I am 100 percent happy with my tummy tuck

I am 100 percent happy with my tummy tuck. I also had lipo on my flanks which left lots of bruising and soreness but you have to get massages after getting lipo you will heal faster and the drainage will go down better if you do massages. I read so many reviews on before and after especially on pain and recovery. When I had my tummy tuck done i was sore in the top middle of my tummy due to tightening of the muscles but I did not have pain like other women describe as if you can’t stand it. My pain was like a 5-6 right after. I only took pain medicine for 2-3 days than wasn’t on anything only took a muscle relaxer the 4rd day for a spasm in my tummy. I also had to take stool softeners for a couple of days but really recommend muralax instead. I only walked slouched over for about 4-5 days. I only used a walker for 2 days didn’t need it to walk at all just for support to get up off the toilet. I slept on my recliner with plenty of pillows for a week & 1/2 than placed some steps next to my bed to change to my bed. You won’t sleep on your belly for months due to the pulling and discomfort of your scar and your tummy will feel weird when you stretch due to the tightening of the muscles on the inside but starts feeling normal again after 2 months. I was back at work a week after my surgery with drains I took one out myself and had dr take out the second I hid my drains in Fanny pack lol. Your incision burns for about 3 weeks from it healing but easy to take care of. I don’t regret my tummy tuck At all I’d do it all over again. Everyone handles pain differently and I wish I’d done mine sooner. It’s been 2 months since my surgery and I feel like it’s been 5-6 months already I just don’t sleep on my belly yet and I just started sleeping on my sides with pillows tucked underneath for comfort. Also I can’t forget you will have swelling I think mine is still there sometimes but I try to wear my waist trainer to help out with the swelling. If your married I know it comes to mind how long you have to wait till you have sex and I waited 3 1/2 weeks of course with no weight on top of you but not everyone is ready or feels comfortable with it so based on you. Good luck and you won’t regret your tummy tuck after you get dressed up.
