Male Tummy Tuck UK Private - Glasgow, GB

I've now had most of the dressings removed apart from the belly button and one of the drains at the side which I am cleaning and redressing everyday. The swelling has gone down so much in the past week which was such a relief, I think it may be down to doing a lot of walking (about 4x 3 mile walks last week). Been feeling a bit more pain in my ab muscles the past couple of days and been very sensitive with clothes against my wounds. Not bad enough to go back onto pain killers but I think it might be my nerves starting to heal up again and be able to feel the external incisions.

I'm back in hospital today as the the swelling has gotten really bad on one side of the abdomen. In the past 12 hours I have been sweating and then shivering a lot. It's getting harder to get out of bed and this morning I woke up with a bad headache and really dehydrated which is unusual considering the amount of water I've been taking. The dressings have have been cleaned and changed and I've for some blood work getting done now. I'm currently waiting to get an ultrasound to see if there's too much fluid and if so I'll be going back into theatre later today.

The surgeon has removed the dressings this morning to check how the wounds were healing. I'm getting my drains removed later this morning and then I'll be discharged from hospital too. Feeling sore still but it's bearable. Went for a lot of short walks yesterday and also went up and down 2 flights of stairs a few times. Not been sleeping too well yet though so I keep getting hit with drowsiness when I'm in the middle of conversations haha.
