I'm a 27 yr old mother of a 3yr old and a 10 month old and just had a tummy tuck done 6 days ago and I'm very excited with the results so far. I also had lipo of the waist and back. The first 3 days were very painful.... Took Vicodin every 5 hrs for 4 days then stopped because I was getting nausea and headaches and continued managing the pain with Tylenol.
Had my first post op appt today and both drains were removed (wasn't painful at all) and I'm feeling a lot better after that. I'm not allowed to take my first shower till tomorrow morning... Can't wait!!!!
The only thing that concerns me right now not being able to walk staight... The muscle pulling is very strong and uncomfortable. I'm gonna take it one day at the time so lets see how it goes!

Hi, I'm getting my surgery done on August 10th and I aam super nervous. Dr. Baillo is great and I trust him. I was wondering if you can give me tips on what to wear right after the surgery and how was it the day of the surgery?

So I'm about go go to bed but wanted to write a quick update first... I finally took a shower this morning and I'm feeling great... The pain is much better now, I'm taking Aleve to control it... What bothers me the most now is my lower Back from not being able to walk straight :( it definitely gets better each day... I'm able to drive now.. yay! And was able to pick up my daughter from school today :))... Will be going to Nordstrom tomorrow to buy some spanx that my PS recommended to alternate with the girdle...
