28 Year Old Mother of 2. Tummy Tuck with Lipo. - Rockford, IL

I'm amazed how easy this whole process has been. I only took 8 days off of work. I have a desk job though. I had a pain pump so the first three days which were the worst were not that terrible! I honestly remember being in more pain during my first c section. The tightness and the sleeping upright is annoying. But nothing terrible. I have an achy back if I do too much from being slightly bent over still. I'm almost fully upright. I'm only taking 1 pain pill at night and then ibuprofen the rest of the day. I take a muscle relaxer once a day bc I do have minor spasms in my abs I can feel sometimes. I've been down to one a day since 1 week post op. I took Miralax everyday. Started it 2 days before surgery and drank lots of water. Ive never had any bowel movement problems. I mean everyone is different but for me this surgery is no big deal at all. I was driving at 5 or 6 days post op. I still have my drains and I will until Tuesday next week, so 5 more days. I have some swelling in my back and love handled from the lipo. But I'm pleased to say all in all this surgery was no big deal at all for me. The pain meds work wonders if you keep up on them. And as for the rest just some minor annoyances but everyday is a little better. Just have to be patient. For any of you ladies considering this, I say go for it! You will not regret it one bit!!

Can't wait to see what the next 6 weeks brings
