Done with Abdominoplasty and Bilateral Brachioplasty - Singapore

Hi. I'm a guy aged 24'from Singapore. I'm 6'1 and used to weigh about 332 pounds. I'm current 193 pounds, lost around 139 pounds over the past 3 years. I was glad to see i am losing so much weight with proper dieting and exercising which means I am becoming a healthier and more confident person however at the same time i realize at my tummy area it has left me a very ugly and unappealing thick saggy skin as well as at my under arm and inner tighs. After much consideration and having my parent's support, I have decided to go for this operation although I am so fear of the post op's tough time but I believe after the tough time there will be a rainbow awaiting for me.

I'm done with my operation on 5/8/13. It lasted 6 hours. And right now it's my 2nd day after the operation. I still haven't got down the bed and I'm still on drains. It's pretty inconvenient since I'm having 2 on my arms and 2 on my tummy. I hope this will be over real soon. I am very looking forward to be back to my normal life and of course to see the final result of my tummy and arm.

Lying on the hospital bed for the whole entire day... Feeling drowsy and scared... Can't and afraid of moving much due to inexperienced on handling the 4 tubes on my body. Most Part of the body are still having numbness guess the GA hasn't subside. Had dressing in the tummy changed.. The feeling it's kind of creepy and disgusting but it wasn't that bad after all.. What I can say is bearable :) I begin to miss my normal life like running and gyming with my friends and started thinking was it a wrong choice to have begin with the surgery in the first place however all these thoughts vanished whenever I kept myself reminded that I will be able to fit in clothes nicely in the future. Achieving a nicer body will be do- able without the loose saggy skin. More motivation to hit the gym as goals are foreseeable and reachable unlike before the surgery. Personally I think that having a more positive thoughts would be Important as it will keep you hanging on and bite through the tough days easier. Lastly I am so so so glad that my best friend came with flowers and fruits, was very delighted and feeling so much better.

The moment I woke up, I felt my appetite was back. I am able to finish my entire breakfast and feeling abit better than yesterday. Was alone in the ward for the entire day. Still bed ridden wasn't moving yet as I fear that I might tear any of my stitches on the tummy and arms. Back feeling super ache yet not able to move to ease the ache was pretty sucky and annoying. Just the moment to feel the lowest of my day, my nurse came telling me that I am able to remove my drains on my arms, It feels great to hear that but at the same time the creepy sensation came across my mind too. My nurse was very patient and caring Throughout the process of removing the drains and changing the dressing on my arms, it definitely minimize as much pain as it could be. After slight mental and physical struggle finally everything was done and I really felt more relaxed with my arms being able to move about. 2 Drains down and 2 more to go!! :)
