I'm Booked!!!!!!!! – Winnipeg, Manitoba

So went to the drs on Wednesday and he didn't have to drain any fluid. But made the appointment on Monday and by wednesdayit wasn't as bad. Plus I started my period on Monday and I was constipated and didn't "go" until Wednesday morning, so maybe I wasn't retaining as much as I thought....he said there was about 10 cc of fluid in there and it will be absorbed and don't worry about it. He is extremely happy about my belly button and my scar, he said its healing great and I have to start pressing really hard on my scar when I massage bio oil in. He cleared me to do any thing I want but he wants me to wait 3 more weeks to do kick boxing ( 8 week mark) Starting today I do not have to wear my binder any more, but I took it off this morning and by 11:30 I put it back on, I find with out it I walk hunched over more and my back was hurting, so I guess I will have to wean my self off of it. He wants to see me in 6 weeks, seems far away but he said if any problems call him. Going to go tonight and by a spankx type thing for those days when I feel like I need it. Also going to go see if I can buy a couple pairs of shorts, before tummy tuck I was between a 10-14 depending on cut and now I am a 6-8 and we are going to Mexico at Christmas and if I don't buy shorts now I will have a heck of a time buying them in December lol. I wil take pics next Friday at 6 weeks :). Have a great weekend all, and happy healing!!!!!

Once again I have to go get more fluid drained. :(. Button up side, scar is healing beautifully!!!!

Well just over the 4 week mark, and the other day I went out for dinner and a friend of mine asked me, would you do it again? And I said hell yes! She asked me the pros and cons. I said pros are: I have a flat tummy ( well semi flat, I'm so swollen) , when I start running again it won't rub raw from rubbing against my clothes, no sweaty folds, I got to buy pretty little panies lol, and for me it was also emotional baggage from my child hood. I had a very stressful childhood and that's when I started to get my lower tummy, of course having 2 csections didn't help, but a lot was from childhood. Cons: Hate the swollen feeling, hate that I can not do the things I want to do because dr wants me to rest as much as possible. I have a ton of energy and it makes me restless, which makes me a little crabby. Hated the nauseated feeling while taking antibiotics. Hate asking for help. But as far as healing, pain, and setbacks, I would for sure do it again. I am starting to wonder if my body retains liquid more then others as when I was pregnant with my boys, I had toximia with both of them, ( it's where your body retains) and had to goon meds after wards, I am gong to call dr on Monday and see if I need some thing. Have a wonderful weekend every one :)
