WORTH IT$8,100
I am on Post-Op Day 3 from Full Abdominoplasty with Diastasis Recti repair. I had my first child when I was 18 & my stomach was never the same. I had my third child 5 months ago & decided to have a tummy tuck done. I went into this expecting to be in a lot of pain & I honestly have felt great! I was up & walking the day of my surgery & have had minimal pain. I am taking Percocet when needed, 800mg of Motrin round the clock, & an antibiotic four times a day. It hasn't been bad at all. I'm sleeping in a chair with pillows behind me & propping my feet up. I have 2 drains that I cannot wait to have taken out! All in all, I feel great!

Post-Op Day 4!
Today was the first day that I did not wake up feeling stiff/sore. I did my dressing changes first thing this morning & it looks better & better everyday. The only complaint I have at this point is lower back pain & abdominal itching! I know it's all part of the healing process but I wish I could scratch my stomach! I took my antibiotic this morning & haven't needed anything for pain so it's been a great day so far! I go to see my doctor for my first post-op appointment in 2 days & I cannot wait! I'm hoping he will pull 1 if not both drains! Here's hoping!

Post-Op Day 5!
Feeling good today! I gave my baby a bath for the first time last night & even though I had to take my time & take frequent breaks, I got through it just fine. I'm doing my daily dressing changes & am still taking Motrin for any discomfort that I may have. I'm standing up straight & am feeling great. I cannot wait to go back to my doctor tomorrow & hopefully have the drains pulled! Hopefully!

Thank you so much! It really has been amazing how well
I've felt through this recovery so far. I expected way worse do it's been a nice surprise! The only pain I feel is from the muscle repair. I have no incisional pain whatsoever! I'll take that! I'll post tomorrow after my doctors appointment!
