I am going into my 5 weeks after surgery. The first week with my tummy tuck wasn't too bad taking pain pump out . I am here to tell you I was freaking out afraid it was going to hurt. RELAX DIDNT EVEN FEEL THE TUBES COMING OUT. The drains for me was the pain probably just because not use to having something hanging like that and they got yanked once or twice. Now when I went to take them out I was freaking out . It was funny after the fact because me and Di (Dr Prada nurse) was discussing the tubes com in out n i was begging for pain med n she was great also before i realized the very little burning from tubes coming out it was over. So i was more of a big baby then needed to be .lol
Now the lipo suction I cannot lie IT HURTS BAD !!!!!! It still hurts just not as bad. BUT ALL THE PAIN N EXPERIENCE IVE WENT THROUGH W-E-L-L W-O-R-T-H -I-T. I told my boyfriend at some point I WILL BE JUMPING UP N DOWN CRYING SAYING I DID IT I FINALLY DID IT AND LOOK N FEEL AWESOME.
