It has been two weeks since my surgery.  Drainers off; pain under control for most part of the day BUT I am so swollen! is incredible but I guess "normal" under the circumstances.

I looked at myself in the mirror and was amazed! is such a big difference I am very pleased with the outcome and can't wait to heal comepletely.  Thank you Dr. Melissa Johnson:o)

I feel ok; it has been a week since my surgery; pain is under control; I have been moving around and even cooking but agrrr my legs are so swollen! wonder why? anyways today I tried to rest but end up cooking and moving around my mom's apt. where I am staying.  Feel kind of tired will go to sleep now....nite nite

Ok just came back from my first post-op visit and Dr. Johnson removed the two drainersIt feels so much better OMG! I feel free; I still have to wear the binder but is ok I just didn't like the drainers and they hurt me.  I am glad so glad they are goneLegs still swollen but surgeon said it's normal.  Will take a nice warm shower and will rest some more

Now is time to rest and get better.  I have to see Dr. Johnson in six weeks and I promise to have before and after pics then.   Dr. Johnson showed me the before pics today and I can say it is wow! such a big change already; I am very happy with the results. 

It has been five days since my tummy tuck and I am feeling ok; I am kind of concern because my legs are very swollen but other than that I feel fine.  At this point I don't feel pain but pressure which is kind of the same in my opinion.  I am still on  medication for the pain but they make me feel sick! I am trying to take them with food some crackers or something light like crackers but not helping.

I have my first post-op visit tomorrow morning and I am hoping to have my drainers removed.  They really bother me; I am emptying them three times a day  and I am recording the amount of fluids I collect. 

Well is time for a short walk and a cup of coffee or juice.  I will keep on posting.

Well it has been quiet a long time since I post anything! I have good news to share with you.  I finally had my TT on Tuesday July 7th, 2009.  I feel ok but sored and kind of tired.  Surgery went well and I stayed in the hospital  one day for ovservation.  Pain was bad, really bad.  I am taking three different kinds of meds to help me deal with the pain.  I knew it was going to hurt and I kind of prepared myself for that.

My surgeon Dr. Melissa Johnson is such a sweet heart.  I love her, and most importantly I trusted her.  Hey wonder if I can become her "poster child" LOLwell she was EXTREMELY satisfied with the results and so am I.  I know there is still a long way to go but I don't regret anything.  I know the pain will fade and I will feel better........my mom's chicken soups, my boyfriends Pablo's foot massages, and my coffee are making all the difference

I promise to keep on posting and let you know more about the whole process.   Happy Weekend!
