On day 16 post op I finally got my second drain out (no discomfort again when she removed it). It was a glorious day!! I had a full shower for the first time and told my husband I may never come out of that shower lol.
The Dr said the incision site is healing well but I still need to wear the binder for the muscle repair (6-8 for it to heal). I finally clarified the vertical incision which I was previously incorrect in my understanding. It is a new incision where my old belly button was but should heal nicely and it ultimately covered by my underwear even now.
I'm really pleased with my choice to do the surgery and my Dr who is very professional, skilled and honest.
The swelling... Oh the dear swelling... I hope it goes away in time as others have reported as I am anxious to really see the final product.
I tried on a few close fitting tops with such excitement!!!
Hope everyone else is doing well :-).

My second drain is still not able to come out which would have been tomorrow. The output is still too high (60 yesterday and 50 today), so hoping for the trend to decrease continues! The next opportunity to see my Dr is next Wednesday unfortunately to have it removed and I can not have my family Dr do it at an earlier date (I asked). I'm feeling pretty good though, had my first lymphatic massage today which was awesome- a very gentle touch unlike regular massages. Happy to healing to all the RS ladies!

8 Days PO- One drain out!

Well good news and bad... I'm healing well (so grateful) and one drain is out!! At the suggestion of my Dr's office I brought in a cotton tank top to wear under the binder which has helped a lot with the itching and irritation. On the down side- still one more drain in but in hopeful this Friday I can have the output low enough to have it removed. So... Can you believe still no showers until the other drain is out? Wow, I'm going to have to get creative- shallow bath perhaps?
Here are a couple of pics- still lots of swelling but liking the progress so far! I asked about the vertical scar today- it will definitely lighten with final results taking up to a year, I'm ok with that- I can see my belly button now- who knew?? Lol
Thanks Dr Kasrai, Eva and Jane for your care and support!!

I would absolutely without hesitation recommend Dr Kasrai. My tummy tuck, muscle repair and lipo was performed on Oct 26,2015 in the hospital setting without any surprises as I knew from talking with Dr Kasrai what to expect. She listened to my concerns, was realistic and honest in relaying what she could/could not do, and answering my tons of questions at each step of the way. I admire her professionalism, patience and calmness in the interactions I have had. I can not forget to add my sheer pleasure in meeting and being supported by Eva, patient coordinator as well. She has been a rock, responding to my calls, emails and was there after hours via cell phone after the surgery for support. Overall a wonderful experience!!
