Tummy Tuck Scheduled for April 5th

I have now added some before photos. I am 5'5 and 142lbs. I have 2 weeks until my surgery! I am so excited but also nervous!! I have my pre op appointment on the 30th and my Surgery on April 5th. I feel like I have chosen a good PS and just hope that everything goes smoothly.

Does anyone recomend anything to use on the TT scar? I bought some mederma but didn't know if the strips would work better or maybe something else.

Well I finally got my TT!!!!

After reading many stories on here I thought the pain was going to be much worst. When I woke up from surgery I was in a lot of pain so they gave me morphene, but afer leaving the hospital it hasn't been so bad, I just take my pain meds when I get uncomfortable. I also take an antibiotic 4 times a day and meds for nausea meds when needed. After taking a nap or sitting down too long my back starts hurting. When I walk around it helps alot and I also got some pain relieving lotion from walmart called Aspercreme, and it works great. I use it on my back and neck.

My mouth was extremely dry after surgery and the next day. So the best things to have is bottled water, fruit, popsicles, and salads. I brought almonds, special K granola and crackers but I couldn't eat it because it made my mouth even more dry.

I am very swollen, but I think the compression garment is helping a lot. My Dr. told me which one to order and I love it, fits great! Although it was a bit pricy, over $100. It's hard to tell if I am complety happy with the results or not because I am so swollen, but I think the turnout will be good.

I will be posting post op pictures tommorrow! :)

I added some Post op pics just to kinda show how my recovery is going. I am still very swollen and can't stand up completely straight but it is getting better. I am just ready to be active again but I know this will take time.
