Tummy Tuck and Lipo on the Back

After waiting 10yrs I decided to take the plunge and get the tummy tuck/lipo. I had my baby 11yrs ago and being an older parent things didn't go back to normal. The journey was hard. I was sick 3 weeks b4 surgery, my blood pressure was so high they put me on meds to lower it, Anyway the nerves just got to me. I'm not going to sugar coat it, it is the worse pain I had in my life. I went back to my doctor and they put on the girdle, Ouch, honestly it was too soon, but that's what she wants me to do. The next day I didn't put it on, sleeping on a recliner that helped me get up did not even help, my back pain is so painful I have to ice it, then use a heating pad, I'm on day 4, the pain is still there but I feel like I'm moving better, I will attempt to put the girdle on, which I dont want 2, plus I got a minor Cold to top it off

7 days now, my back hurts so much, my whole body is tight, I walk like an old lady, I'm hoping she takes these drains out they are annoying, sometimes I feel like its digging into my skin, I dont want to wear the girdle if these drains are still on

I'm on day 11 got my 2nd drains taken off yesterday, Thank goodness, they are so annoying. I'm still hunch over but feeling much better. They have stressed that I need to wear the compression girdle aka Faja. Since drains are out I wear them all day. Faja holds u tight, it is a Must. My legs and foot are swollen so I'm taking Arnica which is supposed to help with swelling but its taking forever, I'm on YouTube to also find out other people's journeys and it has helped. This is going to b a long journey but oh so worth it. On monday I will go 4 my 1st lymphatic massage. They want me to get this done as well but everything cost $ got it thru Groupon. I almost feel like I'm pregnant cause my stomach feels so tight and things are moving inside me, it's a weird experience.
