46 Years Old with Seven Kids in Need of a Make over for Those Stubborn Areas Exercise Hasnt Worked on. West Bloomfield, MI

Well after several months on this website. I had lipo done on my upper and lower abs, my flanks, saddle and outer thighs plus a mini tummy tuck. My surgery was last Friday and today is my post day 4. The day of surgery: I arrived at 10:45 am my surgery was scheduled for 11, after a few minutes I paid and met with Dr. Wolf for a few moments. I was a little nervous but he greeted me with a huge hug, he was very kind and caring. He explain everything to me and ask if I have any questions or concerns. I went back out to the waiting area and was called back about 20 minutes later to have my photos and markings done by Dr. Wolf. There was a little wait before it was time for me to have my procedure due to another women ahead of me. So they made me really comfortable in the waiting room by giving me a blanket, dim the lights with music. About 20 to 30 minutes later they came and got for my surgery. In the surgery room I met with the anesthesiologist she was super nice and nurse for the 2nd time. She ask me some more questions and then started my IV. I have super small veins but she was able to get a good vein the 1st try...lol. After a few minutes I guess I was off because the next thing I knew I was waking up in recovery. Dr. Wolf and staff made sure I made it to my hotel and was settle in nice and cozy. That night I slept pretty much the entire night thanks to the Percocet Dr. Wolf prescribed for pain. When I did wake I was a little drench from the leakage. I laid on 2 to 3 towels and lots of pillows on my back. I was pretty sore and took 1 of the pain pills and that got me thru the rest of the night. The next day I had to take 2 every 6 hours with my antibiotic every12 hours.
Day 1 after surgery: Getting up to go to the bathroom, and laying back down was the hardest thing to do! I was stiff and pretty sore. I didn't have an appetite but I forced myself to eat. I had lunchable and orange juice and I about 32 oz of water. The doctor came to see me and took a drain out of my stomach from the tummy tuck. There wasn't a lot of drainage as he expected. The next day I got up and flew home to rest. Walking was a little easier than I expected. Overall I am super swollen with some bruises on my thighs. After the 1st day, I didn't have anymore bleeding. Day 2 was about the same and controlled with pain med's. I ate lots of protein filled meals as protein is good for healing. I'm also eating a lot of pineapples, drinking lots of water and taking turmeric for the bruising and inflammation. Day 4:I took my 1st shower after consulting with Dr. Wolf and notice more swelling especially my feet. I'm trying to stay of my feet more but I really feel better than I had expected so far. I hope I done over do it. For the most part I'm feeling fairly good. I can't tell how my body looks my stomach looks a little swollen and hard. I will try to post my pre procedure and post pics soon. Happy healing :)
