Second Time Around - Wynnewood, PA

I had my first tt with bl and flanks done on may 28, 2014, i wasnt satisfied with the muscle repair tht dr franckle did so i seek out anothr ps to c if i needed my muscles tightened even more. I had my second tt with flanks and back done on may 28, 2015. Im only 3 days po and im feeling a lot more pain in my abs thn my first tuck. Im not nauseated and throwing up like my first tuck. Wen i told my new ps tht i was vomiting my first tuck, i think they gave me something else for anesthsia and different meds bc i cant beleive tht im not sick. Wen i feel like im going to vomit, i get a pillow and hold it tightly to my stomach and i just keep on swallowing and it did work. Vomiting, laughing too hard and coughing is going to kill me right now besides i dont wnt to take any chances of stitches popping. Im feeling sharp moving pains in my upper abs. I stopped taking the meds to c how bad my pain is but my back is starting to hurt so i probably have to start taking them again, the doc told me to stay in bed for atleast 2days just get up to pee and this is killing me. I have been walking around hunched ovr just to exercise a little. He told me 2 wks i should b fine but i dont know bc it took me abt 3 to 4wks last time bc i swelled up so bad tht i couldnt walk and my old ps didnt want me to come to the office wen i callef him abt being swollen. Im hoping it,s not v swell hell the second time around. I cant drain bc the blood is leaking frm drain incisions instead of the drains, so i have to keep a towel in my panties at all times or it drips down my leg wen i stand up. One drain is comimg out on tuesday i just dont know how much im draing so it mite just fix tht and keep it in. If these drains will save me frm swell hell, id rathr have drains in a little longer. I havent looked at my stomach yet, tmrw im taking a shower, tht wen i will take pic, or let hubby take pics, then post them.

Im trying to eat better during my recovery this time. My husband fed me last time so i was eating all fast food bc he was preparing my food. This time around first i was eating toast with the meds so i dont get sick, then i went to one boiled egg with toast as my meals, now im eating one boiled egg, banana and 6oz of banana smoothies. Im trying to eat bc i have to keep my weight up bc i only weigh 115, mite b less then tht now tht i had the lipo. I think tht i swelled up so bad last time too bc i was taking in too much salt, not this time im going to make sure of that. Those chocolat banana smoothies r low in fat, my daughtr makes them. I have to call the ps today bc im still draining frm incision instead of in the drains, so he mite want me to come in to take it out. It would b nice to get one of them out.

My ps wanted me to come in today bc the blood was coming down my legs from the drain incision instead of in the drains. He said tht everything looked good and he took both drains out instead of one, wht a big relief! Im still taking the meds, still hunched ovr, and still have pain in my stomach, back and flanks. I saw my stomach and it,s flat even with the swollen present. My stomach was nevr this flat anytime during my fisrt tt. I hope tht it stays this way, he showed me a pic of how much skin he took frm my abs and i didnt realize how much skin needed to come off. NO MORE VERTICAL SCAR, YEAHHHH! He had enough skin to remove it and he didnt have to sacrifice my low horizontal scar. He told me to wear my bakini bottoms on surgery date so he would make the scar low as possible. I told him tht i would rather have a little vertical scar than a raised horizontal scar but i got both my wishes. I post pics of my new stomach. He did a complete MR and really tightened thm up. My BB was lowered some bc it was too high anyway. Im thinking abt using the marple trick in BB to enlarge the whole a bit. So far i am finally satisfied.
