Becky's Tummy Tuck Video Update 4 ~Drains~

1st Post-Op the morning after surgery -- OMG, am I drugged up or what?? You'll see the nurse removing the bandages and I show off the drainage tubes. Kinda Gross! Don't watch if you're squeamish!

I had mine done 4 weeks ago & I have to wear a corset. I was wondering if you wore one?

[beckrsr]

@HowToTommy no, I didn't wear a corset -- but I wore a compression garment . . .maybe the same thing?

Oh my gosh that looks painful, how did you do it to sleep with them without smashing them?

[beckrsr]

@kimaam It was tough! But you adjust to them.  :)

so when were you able to start working out?? and what pain killers worked the best, I go for mine the 20th of this month

[beckrsr]

@rwatrych they say 6 weeks -- but I waited 6 months. Good luck to you!

Hey a quick question. When did it stop hurting real bad to cough and sneeze. Im only 2 1/2 weeks post op and boy does it hurt. The pillow thing does not work.

Hi Becky,

I am one week post op today (feels like a month!) I had this done in Germany since I am a military wife. I found out they don't believe in pain killers! Sooo, I have been "doped" up on Ibuprofen! THey took my drains out after 3 days. Hope they did the right thing. I have a doc appointment tomorrow! We'll see!

Thank you thank you thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I just had my surgery done a few days ago and I've been following your videos religiously for over a year until you posted your last one. Today I found myself looking at your old videos again for support. I'm going in for my first post-op meeting with my surgeon in two days and am excited to see my new tummy. Thank you once again. I can't say it enough!
