Tummy Tuck Jan 31 2014 - Waco, TX

Well I'm getting my new body the day after my 31st birthday. I'm super excited and nervous about the pain and recovery.

I'm a 30 (almost 31) year old mother of 4 children. I'm having a full tummy tuck with muscle repair and lipo for contouring.

My Dr says I have a good amount of vaginal laxity witch will be brought up. My muscles will be repaired, and most of my stretch marks will be gone.

My last preop appointment was Monday. I got my proscription for my pain meds, muscle relaxer, and antibiotics filled and ready to go. My lab work and preregistration at the hospital was done Monday also. I'm having my surgery at Hillcrest Hospital in Waco. I live right down the road so hopefully the trip home won't be to harsh.

Had some complications yesterday keeping my vitals normal. They wanted to keep me for observation but we decided to come home instead.

Later last night I had to have an emergency visit with Dr.Hand and his wife. They were at there daughter's birthday party and dropped everything. To check me out.

I had started throwing up, dizzy, light headed and in the worst pain I've ever felt. In the office my vitals were excellent. He called in script for my nausea and vomiting.

I've been able to walk around today with getting dizzy or light headed. No more nausea. Pain is becoming more manageable, but it still hurts. He said he took 6.5 pounds of skin.

Will update with pics when I'm feeling more up to it

Well I'm doing better. I'm still resting not doing much. I get these drains out Monday I can't wait. I'm not taking the pain meds very much. I just get very fatigued and winded when I walk. I'm still not walking straight I'm a little bunched over and still sleeping in the recliner. I'm soooo ready to sleep in my bed again!!!
