I had to be at the doctor office at 7 AM and I got home around 2:30 PM. I didn't have that much pain. I was full of energy which surprised me a lot! The only that really hurt was my drain tubes where they are coming out. The walker is a big help going to the bathroom! I went bed at 1 AM and slept until 8:30 AM.

Day 4
I finally had a BM this morning I was kinda worried about it so I was happy when I got up and had to go. I had a post op appointment at 9:45 AM I had no clue what to wear so I just wore an grandma robe with flowers and that was about it. Getting on the table did hurt a little but that was about it. The nurse cleaned my dressings and redid the tape and all. I still have my drain tubes still in until I get less then 30 in a 24 hours time period. I also got a few stitches out of my belly button today too! I also have 2 blisters to form due to the binder. Yuck! I am getting around pretty good just tired a lot.

Just take it easy for a couple weeks, it is so important not to over due things, no matter how good you feel. From what it looks like you are going to love your results, I am sure you already do. Congratulations on you surgery. Have a great day!

Hey ma... I'm 2 days post op. I was expecting a lot more pain. I had a bbl a year ago on Dec 13th and now that was some crazy pain. I feel better when I am walking rather than laying in the recliner. I'm also drinking tons of water. Happy Healing love. I can't see my results just yet, I have a full garment on and lots of foam.

Welcome to the community. Â Go slow and rest for the first few days. Â The most critical time in the healing process is the first 6 weeks so go slow. Â
Bets advice for the first two weeks is medicate, hydrate, rest and good nutrition. Â Keep us up to date.
