Counting Down! - Washington, DC

It's getting real now. Monday is the big day. Went to my pre-op appt today, paid in full, and received my prescriptions. I'm so freaking nervous I don't know what to do.

Hey ladies, let me start by saying today I am post op day 14. I tried to write something when I was post op day 4 from my phone and when my phone rung it erased everything that I had written. So now I'll try to go back from the beginning and work my way up to today. The day of surgery was a good day. I was excited and thought the surgery went rather well. I was in surgery for 2 1/2 hrs. and was released two hrs later. I was very tired so I slept the rest of the day. When I did wake up I felt like I've done a million sit ups. I took a pain reliever and was out for the rest of the night. The good thing was I was never in pain I was just sore. Day two I was still tired and took a half a pill and just rest the remainder of the day. By day three I was feeling good did more moving and was just sore when getting up and getting back down. Day four it was time to go back to the doctor and I saw my tummy for the first time. My doctor said everything look good and I agreed. I was still swollen but saw great results!!! She took my drain out ( no pain), cleaned me up and I won't see her again until the 24th. The last few days have been up and down. My stomach is still swollen some days are better than others. I keep having this funny feeling in my stomach sometimes a little burning feeling and itching. Overall, I love my new tummy and can't wait to see how I'll be in the weeks to come. I'm headed back to work tomorrow so I hope all goes well. Oh I having put up pics because I don't know how to add them from my iPad it says something about checking my setting so when I figure this out I'll add my photos. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms!!!!
