Hello All! Day 1, had surgery at 7:30 this morning and I feel fantastic! Honestly I can't believe how good I feel! I was in surgery for less than 2 hours and recovered quickly. Loved the staff and my doctor. The nurse was so good that she even numbed the area before she started my IV. I am not in any pain at the moment, but the pain medication is making me itchy. I have my mom here to take care of me and she is awesome (she's a nurse so that's a blessing). I am sitting up right now, hunched over of course, as I write this. Laid in bed with a ton of pillows propping me up in a beach chair postion. The drains are kinda gross as expected, but they will be out soon.I am so surprised by how well i feel. I was planning on hardcore pain for at least 48 hours. Other than being a little irritable I am optimistic and happy. By the way I DO NOT have children and was tired of being asked if I was a mommy. I hope that any young people out there who have simply lost alot of weight find at least something useful or informative in my posts. I struggled to find cases similar to mine, so I thought I would share. Will keep you posted!

Hi again, I forgot to mention that because my skin laxity was due solely to weight loss, I did not have to have any muscle tightening done. I have some strong abs under all this flabby skin I swear! I hear that is a major source of pain in tummy tucks. I had a breast augmentation in 2009, and it hurt WAY worse than this. I'm pretty sure that in a few weeks when I'm starting to heal up that I will be able to click that thumbs up and say that it was worth it!
