I am so much better compared to 3 weeks ago! I was able to stand up pretty straight about a week ago. The only thing I? don’t like about the drainless tummy tuck is the manual draining each week at mg doctors visit. I? think drains would’ve been so much easier. To have a six inch needle inserted into your belly each week is unnerving although it’s completely painless.
There are some hard areas on my stomach and the doctors office treats them with a heated sonic machine for about 15 minutes. My navel doesn’t seem to be healing so well to me but the doctor says it looks great. I? keep applying the Vaseline and each day some smelly crunchy deposits come out. Questionable.
I did however lift a huge box on Friday and now I’m terrified that I’ve torn my muscles st the top of my stomach. You can see a slight bulge in the upper left region under my breast. I’ll find out tomorrow if I’m fact this is the case. Nothing hurts, I’m just scared. Everything is still tight but healing well.

Surgery was Yesterday

My surgery was yesterday and it hurts! I had lipoabdominalplasty with fascia tightening. Dr. Greenberg was great and his staff was nice. The night before, sleep was foreign. The anxiety pills that were prescribed were much needed to take the edge off. The first part of the procedure was the Lipo, which was performed AWAKE! Watching the fat being sucked out in real time was awesome to see. Being awake is hard though. The entire numbing process took an hour as Dr, Greenberg injected tumescent (not sure of the spelling). This solution burned quite a bit but Dr. Greenberg said my numbing hurt more than usual because of my previous Lipo and built up scar tissue. The Lipo took 2.5 hours and began to wear off, which made the Lipo a bit painful toward the end. For the second portion of the procedure, I was not under general anesthesia, I had twilight sedation. This was less harsh on the body I was told & it cuts down on the recovery time. I had the drainless procedure and it’s gushing a lot. Im sleeping in a lazy boy recliner but i am uncomfortable! Let’s see what the days ahead bring.
