Tummy Tuck / 53 / 6’1” / 206 / Wife / Mommy to Six / Granny to Six

It’s time to get rid of the mommy flap. Between family and career, I’ve put this off long enough. After several consultations I’ve chose Dr. Gbulie in Mansfield, TX. Post-Op is tomorrow 04/18/2018 with surgery being 04/23/2018. I’m excited and scared.
I welcome any guidance and support on the bet compression garments (which I need to purchase tomorrow). Were you more comfortable in bed or in a recliner?

This time tomorrow (2:30pm) I should be in recovery. I’m excited and nervous. I think I have every thing I need post op. The house is clean, laundry is done and groceries are stocked. My wonderful family have scheduled around-the-clock care for the next two weeks amongst themselves. I’m so thankful to have all of their support.

Maybe I’ll get outside and enjoy the weather for a while to get my mind off of everything. I welcome any suggestions and recommendations for post op.

Don’t remember much the day of surgery. I was on the table seven hours. I have two drains in my mons. Really trying to get up and move every three hours. The camping urinal is a life saver. Only taking hydrocodone every 5 hours for pain. Walking bent over is really hard on the back. The hard pain med will be in tomorrow if I need it. Will send updated pics soon.
