I am so happy, I went to doc today and out came the drains!  The left one just felt weird, but the right one hurt like heck!!  I feel so much better with them out.  Like a new woman.  He was very happy with my progress.  I have no bruising at all and the swelling actually went down a lot...the doc was actually shocked. 
When I was laying on the exam table I happend to look over at the door and there was a mirror on it.  I had to do a triple take to make sure it was actually me laying on the table... with a flat stomch!!  OMG I wanted to die!
As soon as I came home..In the shower I went and in the washer went the garment...
Today has been a good day

Yes, I am still feeling tight and swollen.  I have a little pot belly from the swelling, which the doc said is completely normal and will go away.  But still so much better than all that skin!
