So Many Emotions & It Turned out Great

WORTH IT
I was super nervous to start this process I have three children 5,4 and 10 months but I was so unhappy with my body . I wanted a change for so long but I wasn’t sure if I could afford it or handle it . But I finally decided to do it! I got a tummy tuck so from the very begging ANGIE has been the greatest and so helpful I appreciate her more than words could say ! I had scheduled my surgery and I live in NC so I drove there and stayed from the 10 until the 19
I had my first pre op on the 11 and my COVID test and surgery on the 13th and my first post op visit the 18th I stayed in the hospital the first day after Dr.masri was the best he checked on me was patient and did a wonderful job ! My first time walking wasn’t as bad as I thought but my drains are what was the most painful and not painful bc of them but when getting up I felt like that’s what pulled the most I’m day 9 post op and I think today was my first shower without being in a bend mode so it was less painful my first shower was the 19 and it was really difficult bc I was In a bent position each position especially early morning hurts going from laying to standing or even laying to sitting just felt like I put a lot of pressure on the drain sight the binder was also aggravating bc of my hips so it rode up often I did try to get a faja but until the drains are removed my husband and I are to nervous to get it on bc it’s a very much more tighter way and you have to pull and tug to put on . Walking is getting easier by the day . Can’t bend over and put lotion on that’s a goal belly button looks great too honestly I am still numb in certain areas even still on day 9 I plan to update and put pics on 1 month post op and let everyone know how I’m feeling. Any questions please ask bc I had so many and wanted to know from a actual person what was going on . How it felt . I also was a c section mom .

Yes, the drains are the worst. Atleast I think. Mine were placed on my vagina, right under the tummy tuck line, and oh my gosh everytime I would get up, they would like pull & it was the worst pain ever. I'm now recovering from having butt implants & the drains weren't so bad from them. They came out the bottom of my butt. Lol.

Im trying to go with Dr. Nick! From what you guys are saying I guess the drains are going to be the worst part? Question?? How many post op appointments did you have? I can't afford to stay in Florida forever. Who's going to take my drains out when I'm back home in Wisconsin?

Sooo guys here for my update things have been rough drain wise but yesterday I got my first drain removed ! I’m so ready to see my body in regular clothes here’s a body update ! But feeling wise I am feeling better I do stand up straight I noticed that when I take the binder off even to use the restroom before I shower things feel uncomfortable it’s more comfortable weirdly to be tight in the binder versus not being in it but I’m ready to switch over into the Faja I haven’t been able to yet because of the drains
