So Nervous - Tummy Tuck with Hernia Repairs

UPDATED FROM WV_Girl
17 days post

2 Weeks Since my Hernia Repair and TT

WORTH IT$9,001
I'm standing up almost straight. I had a bunch of bleeding from my drainage opening. I was able to call the doctor and the office was great. They were once again compassionate and reassuring. I was even able to email them photos to check the blood color.
I am worried about loving my new body and I'm nervous about healing. I am trying to be calm about it but it seems like every time healing happens new reasons to be nervous also happens.

Hey. You are looking amazing. Can I just say your reviews have helped me the most. With actual photos 3 days after and bits still with a drain - I feel more prepared now.
I'm booked in on Thursday - 4 days time and I'm having such a panic now as I haven't really thought about the recovery too much. Lol. I hope your well x
how have You healed? are you glad that you used Dr Faltous?

3 Days Post Op Hernia Repair and TT

So far so good. I have been in much less pain than I was expecting. I can normally go 1 hour to 2 hours past the due time. The drains are still weird but I try to view them as a step.towards healing. Oh lord, I get these stabbing electric pains on my left side. I literally call out in pain. I'm going to call my doctor's office on Monday to make sure it's nothing to worry about.Walking around actually makes me feel better. I can't walk far without my back and butt cramping. 
My husband commented that even with my wrap and swelling he can see a huge difference in my "hour glass shape". Makes me excited to see everything when I'm healed up.

Looks really good!
Thanks! I love my new belly button and can't wait to see everything else
Glad all went well...you are going to have major hottness going on now...looks great! I also had hernias to have repaired! So glad all is done and I went this route so I can enjoy the bonus of a better looking tummy!
Thank you!!!! How long ago did you have yours done? It makes me feel better when others let me know their hernias repairs are great and they love their belly :-)
2 weeks...and I can tell the difference already in the feel of the hernias...go read my story girl! Also....we must live close...I had Dr miller of Huntington do mine
You look great, I was told I had a hernia, and I know I want a tummy tuck, just didn't know I can get both done at the same time, thanks for sharing that.

Surgery is Complete

Had my hernia repairs and tummy tuck yesterday. I was in there about 6 hours. I was so nervous beforehand that I even wrote good letters to my kids and prayed constantly.
I'm still on pain pills and in and out of it. When I was hooked up to my pump I couldn't even stay awake. I'm in a pretty good bit of pain but not like I thought I would.
I have 2 recommendations for the hospital. Bring your own nice soft toilet paoer. This has been such a nice comfort. And 2 bring a pillow from home and save the hospitals thick ones for under your legs and the thin ones for supporting the belly.
Now that the fear is over and I know that my hernias are repaired, I'm excited to see the results and can't wait to see the belly button.

I just had lipo on back, flanks, and tummy tuck on Wednesday. The pain that I'm feeling is like a constant soreness..as if I had worked out too hard. Is that what yours feels like too?
No,I have more of random shots of pain. But like you, I have a few spots of soreness that is like an ache
