At least you'll be getting a lot of rest after the procedure! How are you feeling now? If you get a chance, check out Kimmer's Month-by-Month Tummy Tuck Diary. It has some great tips.

Hello everyone, I'm doin well.. I have some swelling not alot. I went to see my ps on wednesday and he said evrything looks great in fact ahead of schedule..i'm only 5 days post op....he wanted to take my one drain out but decided to wait until mon. i don't feel that comforable without my compressure garment on.. I would take it off for an hour and quickly put it back on.. I guess I just dont want it to swell on me..i keep it off enough to try on all the lingerie I just brought LOL!!! Sexy I am...My husband can't keep his hands off me.. even with this ugly drain in the way.. HA..HA

3 months post op..but I'm going back to get my little puff dog ears taken care on June 9th.After this procedure he will take after pictures and I will post them. (before and after) so far so good..I started workout @the ymca..plenty of cardio and two days ago I worked on the ab machine I started small 25lbs.I am very happy with results of my tt,lipo. Everyday I lotion and massage my scar twice a day with the really vitamin E oil and St. Ives Renewing collagen elastin during the day and @ bedtime vitamin E and shea butter/lotion. My doctor said my scar looks great for 3 months post-op..and I must say I agree.. My clothes OMG fit me well and I am wearing the heck out of them too..LOL.. Now I need some more boobs...My husband said,"Oh no you don't." I will talk him into it.. I gotta work a little hard...Who run the world GIRLS... LOL..Good luck to all who are going in soon.. It is definitely worth it..
