2 weeks post-op TT

Jan 26, 2009

Last posting I was talking about going to see Dr. DiNick for a tummy tuck. Well, for personal reasons, I decided against him and never did end up going to a consulation for him. I instead chose Dr. Hing out of Barix. I am very pleased and satisfied by my decision. Dr. Hing is the best surgeon, of any kind, that I have ever met in my entire life.

I got 2 of the 3 drains out at 7 days, and the third drain came out at 10 days. My next appointment is in just over a week to get my stitches taken out. My incisions are healing fabulously, with one tiny exception: just below my belly button a little spot is draining fluids. I'm hoping this stops soon as it's so very annoying!

Dr. Hing's nurse told me that many people don't see the loss (the total weight of the skin and fat cut out during surgery) for a long time, but I've been fortunate there. Dr. Hing cut out 4.5 pounds, and I've already lost 10 pounds since surgery day. Yay!

I'm very very happy with my results so far. Obviously, I'm still swelled up and it will be a while until the swelling goes away. But my overall shape is so very curvy and beautiful. Recovery has been harder and longer than I thought it would be, but I've got at least two more weeks off work so I'm taking things slowly.

Dr. Hing, I love you!!  =)
