Thursday morning, I went to the surgery center at 6:00 a.m. My doctor marked me up and I laid in the bed until the operating room was ready. My PS did revisions on my upper abdomen and a part of my lower ab that bothered me and my right flank. He also did vaser lipo on my upper and lower back. I can't wait to see the final results. I will post more pics when I can shower. I still feel tired and the pain pills knocks me out. I feel sore, but the pain is bearable. This is a walk in the park compared to the tummy tuck!

Wishing you a speedy recovery. What's the #1 piece of advice you would offer to anyone considering this procedure?

Hey, why'd you have to have a revision? Was happened?

My upper ab was not as flat as I wanted it to be. He did not remove enough fat during the tt, so he had to go back and lipo more out at no charge.

All went well during my follow up appointment. He removed the bandages from my back. I have to wear my compression garment for another two weeks. I will see him again in two weeks. I feel great. I hardly have to take any pain medicine. I still feel a little discomfort when I move a certain way and if I sit for too long. Other than that, I feel good. The strangest thing happened last night. I have been eating clean since my surgery, but last night, I decided to pig out on a steak and shrimp dinner and was sick as a dog afterwards. I think I need to stay away from that. Here is a pic of me when i took my first shower.

Feeling Great!

I feel like my old self and I can pretty much get into my old activities as normal. I had a lymphatic drainage massage last Saturday and it felt good. My PS told me to take a cup and roll it over my stomach to prevent it from feeling lumpy. He said that it may result from swollen blood vessels and such. I plan to do that, but I enjoy the massage better. I am planning to get one a week for six weeks. Well, it is time to hit the gym!
