Drainless tummy tuck - so far so good

So Far So Good

nicarpenter
WORTH IT
I had my procedure was on 3/2/22. Surgery went good. I woke up in a little pain, but more like a stomach ache with a little soreness where lipo was done. Of course lots of tightness. I had the drainless tummy tuck. The staff was great getting me comfortable for the 2 HR drive home. Once I got home in bed I was pretty comfortable minimal pain. Getting up walking around is where I experience most of my pain. I didn't sleep much last night. This morning I'm feeling ok. Not feeling sick or anything just sore. It's tolerable with making sure I'm on top of my meds. All my focus is on my tummy I don't even notice my breasts. I did start drinking arnica 2 weeks prior to surgery and going to keep drinking through recovery. I will keep updating through my recovery and get pics when I can unfortunately I forgot before pics.

I actually got some good sleep last night. Feeling better pain wise this morning walking around. I can stand a little straighter. My back hurts from being hunched over. I've been tolerating all the meds good.

Most of the pain has subsided. My back still hurts I'm still hunched over, but standing straighter everyday. I'm still using a chair in the shower because my back still hurts. I'm still really swollen and bruised. I finally got pics I'll add today.
