I had a panniculectomy, abdominoplasty and bilateral thigh lift on Wednesday. Stayed overnight at the hospital and came home Thursday. I'm in a lot of pain but that's basically what I expected. Taking my pain meds as prescribed and doing everythinh slowly. Post op appt is Tuesday afternoon, hope drains are pulled!

When am I going to start feeling okay? I am still in a lot of pain, I dread going to the bathroom, I'm hot and my knees, legs and feet are swollen. I am also itchy! Please tell me this will all be worth it!

It WILL be worth it - trust me.  The first few weeks are the toughest.  If you continue to be hot (in surgical areas?) I'd ask my Dr about that.  I didn't have swelling in my knees, legs and feet, but I also didn't have my thighs done.  

Do you have drains?
