I love this site!!! It has helped me so much. I scheded my surgery a couple of months ago and I have spent MANY nights reading everyone's fantastic info!!
I am scheduled for an uplift, mini tummy tuck, umbiical hernia/muscle repair in 4 days!!!! I have been through a TON of emotions. Today It's fear. I'm afraid that I will regret this! I work out a ton! I'm in pretty good shape, I don't want to look worse. It's a lot of money and I just want to look and feel great.

I am 5 days in and I have no idea how other people wrote 1-5 day reviews!! I was out of it!!
So! I feel pretty good except the crazy swelling!!! My upper thighs and vagina are really, really , really swollen! My husband spoke to the dr. And I guess it's normal?
My first prescription was for dialodin, not sure how to spell., but I had to switch to tramadol because I was so nauseous and ITCHY!!!! I was crazy itchy after all three kids, so I'm guessing it's the anesthesia ? I sit and sleep in a recliner. The itch, nausea, and swelling are the hardest thing for me!! I also haven't had a BM yet. I really haven't been super hungry. My husband got me this telescopic back scratcher and it has saved my life!! I wanted to write my experience to help people with questions they may have, so many have helped me! But I'm having a hard time writing anything beneficial!! Ha! I will try again later

Yay for being on the other side!! Glad you got your meds switched, the itching had to be terrible. That's the last thing you want to deal with. Happy healing!
