My Tuck,Lipo,Lift with Dr. LoMonaco - Experience!!!
Well Im now 4 days out and must say the pain gets better each day. I notice that the tiniest of accomplishments are exciting!
Yesterday I peed for the first time without having to have the faucet going. I also farted once.
I got my first "shower" which felt SOOOO good!
I did have to call surgeon about my tube and its' collapsing which I was told was okay. And it also leaked around the opening a little.
Last night I had ambien for the first time to help me to sleep...WHOAAAA......Dude that was trippy. I haven't had experiences like that since I was a teen. I was seeing double and apparently was up for 3 hours trying to catch the lights and talking about how there was 2 of everything. Weird! Will try just half of one next tme and go straight to sleep!
Swelling is definatly in full swing - though the most of it is between my boobs and tummy (ribcage area that isn't covered by binders) so my ribcage is abnormally large. Other than that Im doing pretty swell (pun intended). I am looking forward to follow up and lymphatic massage though!
