I had my procedure done on wenesday September 4th. The day of my procedure I was nervous but my doctor was amazing, the procedure lasted 3 hours when I woke up I was under anesthesia so I felt no pain. The day of my surgery i was super nervous but the staff made me feel very comfortable. When I got home I had no pain because I was still under the anesthesia. The next day I was under a lot pain mostly getting out of bed and making any moves that required my abs muscles. I was also very swelled. The next day was painful and had to use my percocet and valium. I did get some bruises and because I didn't get to the right garment I got some blisters

The first 72 hrs were hell, I needed lots of help with getting up, siting up, doing everything... I was in a lot of pain but my doctor gave me some good drugs Percocet and valium and that helped me relax and keep still.

8 Days Post Tummy Tuck update, a lil disappointed

12 Sep 2013

I am still having a hard time moving around a little, I felt okay yesterday and decided to clean my house and I paid for it later, I was in pain around my incision and the swelling got out of control.

I am starting to see the new shape of my body and i am happy but I am a little disappointed that the stretch marks are still below my belly button, I dnt know if I should talk to my surgeon a day see if he can remove more skin, or if he did the best he could :( I dnt know what to-do..

I am very shy and I hate showing unhappiness or disappointment, because I do not want him to feel like I am questioning his judgement or skills.. What should I do
