Tummy tuck with Lipo of flanks, abs & hips 1 week post op
OMG I am 1 week post op!! I am feeling very bloated, I'm extremely swollen, I'm uncomfortable, I'm in pain, I'm over it...OVER IT! The last of my drains came out 2 days ago (praise be)...
My surgery went extremely well I think. I don't recall the first day all I know was what my husband told me. I kept crying about the pain he said, so he had to call my PS to let him know that the oxcy wasn't working, he had to call in a high pain med. I was so damn uncomfortable, my back was on fire, my core was obsolete...dark times I'd like to forget! I got off the narco on day 3 I was so constipated and I couldn't sleep, I just had to switch to Tylenol PM just to get some sleep. I had my 1st BM on day 3, it was a total disaster trying to poop in a faja (omfg) the worst!
I am still having sleep issues but, my bm is some worth regular and my gassy feeling has subsided. I just need this damn bloating and swelling to reduce, if anyone has any tips, please pass 'em my way!
Current lifesavers are:
recliner
laxative
arnica gel
faja
zzquil
ginger tea
my poor husband
my sweet kids kisses
See attached pictures of my current status! I'll give another update probably at my 1 month mark.

Disappointed in Pre-Operation for Tummy Tuck & Lipo
Soooo my pre-op was kinda under whelming! It was mostly paperwork and prescription filling. I was really expecting them to really breakdown what I should expect, how I should prepare for the surgery and what my husband should do in terms of caregiving.
The nurse basically said dont eat or drink after midnight the night before surgery, make sure on the day of surgery you bathe with anti bacteria soup, no lotion, just deodorant and make sure I sleep in a flexed position. She told my husband that he would have to wait on me hand and foot, make sure I get a few minutes of walking in and that I stay on my meds...SOOOOO that was it! I was so unimpressed. I mean she didn't go into details about incision care, belly button care, how to put on the garment, how to take off the garment, how to drain or what to do if the drain clogs, nothing about how to care for the scare, what to expect when I shower....I MEAN THIS IS A MAJOR ASS SURGERY talk to me and prepare me like I am a child going to her first day of school. My husband was very disappointed, they barely exchanged 3 sentence with him as the primary caregiver, they didn't have a list of instructions for him to follow or what to really expect, how to care for me post surgery...I guess we'll be watching YouTube vids. SMH

Tmmy Tuck Op 34 Days Away
I am so excited I don't know where to begin! I have had a belly all my life (literally). I was one of those kids with the "toddler belly" and a small frame so it was even more pronounced cause I was so petite. I played soccer and ran track in HS and my lil belly ran with me LOL. Anyways, I after the birth of my twins 6 years ago, I never bounced back (damn you Queen Bey) hell, my stomach remained 3 months pregnant! It was sad, I exercised, did keto, did calorie counting, intermittent fasting, daniel fast, detox, even paid $700
for a personal trainer (covid shut that down and I lost my money).
July after my 36 birthday dinner, it hit me. I can't keep carrying this f**kin belly around!! I had always thought about lipo but the hubby was opposed to it, but, it wasn't his confidence that was drowning, it wasn't his body, its mine! I started my research and binge watched everything I could find on YouTube and on this site. I had 4 consultations with PS and finally found Dr. Heppe a total godsend! I knew instantly that he was going to be my PS, he was kind, honest, not forceful, not arrogant, he looked me in the eyes the whole time he spoke, his staff were kind and respectful, the office was clean clean CLEAN, they answered all my questions, I didn't feel rushed at all and his portfolio of results were stellar! The next day after my consultation I booked my surgery date for 1st week in Dec 2020. I cant believe it my belly and I are finally going to get a divorce!! Praise the sweet and loyal baby Jesus! On christmas day im going to be unwrapping a new banging body!
YAY.
