Nov 8th I had my Tummy tuck/hernia repair surgery. I am pleased with the results and glad I did it. I got my drians out after 2 weeks, I think I should have had them another week had I had it to do over again. I have some fluid build up on my tummy tuck area. Dr says this will go away in time, although its very uncomfy. I have been wearing my binder as told and have not done any lifting. I really never had any pain..Thanks to the darvocet! Seriously it really didn't hurt just as dr F. said. Tomarrow I'm going to go to a seminar and show off and answer any questions people may have. I really believe in my surgeon and would recomend him to anyone! I'm glad I went full circle and had the tuck after the weightloss. I'm about 235 now, still bloated a bit, and very happy with my body.
