38 Yrs Old 1 Child, Dreaming for Flat Stomach !!

My recovery was great! Eventhough swelling still happens if i take my binder off, i have a follow up on 9th of august. i am extremely satisfied with my results however i feel my dr didnt pull my stomach as far as i wouldve want to. So here some before and after pics ill repost later again.

Hi U guys i finally got my drain tube out i cant explain how good it feels to be free from my drains. So my swelling has gone down a lot , but i am still very swollen specially my pubis area, i cant fit into any of my cloth still, however i see some results already. i am off pain meds i ocationally get back pain and need to rest between activities, i have poor endurance and feel restless requiring breaks throughout the day, i am now walking in the mornings and afternoon to regain my strength/ endurance. i ve been very active since day one but take lot rest breaks throughout the day. Last night was the first night i slept in my bed all night, i had been trying but only tolerated 2 or 3 hrs and was bck to my recliner. My incision is healing beautifully i love it. i was planning to do scar management and kinesio taping tech but honestly i dont think i am going to need it. My Dr still out of vacations until May 15th my nurse recommended lymphatic messages after 4 to 6 weeks. The area where i had my tube i
feels hard i wonder if its liquid accumulation ( hematoma) , i hope not. Well thats it for me ! til next time .

Hello Everyone , more of an updated posted i want ask those who had surgery already how long did u all keep ur drains? and how much were u draining before u got them removed? its been 16 days my surgeon is out on vacations since 26th and is not coming bck until 5/15, so my US dr change jobs and no other Dr wants to take me in as their patient for this particular issue of my tummy tuck. So i had go mx with general Dr get my stitches removed, it was really painful i felt Dr didnt know what to do. My surgeon Nurse has been following up with me and based on pics and ml ive reported from my draining tube she has suggested to remove them tomorrow Monday 4/30/18. Ive had chills and the fluid from my granite is thick and cloudy with residues of fatty tissue pretty disgusting !! So any way i am still draining abt 10 ml every 2-3 hrs i am going to follow up with nurse to see what she suggests as far as removing or not, its driving me crazy, cuz i feel its getting pulled all the time and it hurts. I just dont feel safe going just any Dr in mx to pull it out any suggestions ? How abt my compression socks if i take them off i swell up a lot, the swelling in my entire body is crazy am starting peel from swelling going down.
