cannot wait!!!
hi all ! just wanted to vent a little about my drain , its getting on my last nerve! Irritating and its starting to pull really bad, im hoping tomorrow when i see my surgeon that he says he can remove it. im still changing fluids 2 to 3 times a day and each time its always 25 or more cc in it. As far as my new tummy , im healing great but i notice there is like a small pouch thats really swollen in the middle of my stomach thats there and it scares me. My surgeon said that its normal and the swelling will go down eventually but it sticks out and it bothers me that this will never go away, i guess i cant complain much as this week will make me 3 weeks post op. Has anyone ever had this after a tummy tuck??? just womndering, cause ive seen so many post op pictures of people thats 2 weeks and ive never seen this although i know everyone is different.
I don't blame you about the drain. I had one in particular that would bug me. It was my right arm drain, it didn't have a clip that I could use to clip on my clothes. So it would just hang towards the floor and always get caught on stuff. I finally got my last drain out yesterday and I still go to move it out of the way when I dress, I guess I was so used to having it for o long Its hard to realize that's it's gone:) But the drain is in you best interest, I would rather have a drain for longer than develop excess fluid build up later. As for the swelling in your stomach, I am sure it's normal. I was warned about it before my surgery. It takes a long time before you see your final results. Hang in there, it will only get better.
