So here I am!! Post op Day 2....haven't posted...
WORTH IT$4,900
So here I am!! Post op Day 2....haven't posted any pictures yet because I can't open my binder and won't get my bandages changed until Monday but wow, pain is crazy, tolerable but just strange feelings!!! My drainage hasn't been too crazy so I am hoping I can get it out by Monday!!! That would be awesome......It still didn't feel real for me until they had me on the operating table, then I woke up and was like holy [RS bleep] it's done, it really happened!! Now I just can't wait to see it!!!
Funny story, when my husband was in the waiting room he was there with another woman's husband and they were both getting instructions and the guy just turned white, slammed his face on the counter and hit the floor with the back of his head, knocking himself out and cutting the back of his head and was laying in a pool of blood!!!! So of course my husband to the rescue, the receptionists were all freaked out, my surgeon had to stop in the middle of stitching me up to help the guy, he ended up leaving in an ambulance and his poor wife was in recovery and had to make all these phone calls for someone to pick her up!! CRAZY!! They said that had NEVER happened before!!

Thanks, me too =)....Well it was supposed to be at 2:15, but I think they were running a bit behind, I got there at 12:30.....Dr. Mabourakh had to stop in the middle of my surgery because a man in the waiting room with my husband waiting for his wife fainted listing to instructions with my husband and he hit is head on the ground in the front office and was passed out in blood, they had to call 911 and he was taken away in an ambulance, CRAZY LOL, hope Dr. Mabourakh didn't mess up when he got back to me!! I don't think he did!!!

I'm sure everything is fine! You will be so excited to see your results on Monday! I might see you in there! I may go in to have him look at a suture that has "popped" which I guess is "normal"/okay at this point in my recovery....but I would still feel more comfortable if he took a look at how things are going.

That's great - we both have post op on Monday! I feel really good, I didn't have any nausea at all! I am staying ahead of my pain (percacet every 6 hrs), walking around every hour and using frozen peas every 20 min. I have a split drain, so two tubes into one bulb and the most it's filled up was over night @25cc. Not sure what's normal for drainage?? I am hungry too but am afraid of being super backed up and constipated ... I want to take senekot but I dont know when to take it! Are you having any burning feeling where your incision is? Also feel a bit stiff ... Now I'm babbling lol - stay in touch, can't wait to see your pics too :).

I have been keeping up on my meds and was super constipated too....I'll tell you what I was terrified of having to take an ex lax so I was taking my colace and eating lots of fruits and veggies and i ended up drinking almost a half gallon of prune juice.....it worked, tmi, but totally cleaned me out lol!!! My drain is about 25cc too, hasn't gotten any higher than that, and you have two so that sounds awesome to me!! As far as a laxative my PS said if by the 2nd day no bowel movement then to take it that night.......YES I do get a burning sensation and feel stiff and bloated at times, I think it might be the swelling? I can't remember did you get lipo? I can't wait to see your pics too, tomorrow!!!!!! =)

So here I am probably for the last time "uncut", spent the day cleaning and running last minute errands, got a comfy robe and bra to wear......I will take pictures asap, so many of the "just after surgery" pics look so painful, but then later comes and the results are awesome, can't I just skip to the awesome part? ;)haha NO, no pain no gain!! I can't believe the time has arrived already, it just always seemed like something that was talked about, researched yadda yadda, but now comes time for it to be real ahhhhhhhhh!!!

If he's very experienced than you should get lipo too! It will give you an even greater result....it will really give you an even smaller waist than you have already! I say go for it! I'm also getting lipo and a tummy tuck in 6 days!

Congrats to you!! Yeah, I was looking at his pictures and talked to some other girls that got lipo from him and it looks good, no lumps! He has been doing this for 28years and has awesome reviews and is kinda a small practice, board certified and all that.....I think he wants to contour the upper abs into the lower part that is getting tucked and I figured I should listen to him, he knows A LOT more than I do, plus I went in thinking a full TT and he told me that he thought a mini with lipo would be best!! Good luck to you, my big day is tomorrow and it still doesn't quit feel real, I bet it will after I get out of there and all the pain hits me ha!!!!

i would not go with lip, have you seen what happened to Tara Ried...she had a nice body to start with and ruined it with lipo..lipo is not a good way to lose fat cells, besides if you have them sucked out they will come back in other areas of your body that you dont want, like your back or muffin top or under arms

i really dont think you need anything done, so many women wouldlove to look like you as is and strive tolook like that, your body i mean..but i wish you luck :)
