ok so its been 11 days post op and I'm not sure if i got what i wanted. :( yes my saggy skin is gone but so is my butt. my dr said that he didn't have time to do a fat transfer along with my lift because I didn't have enough available fat in the areas he planned on doing lipo on. I know it is still early and the swelling has just started to subside. I still have drains in,which will be removed this tuesday almost 14 days p.o. But looking in the mirror I am really sad about my flat ass. Since I sucked at updating this after my procedure I wanted to give a little insight to how everything went post op.
Day one was the worst which I knew it would be. I left the surgery center with 2 bulb drains one on each side and 2 "matchstick" drains on my left side because I was releasing or retaining more fluid there after my procedure. The match stick drains showed me the importance of puppy pads and maxi pads which I didn't have until day 2 after I had almost soaked my bed with bloody drainage ( gross i know). Getting in and out of bed was a true chore and even though I have upper body strength I was still in need of assistance. I managed to walk around on my own however very hunched over and this got easier each day. After reading countless reviews and researching I can agree that the sooner you can get up and make a lap around the kitchen or to the bathroom the better your healing will be. It takes time and will tire you to walk and move but trust me your body and mind need the movement,your bed will start to feel like a prison at some point. The combination of painkillers and antibiotics made me constipated but since my appetite was reduced from what it was pre surgery I hadn't been ingesting my normal amount. I did seek the help of mineral oil after day 3 and that got things going. Pain was manageable but since my incision is 360 it took a few nights of horrible sleep to find a comfortable position for me ( Im a true stomach sleeper). Body pillows are definitely a must for post op rest and lots of them help to cushion your body after the trauma of surgery. I am now sleeping regularly and driving myself and becoming more and more self sufficient each day and this will only get better after my drains are removed. I totally didn't realize that my pics never uploaded when I wrote my first review so here is where I was and where I am now. I miss my abs but I know they will be back when the swelling dies down. Thanks to everyone for the kind words and messages. I will update this after I get the drains out and take more pics.
