Tummy Tuck - 36 and weigh 130lbs 5'2 and looking to first fix my muscle separation and loose skin - Jacksonville, FL

Hi Everyone! Things have been great lately, it's been 3 weeks now last drain was removed last week and I hear most people say its painful when coming out but my pain came after it was out. I've started using scarguard ( thanks for recomending) as of last week only on my navel but not tt scar my ps has me using micropore tape for 6 days straight with one day off and to apply scar cream on that day. I also have to wear a compression garment 24hrs a day for 6 weeks except while showering of course lol. I found a few but not one that is comfortable yet, anyway I have posted my 3 week pics, still swollen but that goes with it. I wish you ladies all the best!

It's been two weeks since my tt, my pain has subsided alot. I my feel sore more so than pain, I got one drain removed last week along with surgical tape. Tomorrow I should have the last one out! My swelling isn't slowing down it swells the worst down below my belly botton and is very hard to the touch I got a little worried so called my ps and she said it was normal. She also mentioned how tiny I was and felt no reason to tuck to much in that area. I know she made the right decision, but I can't help but to wonder will this be a problem for me later. I really have'nt been totally flat since the second day of surgery so I keep reminding myself how I looked before. I'm hoping to start some scar cream soon, not sure which would give best results so ladies your recomendations would be great. I will also see what my ps office is offering, but the last cream I was told about cost 95.00 not sure what the name of it is, but if there's somthing out there that cost less I would love to know about it. I will post pics once drain is removed soon.

po day 6 so far I must say I was expecting this to be a little harder than it has been. The first 3 days I think the pain pump was helping big time because I never had that 2-3day horrior that most ladies talk about and I've been keeping up on meds and I think I could possibly come off but I'm scared if I go to long the pain will just kick me in the face. Hubby has been taking good care of all 5 of our kids and has allowed me to focus on recovery so this has helped as well. I have found out very quickly that snezzing, coughing, laughing are out of the question! Oh and can someone tell me why my MIL told me the day before surgery of a friend who died after her surgery but it was in no relation to what I was having! So you can imagine how my emotions where before I went under. Anyway I just had a moment sorry. OK I have posted pics and I'm a little swollen and not all of my stretch marks were'nt removed but she did tell me that would happen but its ok.My first post-op appt is 6/20 so i'll update than, oh yeah drains are definitely in my way! Happy healing everyone!
