Here I am one day short of 2 weeks post-op from my tummy tuck. The Dr removed 12 pounds of skin and told me I happened to have the honor of being the patient he's removed the most skin off of in one surgery. He went and looked it up to make sure.I had 1 drain and all stitches removed on Tuesday. Boy oh boy, did it make a difference. I really can't say anything has been painful, just very uncomfortable. Once the stitches came out it was nice not to have then being irritated by the binder.
Today should be my last full day of house arrest. After surgery my orders were to sit around read a good book or watch "chick flicks," sounds wonderful until you have to do it! Dr said not moving much would help the skin he lifted to re adhere. I guess he knows what he's doing as of today I'm down 15 pounds and really don't have much swelling. It seems to reach it's worst early evening and that's when I'm the most uncomfortable. It's always in my pubic area and I'm sure that's because of the drains. Tomorrow I have an 11:00AM appointment and hopefully the remaining 2 drains are removed.
Yesterday I put on a T-shirt that I've worn on a regular basis the last few months, it just hung on me! Guess it's close to time to clean the closet and go shopping!
