Tummy Tuck at Age 32 After 2 Babies - Fresno, CA

I spoke too soon. I couldn't upload pictures from my iPhone so I'll have to do it tomorrow from my laptop...

Today I had my first follow up appointment. I'm still very swollen but I have to say I felt so much better than the days before. My surgeon told me my muscles were very very stretched so he tighten them alot (hence the constant muscle soreness). He also said I still have a lot of swelling and left my drain in until next week, when I'll see him again. I actually did a little bit of shopping after my appointment (using the eclectic carts stores have). I'm now off the Vicotin, taking only Tylenol. I would say I feel more pressure and soreness than pain but overall, I feel much better than I thought I would by now. I'm finally posting before and after pics at 5 days post op. I hope the swelling goes down son to get a better idea of what my results will be.

I can't believe it's been 4 days since I had my procedure. I do feel much better and most of the pain is now gone unless I walk around alot. I took a shower again today and finally had a BM. I still don't feel great as I have discomfort (rather than pain) on my abdomen. I started to cut back on the pain meds today, taking only one Vicotin and supplementing with Tylenol. I hope to be off the Vicodin within 48 hours. Overall, what bothers me the most is feeling so tired all the time and not being able to do anything. I can't even watch a movie because I fall a sleep 5 minutes into it (Lol)! I'll post before and after pics tomorrow.
