3 days post op tummy tuck

Okay so the first day I was wondering why in the world I decided to put myself through this. I couldn't believe they did it outpatient and neither could my mother (my husband stayed home to keep the baby) so we stayed in a motel room near the hospital just in case I encountered any problems. I had a lot of nausea... like motion sickness and weakness, but it was probably from the pain meds. I have been home a couple days now though and it seems every day gets better and better. I am much more mobile now. I have this big binder thing on and under that I am all bandaged up. My doc said if I seeped through the bandages that I could change them but since I haven't I don't think I should mess with them... no matter how curious I am to see the incision or my new belly button. Right now I have no idea at all what any of my new tummy looks like. I don't appear to have any bruising as far as I can tell but I am sure that will change as time goes on. I can't imagine not having any bruising for something like this. My follow up is Monday. Hopefully my drainage will be down enough that I can have at least one of these drain tubes removed. I'll take pics as soon as there is something to see.

I am just too excited for you!! Can't wait till I am down enough to be able to even think about a tummy tuck. Looking in the mirror today...I amy need a chin tuck first...it is starting to look a little funny, maybe not my chin but the skin that hangs down from it...ya know!! Jeannie

I am so happy for you sweetie!! Let us know how your follow up goes on monday. I am so glad you are feeling a little better. Cant wait to see pictures, when ever you are ready. By this summer your tummy should look great!!!! Are you thinking of wearing any bikini? LOL- Melissa

I am so excited for you. I can't wait until it is my turn. I am probably thinking to do it around the end of August. Keep us updated with what is going on so we will know what to expect when it is our turn. Keep up the good work, Christine 307/182/150
