9 Days Post Op from Tummy Tuck

Hi All, Just wanted to let everyone know I am doing great, my incisions are healing very well, I have reduced my pain killer intake and I even went out to dinner for the first time last night! I am doing great and I can do about 80% of my daily activities on my own!!!! Just wanted to thank everyone for their kind words of encouragement! And just one word of advice about doing this! If you going to do it, make sure your at top physical condition, it really helps speed up the healing process. I have been working out 4 - 5 times a week for the last 3 months and if I hadn't, I would still need A LOT more help then I need now! Again, just a big thank you to everyone! Ilyssa

Ilyssa, I'm glad to hear that you are doing so well. It's amazing that 9 days out you are feeling like you're at 80% capacity. It is a good reminder that being in good physical shape makes a huge difference in recuperative power. Keep up the good work. Post pics when you're up to it! Amy

Thanks Amy! I actually decided not to take too many pics, who wants to be reminded of the old Ilyssa???? I will have a few, but I am not going crazy with them! I have the before pics the doctor took and once she takes the stiches out I will do some afters, but thats it. But I promise to put some up! Thanks so much! Ilyssa

I'm very happy for you! Working out 4-5 times a week? WOW!

Thanks so much! Yeah let me tell you it's hard, but it really is paying off!!!!! I go at 5am before work and it's hard, but it's worth it, as specially since its making my recovery so much easier!!!! Ilyssa
