Tummy Tuck! I Finally Did It!! - Foster City, CA

I had my tummy tuck today with Dr. Joel B. Beck and everything went really well! I am nice and comfortable in my recovery room and the best part I didn't need drains!! I am 5'3"/152 lbs and had an extended tummy tuck. I will post pics as soon as I get the opportunity. I did get farely nauseous but that was quickly fixed with medication which the nurses are on top of. I also got to walk around and it felt sooo good after sitting in bed most of the day, in fact I can't wait to get up and walk around some more. I am so so happy with the incision it is really low and just perfect. The Dr. Said I was barely bleeding, most likely because I drank so much fluids all day yesterday. The pain medication has been working great but without it I will not be coughing anytime soon because it HURTS lol. I know it is only day 1 but as of now I am very happy with the results!! My tummy is sooo flat and my belly button is perfect! I can't wait until I get to wear some cute pants , shirts and a bikini on the lake!! I will post more updates throughout my recovery ????

I am feeling more swollen today than I was yesterday and I can't feel the skin on my tummy which feels so weird. I have walked around 3 different times and it was harder the third time because the meds were wearing off however walking helps me significantly with my breathing and my legs. I am not used to sitting in bed all day long so I am enjoying my little walks even though I am hunched over. I cannot wait for the sweeping to go down and start feeling normal!
