WORTH IT
Day of surgery and bit excited but nervous. I attend the plastic surgeons rooms yesterday afternoon and got marked up ready for surgery. Have been advised that I will be having lipo completed first then the tummy tuck and then the cleaned fat from the lipo will be injected into my buttocks. Can't wait for the 3 month mark.

Ok so it's about 3-4 hours post op. Had additional
Local injected during surgey and also have a pain pump, which I can use every 5 mins. Finding the pain bearable atm. Only using pain pump every 15-30 mins, with pain currently sitting around 2-3 out of 10. I know this will increase but really happy so far.

So I made the 4-5 hour trip
Home yesterday. Due to
Having fat transfers I can't sit directly on my bum, so when I'm lying down in in either side and for sitting I have a lovely dense foam seat carved out. My father did this for me
Before the long drive home. Which was a life saver as this ensured for a very comfy ride home. So I still have one drain in place have lost 80ml first day, 50 ml second day, and then 50 ml third day. I'm hoping that I only loss 30 ml in the
Next 24 hours so this can be removed and I can shower finally. The pain is easing a bit, but since leaving the hospital I get a burning pain in the
Middle
Of the night where the one drain is. I breathe through the pain and it does resolve itself but does hurt a lot. Hopefully I will get some photos in the next few days. Overall doing pretty well.

That is great that your father made the dense foam seat for you. I hope that you finishing draining soon so that you can get the drain out and a shower. I think that is going to be the hardest part for me....waiting to shower. I read that some other people were having burning and a pinching with their drains. I hope the burning goes away and you get your drain out very soon. Thanks for updating! We will look forward to your photos when you have the time and feel like it. Happy Healing!

Yeah my experience was
Like many others with the drain- burning and stinging sensations. Glad I've had a shower and more human like today. So much easier to get into a comfy position in bed and on the lounge. Due to having buttock far transfers I can't sit directly on my bottom. So side lying in bed and sitting on that foam cut out.
