My right breast is dropping faster than my left, although both are still high. Swelling in my tummy is still there. Discovered a small hole under left breast where stickers met. Ran a fever for a few days. Body trying to fight off infection. Went to ER and was given antibiotics.

I am finally allowed to sleep flat on my back instead of sitting up. My butt started to go numb..lol
Belly button is still healing as well.
Went down to a size XL for my compression garment and started wearing it today. I still have alot of swelling. Will begin my lymphatic massages next week, for now I do the massages myself. Found a really good video on YouTube from a lymphatic massage therapist that demonstrates how you can do your own massages after a tummy tuck surgery. So I massage myself for 10-15min everyday. It has helped tremendously.
I have areas under both breasts that still need to heal after I removed the surgical tape. So I will be keeping an eye on it. You will also noticed that I still have bruising on my left breast. It's starting to slowly go away but the doctor told me to keep an eye on it and to notify him if it begins to feel hard. Fingers crossed that doesn't happen. I am looking forward to when the swelling goes down but that will probably be awhile.

Getting my drains removed today so I am very excited about it. I continue to do my walks everyday. I still have a lot of bruising on the side and under my breast. It's a good thing I consistently worked out at the gym because using my arms (especially tricep muscles) quite frequently. I can finally stand straight. The lower back pain from being bent over is starting to ease up. I am now only taking my pain meds every 8-9 hours. My breast still need to drop more. Currently my right us higher than my left, so I still wear the band across the top of my breast all day and night. I was excited to buy a bikini top just to see what my boobs look like in them. I can't wait for them to drop. I still have a lot of swelling in my waist.
