I've been posting but on a wrong board to a revision tummy tuck. I have a question. Does anyone have a numbness in the outer thigh after tummy tuck? I have numbness to my left outer thigh and it's bothering me. Does it go away in time? I'm still enjoying my sedentary lifestyle due to my drains hoping it will be taken out soon

The numbess goes away in due time. This happens after abdominal surgery.

That's reassuring. I'm at the md office for my 2nd follow up visit. Hoping my drains will be taken out

It takes a while for the body to adjust. You retained fluid after the surgery and it has to be absorbed or released. I had a hysterectomy and the same thing happened. I was always poking my legs checking for numbness.

can you let me see how the scars look like now??? Iive in San Jose, California and looking for a tummy tuck. I need one seriously. Since i gave birth to 3 kids my stomach got stretched out really badly and I look like a Vietnamese pot belly pig. Thanks.

2nd post op appointment

I'm 18 days post op and had a visit today with the MD and left drain is taken out but kept the rt one. He'll check it on thursday. I doubt it will come off because I'm still draining >25 cc/day on this drain. Pain is gone and it's easier to move but I'm still very sedentary. I get tired easily. My post op covering like a steri-strip type dressing came off today. I was told by my MD to put at least cethaphil on the area. The BB sutures were taken out today and it's looking good so far. my numbness to the left thigh remains and unchanged.
