If you are questioning a tummy tuck have no fear....it was a really easy recovery! I have had 3 c sections, hysterectomy, gallbladder removed, breast augmentation and this was the easiest! I have had no pain in my tummy at all! It's all in my back from the Lipo! Now that part did hurt but nothing that ibuprofen couldn't help! So if you are unsure because you are scared of the recovery process....don't be! Ask your doctor for Exparel and you are good to go!

I'm praying it's the same for me. I've had 3cs,partial,ovary w/appendix and adhesion removal, bladder, and hernia repair. Hoping this will be a walk in the park. Happy healing.

5 days PO TT with MR and Lipo of flanks

syroy1982
I am now 5 days out and I can say that it has not been as bad as I thought it would be. My main area of pain is in my back and flanks....it's a stinging pain with soreness. My tummy is feeling very tight along the muscle repair and I have no pain along my incision. Everything is hard like a rock! I chose the Exparel injection and it is awesome...not sure if it's still working or not be like I said it's all numb in that area. I go tomorrow for my first PO appt and am hoping to get my drain removed. It's a pain in the rear to me! Other than that I'm getting around by myself as I have been since day two so I'm happy about that. Will post new pics when I adjust my binder later!

So glad to hear that everything went well! You reminded me of the back pain. It was really the worse part for me during that first week or so. Hang in there!

The back pAin is awful! I can't wait to see him tomorrow so he can reassure me that what I'm feeling is normal and that it all looks ok! Good luck on Friday!
