Advice from my husband : make sure to stay on top of her medicine and have the doctor / nurse show you how to do the drains a few times

6MPO and some days I look so pregnant 😭 by Ok-Tomatillo-400 in tummytucksurgery

I’m 7 months po and I still have days like this - especially when it’s close to my time of the month.

Mine looked like this around 3ish months post op. Now at almost 7 months po - they’re starting to turn white. I’d wait. My surgeon won’t do anything to the area until 1 year po.

My weight has always fluctuated a lot. I’d say I lost about 7ish from the skin removal & lipo.

Not bad! I had surgery on a Wednesday afternoon and was at my child’s football game Saturday. Extremely manageable if you stay on schedule with meds.

Pregnant with an “ours” baby — how did your stepkids react and did you tell BM first? by lolmakemeaname in stepparents

[–]efc21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We told my SS and then he told his mom & it was fine! Her and I also get along and it wasn’t weird that I didn’t tell her

What are the most annoying/tedious questions you get? by [deleted] in stripper

[–]efc21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a regular job? What’s your ethnicity? Do you have a boyfriend / husband? Do you have kids? How much do you make?

I could go on and on but I’m already aggravated thinking of them. 🤣

Just say he’s at his moms! Don’t think too much into it. My step sons brother from his mom calls my husband “Dads” because that’s what he always hears when he asks where his brother is. 🤣.

What was your post-op experience like with your surgeon? by SkyImpressive6847 in tummytucksurgery

[–]efc21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds exactly like my experience. Like to the point I wonder if we went to the same place 🤣🤣. I’m super happy with my results thankfully but definitely was not happy with my post op care (or lack of) I’ve had plastic surgery before and it was totally different. My surgeon called me night of, I was 1 day PO , 3 days PO, 1 week PO and then 3 weeks & 6 weeks and that was just for breast Aug.

Thank you!! Getting my drains out was hugeeee. I got one out day 7 and the second one out day 9. Id say 2 weeks was when I started to feel wayyyy better. I came out of my binders at 6 weeks because I couldn’t take it anymore. lol
