I had a tummy tuck and inner thigh liposuction yesterday. So far so good.
When I went to the surgery, my blood pressure high and they could do it at first (I was really nervous) and they stayed with me to get it calmed down. The relaxation discuss did it and I was ready to go.
So far, I've had a little pain (like a big workout soreness) but not that much. I'm sure the pain pump helps!
The staff was so amazing and so helpful. After I had the surgery, I felt good and was coherent. I walked around the house some. I'm hunched over. I've stayed propped up
Day 1 – I felt much better than imagined. I'm sure the pain pump helped.

Today was my post op check up day one. Everything is going well. I am sore but it's not unbearable. They seemed surprised at how well I was doing (I put on makeup and tried to look presentable). No showers until Saturday. Yikes!

Yeah! I'm a 12/19 gal, too. No real pain but I sure would like to, um, poo. I started colase(sp) on the 18th but nothing yet. And I can guarantee that the vicodin is helping!

I haven't had a poo either. Worried about how that will go! :)

Yeah congrats on making it to the flat side!! If you don't mind me asking how high was your blood pressure? I get white coat hypertension even though other wise my BP is great usually 115/65 or something close. I'm terrified I'll get there and I'll just be freaked out and not be able to do it cause my BP is high due to stress.

My bottom number jumped to 113! They had me lay back and calm down. I get anxious with doctors and dentists but my blood pressure has been normal until last month. I saw my family doctor a month before and he put blood pressure meds just in case, then it dropped lower and normal for a month. I was confused about the the no eating, drinking, water from the night before and skipped the medicine ( I never took meds before so I didn't really think about it). When are you scheduled?
December 21, 2012
Thank goodness you were able to calm down! I've never worried about my BP before cause its never been a problem but since I know I get freaked out by doctors and the like I've been kinda worried. My family doctor even has it listed in her notes and sent a notation to my surgeon that I'm white coat HT. I can always talk myself into calming down but still the fear lingers. I'm scheduled for Dec. 27th, I'm nervous and excited and all kinds of anxious!

Maybe they can give you something to lower it? Have you talked to your primary doc?

I'm day 1 PO; no poo; but my recovery thus far hasn't been painful. My PS requires me to walk 5 times a day for 15 minutes. I"m still slightly hunched over; but I'm actually sitting at the pc now. I took percocet yesterday after the surgery and 1 today. I've asked hubby to only give me ibuprofen. I received my compression garment at the PO today and was directed to only wear it 3 times a day for 2 hours. My drains are still in with only 50ml/cc total!! I was in such high hopes that he would take one out; but stated he will on Wednesday when I return. Sleep was great, I didn't rent the recliner; so I was propped up with pillows all around. I do not have an appetite; but have been drink the broth of the chicken soup. I love my results!!!

I have 2 drains. One is around 60, 70, 75 (emptied it 3 times since 2 days ago) my other one is only around 10 or 15. I've been trying to walk around, too. Congrats!

Today seemed to be a much better day. I showered (yay!) I've had some pain, but it was better. I put on makeup and fixed my hair a bit. I'm going to walk around a bit. I took a nap again today, which helped. The smoothies are helping nausea. Water helps a lot with hydration. Plenty of water!
