Today makes me 3 days post op of my surgery tummy tuck & lipo of the flanks & I must admit it was very intense but nothing you can't handle! I have been stuck to my recliner so I'd figure I'd share my progress etc. I had a onQ pain pump that was removed today & my drains are still in hopefully to be removed Wed or Friday I already love me so YES its well worth it!!!!!!!!

6 days post op
Today makes me 6 days post op & I'm still taking my pain meds my doctor told me to buy ibuprofen & add that in within the hours with my other meds so my body can get use to taking it to get me off the pain killers & only taking the ibuprofen when needed my thing is I haven't took the time to stop or go without my pain meds because they say make sure u take your meds on the hour so there's no pain now I don't know if I'm still in pain or not because I haven't went without my meds to know??? Yeah so now I'm nervous to stop taking my pain meds and be hurting! So this morning I'm going to skip my 8:30 meds & see what I feel like without them because honestly I may not need them but then again I might I'm just nervous to be in PAIN!!!! Any suggestions??? Helpful tips???

How long until you can start treating your scar??? Like putting scar gel on it massaging it etc? I'm 9 days post op still have to wait until my strips start to come off but other than that my scar seems to be healing pretty well!!

Congrats on your surgery! I'm 12 weeks post op TT - I started massaging my scar with organic coconut oil around 3 weeks postop. I removed my own tape in the shower and replaced it with KT tape after I massaged my scars.
