So my tummy tuck incision looks perfect, my lefty looks pretty good, righty...eh not so great. My incision has begun to separate and open up. Scary!! I have an appointment tomorrow and I started antibiotics this evening. For me to call and ask for antibiotics is huge. I am usually against using antibiotics so asking for them is huge and it means I'm worried about my boob.

Also I have some pain under my boob on my ribs.

I still have some lumpiness on my lipo areas. All in all I feel really good and I got my mojo back.

Hi Kriswill, Is the incision of concern where the horizontal and vertical meet?

Yes. Wow sorry I haven't been on here in sooo long. My right boob eventually closed up, it took some staples to keep it closed and a lot of tlc to get it to heal. Took around 6 weeks. The scar is wide but eh, whatever. No one sees it except my husband. :)

Woohoo I am back home and in my recliner for the duration. My husband is so awesome that he is paying my best friend to take a week off of work and come help me/ hang out. All the details were worked out before I even woke up from the anesthesia!

This morning didn't start out good I woke up with a throbbing headache, freezing with a 102.5 fever and MY PERIOD!!! What the hell?! The rn didn't wake me up for my midnight dose of meds so everything wore off and my body freaked out! By 1030 I felt much better.

The first thing I did when I got home was strip off everything and admire my new body. It's all smoothed out and I just so happy. I feel like this has been a dream and I will wake up saggy lumpy and blah.(could also be the pain meds)
Can't wait until I don't have melons under my chin lol

The nurse did. And since it was contained there wasn't much else done. This is why I'm happy I was in a facility. And the girls there are great!!

It's night 3 with my new body. In the morning I get to go home. I get my pain pump removed before I leave the facility. Then it's off to my house to spend time with my hubby until we go get our babies. I miss them so much. I can't wait to cuddle my 5 month old.

Today was a great day, the nurses and cnas told me that I am the best post surgery patient they've had. I got up every2 hours and walked the halls, sat outside for a bit and kept moving. I love the staff at this facility (kindred in st George Utah!) they were having a staff potluck and one of the nurses brought me a plate!! Super nice and the food was tasty. I'm moving around just fine and the staff keeps telling me that I've been the best post op patient they have had. Makes me feel good. I can't wait to get home, get this binder off and shower. I want to see how much my full body has changed. As soon as I see the healed results I will do a full physician review,ss,x
