Well it has been seven weeks since my surgery and I am loving my new tummy. I am still numb and the doctor said it will take several months or even a year to get sensation back, but it's worth the wait. I thought I would update my pictures so here we go.......

It has been some days since I have updated you all on my progress. I have been so busy and will post new picks tomorrow. Well I got my second drain removed yesterday and I am now drain free! Thank God! My tummy is still swollen but by hips aren't as sore so that's good. I went back to work Thursday and went back full force, which I should not have. I'm a hairstylist and I have a huge clientel. I have been working 12 hour days and I have two assistants and it still has been rough. I find that my back is killing me. I have to pop the oxycodone at work cause the extra strenght Tylenol does nothing at all. I go back to the doctor on Monday. I may have to get fluid drained off my belly and I believe I'm retaining extra fluid because mother nature has visited. My PS said it takes months to see final results. But anywho I am patient. Summer is four months away, that is if you live in Florida. lol So I can wait to show off my new body. I wore a catsuit today and looked great. My clients and coworkers could tell the difference. Yea me!

Well it is day eleven and it seems as if all the days are running together since I'm not working. Last night I discovered I had an infection at the site of my right drainage tube. It look similar to green muscus and I had a slight odor. It wasn't alot, but I am very particular about things like that. I called the after hour number and the PS called me in a prescription and I can tell a difference already. I noticed that that the infected drain isn't draining as much and the other drain is draing more, but anywho I go to the doctor tomorrow so we will see what happens.

Thank you. I still cannot lay on either side because my hips are so tender and bruised. How long does that last. I am so tired of laying on my back. The lipo is worst than the tummy tuck. uggghhh The tape hasn't come off my belly button so I still don't know what that looks like.

Well today was a better day. I got one of my tubes removed today and suprisingly it did not hurt. It felt wierd and that was all. I go back on Wednesday and hope I can get the other removed then. Sp keep you all updated. tata

Nervous, Congrats on the drain coming out! I'm so glad you posted it's not painful. I've been worried that I should take a pain pill to handle the drain removal, but I've read a couple of other posts and several people say it feels wierd but doesn't hurt. I'm so glad you got one of the drains out, you must feel better. Hope you get the other out really soon.

I do feel better, but I did take my meds about an hour before I went in to ease the pain. Now I'm not sure how much it helped, cause everyone is different. I literally did not feel ANY pain. It felt like a slithering worm and only lasted about 8-10 seconds. lol She put on a bandage and I was out. There was no after pain either. It's so much easier taking a shower and going to the bathroom with the one drain.
