I was motivated initially to only undergo liposuction and was told that I would require a tummy tuck due to the potential for loose skin. Since this is only day 2 for the tummy tuck I have no clue and I am in some discomfort and I am unable to see what is going on under the binder. I am also concerned about the liposuction because there appears to be no change and I wasn't even advised to wear a compression garment. I was sent home with only a binder for my tummy tuck and gaze and tape over the liposuction areas. The surgeon had already left for the day which surprised me and there was no discussion. There were two ladies whom I had never met I am thinking they could have been nurses but the did not introduce themselves and only seemed in a rush to get me out of the office. I am not sure I have done the right thing and from their responses and behavior, I am certain that this was probably not the place to have gone. This is only day two, however.

So the NP and the MD did call today and address some of my concerns. It is still up in the air as to my overall results, however. I have been up moving around more and my discomfort seems to be getting better with time

Hi,
I had surgery with Dr. W 3 months ago. I also felt rushed after surgery and I had issues getting my paperwork completed correctly for my leave. At this point though, it was def all worth it for me. I am very pleased with my results so just be patient with your recovery. My lipo areas stayed swollen/bruised for a while, so it took a while to see the results.
I hope you have an easy recovery, and keep us posted on your results!!

Thanks a lot. I went back for my first follow up today. I am still swollen, but to me my navel looks super weird. I hope this is just. a short term issue also.

Navel looks weird to me, but I am going to hope that because it is only one week that I am still healing. I am still walking bent at the waist and if I walk or stand for longer than my body is able to tolerate, my back starts to hurt really bad.
