2 weeks post op
WORTH IT$7,898
I had my 2 week post op appointment this morning and I am so happy!! On po day 9 I had my one drain removed. Today I had my belly button stitches removed. Neither one hurt at all!!! I start my scar therapy next Monday and I'm kinda nervous about that. I have to take the tape off and rub the scar treatment on it, hope it's not sensitive. I have another week off from work but I'm ready for it. I could have gone back yesterday, but I get to spend another week with my babies:)
Happy healing everyone!!!

1 week post op and loving it!!!
Today I am one week post op and I feel great! I had my one week checkup today but my drain didn't get pulled:( I'm daring 28 cc a day and I have to get below 20. I go back on Wednesday so hopefully then! I'm feeling really good other than a rash I developed from my antibiotic. I started meds today for it so hopefully they kick in soon cause it itches!!! Not much change from op day 5 but I love my results so far. My pain level so far has not gotten over a 4. Hopefully I stay on this recovery path! Lol

I am just a few days behind you! What pain meds do you have? Did you have lipo? I feel my pain is like an 8.

Congrats!! I had Percocet which I had never taken before, and it worked very good! I made sure to take it every 4 hours. The only lipo I had was my abdomen so maybe that's why My pain isn't too bad. I hope you feel better soon!!

Thanks! A fdl tummy tuck is where they cut you vertical and horizontal, almost like an upside down T.

2 days po and feeling pretty good:)
Well Monday was my day...they were running behind at the hospital so my surgery didn't start until 1:30. Once they gave me the sedative I was out and don't remember anything until Tuesday morning at 6! So far my pain hasn't been bad. The nurse told me I have a sensitivity to the pain medicines because everything they give me knocks me out lol I can definitely tell I'm swollen but still so happy with my results so far:)
