Drainless Tummy Tuck with Muscle Repair

This Friday, I’m heading in for my second surgery with Dr. Peterson. I had my BL/BA 5 months ago and I’m finally completing my mommy makeover. I was so pleased with my BL results, I’m hoping to have the same positive experience again.
I’m a 42 year old mother of 2, 5’3”, 142lbs. I gained 65 lbs in my first pregnancy and 45 in my second. I gained and lost weight so many times, I can’t keep track anymore. I’ve always maintained regular exercise and have been a life long runner and workout regularly. But I’ve been within a 10 lbs range for the last 3 years and am ready to have my poof and excess skin gone. I’ve been waiting over 10 years now. I’m so excited.

So 2 days until surgery and I’m finally getting excited and nervous. I’m really hoping everything will go smoothly as the last time I developed an infection with my BL/BA and it knocked me on my butt for 2 weeks. Anyway, posting bikini pics. Really regretted not documenting my other surgery so I’m adding lots of photos for this one.

Had my TT yesterday and it went super! PS didn’t have to put any drains in so I’m free from that encumbrance, thank god! The compression garment isn’t too bulky and I’ve got my pain under control. I’m just feeling super sore at the incision but no acute pain. I’m taking tramocet every 4 hours and an ibuprofen suppository (yes, up the bum) every 12 hours until tonight. I can barely get myself out of the prone position but making my arms into triangle is my new way to scooch and get myself up. I do have a hand rail on my bed when I finally get home, but currently I’m holed up in a hotel until tomorrow as my PS is 300km away from me. I don’t take the CG off until Tuesday or Wednesday and I’ll post photos then.
