Tummy Tuck 2/1/11 - New Orleans, LA

After a 90lb weight loss after gastric bypass 2 years ago I decided it was time to get rid of the excess skin I had in my lower abdomen.

After my surgery I experienced some pain, I did have a pain pump and kept on top of the pain meds so as to not let the pain become unbearable.

I am almost 3 weeks out and for the 1st time I am experiencing some extreme pain on the left side where the incision was closed with staples. I think it may be the start of an infection. I did call the PS office and was told to clean the area with Hibiclens and use Bacitacin ointment on the area until I can see the PS on Monday morning.

I have posted pics do know that once the swelling goes down I will be very happy with the final result.
