I have waited for this procedure for 10 years and it has finally come.. i am 3 days post op and everyday brings different experiences. Day one post op wasn't too bad, day 2 was a bit harder. Dizziness could hardly keep my eyes open. Day 3 I was able to get more sleep last night. i think I am almost ready to cut off the pain pills.

How are you doing? I would love to see some postop pics. Keep us updated. Happy healing!
December 3, 2016
I will post pics as soon as i get some. I haven't been able to really take any yet. Doc won't take them
At post op appt and I haven't dared to unwrap yet while I am home. So hopefully when the drains come out next week I will be in a little less pain and will feel a little more comfortable.

I am still very swollen so it is very frustrating to not see any of the changes. The only thing I am guarenteed at this point is that my c-section pouches are definitely gone. But as for flatness and figure I don't know yet. Breasts are still forming. I guess my body is one that didn't handle the stress well and is very swollen..

Doing pretty good but OMG I have had a tickle in my throat that has made me cough all day and I am so affraid my belly button is going to seperate. They took the stitches out from it yesterday and of course when I cough it hurts the most there. Other than that I have veen walking more around the house. My one drain hardly collected any fluid so looks like my shower is coming either Tuesday or Wednesday. I can not wait!!! Boobs are a little more itchy today.. just means they are healing.. Better pics to come as soon as I can get upstairs to my bathroom..

I had my MM on Monday. My belly is super tight. Like a vacuum... do u have the same feeling? I still have drains in and they are draining, not a lot but some.
December 4, 2016
I do have that pulling feeling. The tightness of it comes and goes. Sometimes I can walk fully erect and later in the day I can't straighten all the way up. And my stomach will be pulling really tight. I am hopeful that my 2nd and 3rd drain will come out monday and Tuesday. I don't think they will both come out tomorrow. I am at about 18 of drainage in one and 10 in the other drain. Hopefully tonight it will be about the same. Today i have had pains in my under boobs area. Pulling under both of them. But I did walk a bit more today.

Thanks for the update.
I do much better today. I had to use an Enema last night and it helped immediately to make bowel movement. My belly is so tight all day I can't walk straigh but I can sit straight. My boobs are very tight as well. I have 4 drains in
One has nothing coming out in the past two days other three is less and less so probably be removed Tuesday at my appointment. Have you just done a lift? I had a reduction and lift on my boobs and I already love them.
I also have caugh that is awful
I stopped all pain killers last night and I am doing fine :-)
December 5, 2016
Yes I had a full
TT and a lift with 300cc silicone augmentation. I have tried to stop pain killers and move on to motrin but the PS said not yet. Motrin will be bad for me right now. So i use the pain pills only to sleep at this point. Glad you are doing well. Keep me posted and I'll keep updating as well.

Hi
I just stoped the pain killer no motrin or tylenol. I started to caugh last night and it is the worst feeling ever. Make sure you don't catch a cold!!!

I did a regimen of vitamin D, emerganC and zinc when I started to feel something coming on. Turned out to be sinus's due to the weather change. My tummy has started to heal more on the i side so I don't feel like I am dying when I cough anymore but it is funny how my body tries to stop itself from coughing right now. It remembers the pain from before. Maybe that is more my head trying to prevent it. Lol.. glad your feeling better. I couldn't find your profile to see your updates and any pics of your recovery.
December 7, 2016
I have not started a profile , I will try to post pictures later. I did not take any since the surgery, I am so nervous about posting them.

The coughing is the worst, isn't it?! I sneezed a few days ago...I wished for death. I would have rather died! Lol!! But it only lasts a few seconds. Looking good, can't wait to see your updates!

One out of 3 drains has been removed. Yay!!! Feeling better this afternoon. My Dr doesn't like to take photos so I haven't been able to get any with all the bandages off. Today was the first time that i even kind of saw what I am looking like.
