Tummy tuck with muscle repair and lipo

WORTH IT$7,900
I've waited six years to have this surgery. After giving birth I was left with diastasis, hernias, botched belly button due to the two surgeries i had to fix a hernia and remove a tumor and left with wrinkled skin. The more weight I lost the worse my skin became. I was always uncomfortable, my pants would always stab into my stomach or belly button which hurt and I was just so done with the feeling.

My recovery thus far puts me at 6 days PO today and honestly it wasn’t nearly as bad as I feared. I was shocked and happy with how well I did as soon as I woke up in recovery and from then on. I get tingly and burning sensations here and there throughout my abdomen or along the side of my incisions but nothing i can’t tolerate. I’ll say it’s like pain level 2. The only pain I can say is in my back where the lipo took place and that’s when I’m walking around. If i stand or walk longer than 4-5 minutes it reaches to 5. I was pretty tired the first three days but I’ve just been relaxing and watching tv like my normal hours now.

You look amazing doll! Did you have a pain pump? How are you keeping the pain under control? I'm getting a TT revision with muscle tightening and I'm a little nervous about the pain.

Thank you so much! And yes I had a pain pump which lasted me till the fourth day. I wasn't on any narcotics. I had gabapentin, a muscle relaxer and an anti inflammatory pain pill that doesn't cause blood thinning. Everything has been so tolerable that it's still crazy to me.

To ADK, you look great and yes, it will only get better. Just remember to take it easy and eat good foods.
To Bestielife.
I never heard of a pain pump. Did your dr say he was going to give you one after your surgery?
