1 Month Check Up

Oct 15, 2007

Hey all,  

      Well its been a whole month since my Tummy Tuck, and let me tell you its been a looong month for me, well before I start I just wanted to share that when my PS took out my 2 drains, I went to bed that night and woke up the next morning in a pool of blood and OMG!!! did I freak out!!!! My poor mother who was watching me freaked out more than I did. Could you imagine just waking up and finding that your shorts and sheets were just all bloody!! WOW. But it was just my left drain whole, it was still draining. Called the PS and he said its ok, cuz by that time the drainage has stopped. But im goin to be honest with yall. The only reason why I was draining after he took them out is because id thought id be brave and went out shopping that night that he took them out. What a duffus huh!!.

     
Ok so I saw my PS today for a 1 month checkup and he looks at it and says im doin great and goes oh well you fully heal in about 6 months we can do some lipo. Im like huh?? But hey if its free why not. So by then if I lost more body fat % maybe he will even do my theighs wooohoo!!! LOL. So ya that was a shocker, in 6 months im goin to have another surgery for Lipo. Wow sorry for the loong rambling but I just wanted to share with yall. 

Take care  =)

     Hey all, well here i am just sitting here and enjoying my pain meds, hahaha. I am now 4 days post op of my tummy tuck, and just got home from my check up with the doc. Was suppose to have my 2 drains removed but he said i still have quite a bit of liquids draining. so i need to go see him on Tue and see if they need to be removed. The surgery it self went really well, he finished sooner than he planned. Got to recovery room woke up and pain wasnt as bad as i thought it would be, like my previous surgeries when i wake from anasthesia i cant see clearly everything is blurry. so i would look around to see were im at and whos around me but of course i cant see str8. so i here the nurse callin for my room, and they say wait a lil more there is no room open. So i waited there and waited then finally got a room. My Visitors and all was already there in my room. so i was glad for that. stayed one nite and went home the next day as planned. Went home and jus plopped myself in the recliner and poopped some pills and that was it. Was stuck there unless i needed to pee, bathe, or i needed to pop more pills!!! hahaha. (yes im a baby when it comes to pain). So all is well! i got plenty pics will show you all laterz. Take care =)

      Well well were do i start? ......... k the nite before my preop lemme jus tell you that i could barely sleep! hahaha. Finally after tossing and turning allot i finally fell asleep. Next morning came and i was up super early, as soon as i opened my eyes that was it i couldnt go back to sleep. So i went to go get my mom, we were early so we ate sum breakfast. We went to this bagel place and gosh they had these stuffed bagels, its like a manapua but instead of the sweet bread on the outside it was bagel and inside of it was peanut butter and cream cheese!!!! so delish! but N E way hahahah.

     We arrived at the hospital checked in to the PS dept. and they called me right away, weighed myself and yes!!!!! i weighed 2lbs less, woooohooo!, waited in the room for the surgeon, he came in and had me change into the gown we chit chatted and he looked at me took a pic of my tummy showed it to me and i was like "Ewwwww" hahaha he said oh dont worry your gonna look like a new man in a few days. Then he marked me up, and he goes so hows that? i was like WOW i didnt think you were gonna take that much off! but hey im not complaining take it all!!! hahahaha, then i was like oh what about that lil pouch above my pubic area and i showed it to him, he goes oh i can take care of that too, i was thinking to myself wow your AWESOME!!!! so he said he can lift that part higher and if needed do some lipo on it. Aghhhhh! how xciting. Then that was it.

     Went to do labs, ugh!! they took like 9 tubes of blood, dang das allot!. That was it for that part, then had to go to admitting, admited myself so i dont need to do it on the day of surgery and then that was it for that. So all in all we were there for 4 hrs. oh i almost forgot we also went to meet the anasthesioligist and the nurse, they jus discussed things that could happen when under, and ya bla bla, lol ok and thats it sorry. Again thanx for reading and stopping by you all take care ok. =)
