First shower. I thought I died, lol.
So back to the shower. Hubby was a trooper and practically handled me like a wet tissue, was very careful and tender. But man, oh man! Was that ever tiring! I made sure to take my pain meds a good half hour before so it wouldn't be so bad, but when it was over I hunched over in my bed, closed my eyes for a bit and thought I really died. It hurt sooooooo much!
Lesson learned: to Percocets for the next shower I attempt, AND It may just be sponge baths and wet wipes till these tubes come out. Geez! Oh, and DO NOT take that garment off unless I am lying propped up on something at least resembling a bed.
Right now I am so glad we spent the extra money and got me the remote controlled hospital bed!
Until next time,
A very swollen and sore TMT.
Day 2, Feeling pretty good.
I must say this hunching over stuff is doing a number on my back. Not being able to hold my babies is harder than I thought it would be, but thankfully they have each other to keep them distracted.
Here's a day one pic. This was before the swelling began.
First day back at home.
I'm so loopy right now from meds that I can barely type this post, but I wanted to check in and let you know I made it and am doing well. I did manage to get a few photos before the swelling kicked in, so I will upload those in the morning.
For now I just wanted to say what a wonderful experience it's been so far with Dr. Tong and his fabulous team.
Can't wait to fill you in with details tomorrow.

Provider Review
I have been a patient of this doctor before for a complete breast lift with implants. The results were amazing, and his bedside manner was just amazing. My breasts were extremely saggy, droopy and to top it off lopsided. My initial consultation was very reassuring. There was no question too silly to ask, and Dr. Tong had a great sense of humor when handling my list of concerns. Dr. Tong helped me select the best implant for my desired look, and kept it really honest with me when I wanted something over the top. In the end, I am so glad that I did not go with the bigger size and trusted his skill. Dr. Tong does not just look at the procedure you're wanting at the moment. He takes your entire physical make-up into consideration, and took the time to ask me if I would be considering any future procedures and then provided his best advice. (At the time I had a pretty significant diastasis from my now 3 year old. I told him that I knew I would be back for a Tummy Tuck but wanted to wait until I was sure that I was done having children). ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dr. Tong is graceful and able to articulate his professional opinion without offending. The clinic staff was very professional yet down to earth and warm. Everyone in his care team put me at ease every step of the way. They have become like family to me through this process. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three years, a surprise twin pregnancy, and an even bigger distasis later: After having my second c-section in 3 years, and delivering two very large babies (39 weeks gestation) My abdomen was obliterated. I knew immediately that I was going back to my Yorkville Plastic Surgery family and did not even bother to consult another doctor. I lost all of my post partum weight and have a very narrow waist and hips, but this basketball would just not go away. Being a fitness enthusiast I knew that certain core targeting exercises could actually Strengthen my gap where it was and make it tougher to close. Other core conditioning treatments were only so effective on my super gap. It was never a question in my mind that once I had done my best on my own, I would be back to the skillful hands of Dr. Tong. Not only did I have more than a 4 finger gap, but my fascia was also unusually thin and quite tricky. Dr. Tong's skill was the White Horse Rider once again, as he was able to repair my super tricky tummy. Based on our talks post op, my case was quite unique and a fairly rare challenge. Well based on my outcome I would never know it. Similar to my breasts, my tummy was in really rough shape. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ I'm beyond thrilled with the outcome and it's only been one week so far. The results are so drastic that my husband even joked about Dr. Tong being a Sorcerer because my results could not be from surgery alone! I cannot say enough about Dr. Tong's skill and expertise. Overall, I would give Dr. Tong and his staff 10 stars if this rating system allowed. I have, and continue to refer anyone I know even considering plastic and cosmetic procedures. My only disappointment is that I am so thrilled with my new body that I cannot foresee needing to return for any procedures in the near future. Thankfully Dr. Tong's team is so accommodating and warm that I feel comfortable just dropping a call to say hello. Sincerely Thrilled, TwinMomToronto
