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