I am three weeks out from tummy tuck and thigh reduction as of tomorrow.  Things have gone fairly well.  I have ended up with an infection on the leg that I have had issue with since day one.  I still have a drain in that leg that is still draining quite a bit so it looks like it will be a while.  I have two small openings that are leaking foul smelling pus and fluid and have been put on antibiotics....NASTY!!!!  I go back to see the Dr. on Wednesday so hope I have more information then.  I have a feeling I got the infection from all the extra fluid in that leg.  When stitching me up the Dr said he nicked a small vein so I bleed a bit more in that leg from the start.  Sometimes that extra fluid can cause infection...we will see!  I have also posted my before pictures.  I have some after pictures but they are on a different camera and I am having issues downloading them.  I will get them posted soon.

Sorry about the infection -- it seems to happen a lot with plastic surgery so I guess I am not shocked. I hope it resolves quickly and you can get that drain out of there!
