OMG the pain of a tummy tuck is unreal at times.

Oct 27, 2011

 Well had my tummy tuck Monday October 24Th, 2011. Things went well my surgeon told my family. I did have alot of loose skin my husband said 6 lbs of skin removed and I do not know how much fat. All I can say is my surgeon warned me of the pain and dam he is right. It is killer some times it hurts so bad I cant even think or here people talking. I cant sit up by my self my husband has to help me with so much sitting up getting out of bed. Cooking me food and he has to empty my drains and record the day time and how much he is draining. You just can not prepare your self for this kind of pain. I can say this pain is not as bad as my knee surgery was. But it still hurts like heck. There are times that i do not have pain when laying down which is nice but once i want to more the pain comes back. I can not wait till this is over and i start to feel better.

If he was not for my husband I could never have had this done. You need a person to take care of you for a while with this procedure. I did shower today and it looks nice I guess lol long cuts. I still say I have the best surgeon thanks Dr. H again for all your great work on me. I can not say I would tell others to do this at this point I am in pain and will tell them hell no do not get one hope in days to come I will change my mind. 

The changing of the covers on my scars is a pain in the butt. The tape hurts when being pulled off my skin and the banding i have to use sucks and than there is the binder I use ever day i think for the next 6 weeks does not feel good. I do look in the mirror and i am happy the rolls are gone and it does look better with out all that loose skin hanging so this is worth it.
