Ok well im a few weeks away excited and scared to death (thought about cancelling) lol
I'm 47 with grown children 5"3 and 134 lbs hoping to drop 4 more :) I have been exercising and am a size 4/5 happy with my size more or less need to tone and build muscle. However it's my stretch marks that have always been my issue. I hide them from even my husband as they make me very self conscious.
So I'm taking the plunge the doctor does drainless I'm happy for that and at my initial appointment confirmed by my own doctor as well they say my ab muscles have not separated so no muscle tightening needed. I'm hoping this helps my recovery time. They will hopefully get rid of most the stretch marks and my little ponch! He will do Lipo of the flanks as well.
I have my preop tomorrow I'm soo nervous for the surgery worried about the risks the pain and the outcome. What is scar is too high, skin can't be pulled down enough belly button is ugly yeesh. I really did consider cancelling so scarred.
Have my list of questions about supplies needed.

Well surgery is tomorrow I'm so nervous! I think I'm prepared with all supplies needed feel like I'm nesting, house clean meals prepared lol.
Added a few more before pics (not sure why upside down sorry) my weight is 130lbs lost a few more pounds as you can see my main issue is stretch marks that are deep loose skin and a little pouch, which I'm hoping all gets resolved I'm a little worried I won't get as flat as I'd like because no muscle tightening (my surgeon and gp both agree my ab muscles have not separated). The Dr hopes to get rid of 85% of stretch marks I'm nervous about liking results getting a decent bell button and having enough skin to pull down for low scar and removal of old belly button yeesh worry worry worry.
Wish me luck! I'll update as soon as I can

Day 1 after surgery
Gigi1969March 17, 2016
So surgery went well dr said, but as I feared not enough skin to pull down so will have vertical line from old belly button. I'm not sure of placement yet as o haven't seen it . Laying in bed I have a dull pain managed by meds however getting in and out to go to washroom has been difficult painfull.
I'm itchy from Percocet but nothing I can't handle there taking 2 every 5 hours so far. I can't believe how much I've peed...5 times since I got home at 2:30 yesturday and I've only drank 2 Gatorade seems like allot.
Slept a few hours here and there.
Well that's it for now, I'd be happy for any tips fellow tummy tuckers.

Hi Adele yes in the flanks it's a little sore and bruised but it's really the incision by my hips that bothering me. I'll post some pics tomorrow after I shower and get large dressing off.

Hi. Switch off percocet as soon as you can. I started to feel more ill each day then switched to T3's. Also percocet can be addictive. The only reason I took percocet is because nurse pushed it. T3 will work as well with fewer side effects. For me and all people are different but I started vomiting stopped the percocet and felt so much better a day later. If it helps great but if you start to feel ill please consider switching.

Well snowy owl just as you predicted day two and Percocet caused bad nausea so scared I was going to throw up and could t even imagine the pain the would cause. So my midnight mess we're Tylenol, don't work as good for numbing pain but better then nausea. I will take 1/2 before my shower tomorrow but then will avoid them if I can. Qq

Good luck my friend. I did vomit and if it happens you'll survive i promise. I was lucky I think because I was drinking lots of water so that came up really easily. Nausea just feels so awful. Also make sure you are taking food with your antibiotic even if it says you don't have to. If it is a really powerful one it will be better with food.
