I could take a OTC acid reducer . Tums did not touch it ! I kept getting a dry tickle in my throat and coughing . NOT recommended . Swelled legs & ankles really uncomfortable lasted 10 days . This was a drainless procedure so I leaked fluid for 10 days . That’s a nasty feeling . Glad when that was over . I rented elect . Lift chair that was a life saver . Which I slept in for 2 weeks (Highly recommend renting one ). I’m now laying flat in bed & can lay on my side now. I’m still
Stretching my stomach out and still
Swollen . My belly button is looking closed up due to the swelling . Which I will be calling my ps to ask about that .I paid extra to get my inner thighs lipo . My bra rolls are still swollen so I’m only seeing a little bit of results on that area . He took 11.4 pounds of fat & 7.7 pounds of skin off of my stomach . Ugh !!! I was a size16 , 188 lbs . I think I will be a size 12 or 10 when all the swelling goes down . I’m looking forward to swim suit season & wearing a bikini . I feel like I’ve suffered for this belly so I’m gonna show it off . . I’ll update more later . Xo xo
