Day 6 Post op...Today I woke up feeling the worst...
WORTH IT$7,681
Day 6 Post op...Today I woke up feeling the worst yet....not good at all. I think the reason is that my pain pump has finally emptied. I'm really low on my Oxycodone pills too and have cut the remainder in 1/2 taking them sparingly. I contacted the Dr office and got an appt for tomorrow afternoon rather than Friday. I'll see what he says about pain whether I get a refill of Oxy's or if he has a different suggestion. I still have next to no appetite and when I do eat something I feel like I over ate no matter how little it is. Today I believe I will put my feet up and relax think I overdid it yesterday.

Day 4 post op and doing well. I have backed off...
Day 4 post op and doing well. I have backed off on the perscription pain meds (Oxycodine) to see how long I can go before I need them. Before this I was taking them exactly every 4 hours. I only seem to take a couple per day now. I finally was able to have a BM for the first time since surgery which felt so much better. I seem to be really swollen today and have a muffin top over top my compression garment....I believe that is due to the lipo he did there. I am getting up for about 15 mins at a time and was even able to stand at the sink and wash a few dishes today. I don't have much of an appetite and nothing sounds good to me that usually would...not sure why. All in all I don't find the recovery has been that bad at all and is totally worth it! :)

I'm 2 days post op and doing very well. My surgery ended up taking 6 hrs and 45 mins vs the 4.5 - 5 hours that was planned. I had a full TT, MR and upper and lower back lipo. The dr took 4 lbs of skin and 5 lbs of fat. I woke up from the surgery with no issue and was home by 5pm the same day. I even stayed awake lots the first night and watched tv some. I'm set up on the couch with lots of pillows propped into a 3/4 seating position. I have a U shaped neck pillow which is very handy! My pain hasn't been too bad, I have a pain pump as well as meds I've been taking every 4 hours like clockwork. I have one drain which was draining lots but has really slowed down today. I go to the PS office Friday and hope to have the drain and pain pump removed. So far I'm pleasantly surprised with my abilities and recovery thus far!
