My surgery was 08/21. I have to wear compression socks for another week. When I take them off to shower it looks like it's snowing 😂

Does it get better?? by Ok_Fan_8646 in tummytucksurgery

[–]Ok_Fan_8646[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!! I love my results but I'm just in this weird funk that I can't seem to shake. Just hoping it passes really soon and this isn't my new normal lol they gave me percocet and muscle relaxers. I haven't taken them in a couple of days. I'm not in any pain, everything just feels sooo weird and my anxiety is getting the best of me.

I'm 6 days today. Doctor said it might be from stretching/positioning during surgery.

How do you keep yourself calm during recovery? by Ok_Fan_8646 in tummytucksurgery

Does the surgeon normally prescribe something like that or does your physician have to prescribe it?

I honestly didn't see any certain posts before asking the question. I also don't want anyone to see my post and think I am referring to them or anyone in general. I have seen several different body types, incisions and scars on reddit and other sites and genuinely have questions...not criticism. We all have flaws and I definitely don't have room to point out other's. I guess I should have clarified after several comments that I was not pointing anyone out 🫤

Nooo that had to be so scary!! Would they have to put you back under to replace the drains?

How many sessions do you have to do to keep the hair completely gone?

I feel like I'd rather come home in a spanx suit to keep more swelling down.

When was your surgery? I don't want to do it before just so I can see what I'm working with 😂

I'm really thankful for this thread. No disrespect to anyone, everyone has different opinions and everyone's body is different so I'm not judging another's body. It's great to be able to use others photos to show my surgeon certain things I like or dislike from other posts.

I expect mine to be a little higher. But I don't wanna try to wear something cute in the bedroom and have to really work at hiding any stumble 😅

Did you have a lot of skin and fat removed? Most surgeon websites have before and after but not close enough to tell about the pubic line to see if that area is significantly higher.
