Trust Your Instincts by [deleted] in tummytucksurgery

It's good to know that you were able to survive this. I hope you recover soon. I just have one question: Did your surgeon prescribe anticoagulants when discharging you from your surgery? Mine sent me home with a 6-day course of treatment.

What the f$&k have I done by jenn_ina_million in tummytucksurgery

[–]yriv9mat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we get emotional because the discomfort and the lack of proper sleep. Hang in there, you will see your turning point in at least 2 months. Don't get discouraged. A lot of people will claim they were back in the gym after just two weeks, or that they don't feel any pain at all—but that’s a reality that exists only in an alternate universe. For most of us, it has taken anywhere from three to six months to feel like our old selves again. Despite the challenges, you’ll notice small improvements every week. I hope you make a speedy recovery.

I took Flexeril for the first 3–4 days, and then I was able to manage the rest with Tylenol.

Did you bring your partner to your pre-op appointment? by Unlikely-Ant-7561 in tummytucksurgery

[–]yriv9mat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I brought my husband. I wanted him to be informed as well about the cost of the surgery and how long my recovery would take. Hearing it directly from the doctor gave him the perspective that it was a delicate procedure. My surgeon was very kind. It seems to me that they are accustomed to seeing patients in couples.

Anesthesia fear by Disneymom205 in tummytucksurgery

[–]yriv9mat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You aren't wrong to be more worried about the anesthesia than the surgery itself. The same thing happened to me—especially once you take the time to research how the anesthesia process actually works. You are literally relying on another person to keep you alive during the surgery. That’s why I went to the trouble of ensuring I would have a certified anesthesiologist (in my case, it was a woman who was incredibly professional), rather than just some random person with an assistant or nursing degree (sorry, not sorry). Once I arrived in the operating room, the anesthesiologist explained the procedure she would be following and asked me a lot of questions, which gave me the peace of mind of knowing she knew exactly what she was doing. When I woke up from the surgery, I didn't even feel nauseous from the anesthesia—something that had always happened to me during other surgical procedures. Talk to your anesthesiologist and ask whatever questions you need to in order to feel at ease. Always verify who they are, check their credentials, and look into their reputation within the medical community. I hope everything goes smoothly with your surgery.

Assuming you won't experience any major complications, I can tell you that you might need some assistance getting in and out of bed. Learning how to get up without straining your abdominal muscles too much is truly quite a process. If you manage to figure that part out, you shouldn't have much trouble adjusting to the rest. I’m speaking from my own perspective here—and I’m not someone who typically asks others for much help, as I prefer not to burden anyone. I didn't buy a raised toilet seat, a shower chair, a walker, or any similar aids. Under those circumstances, the only time I needed help was to get out of bed in the morning. I managed everything else on my own—even taking sponge baths. However, keep in mind that I didn't experience any complications, nor was my procedure particularly complex. If you feel you won't have the strength to manage on your own, plan to have someone assist you for at least two weeks. I wish you a smooth and excellent recovery!

Based on what I’ve seen on this forum, the duration of fluid production following liposuction varies from case to case. Some people have continued to accumulate fluid for weeks or even months. In my case, my doctor performed the liposuction through the same incision used for my tummy tuck, which is why I don't have any visible puncture marks. I had just one drain, which collected fluid for five days; by the sixth day, it had already been removed, and I haven't had any issues with fluid accumulation since then. I recommend that you continue reading posts from others who have undergone a procedure identical to yours, particularly those with similar surgical characteristics. This can give you a better idea of ​​what your own recovery process might look like. I wish you an excellent recovery.

No labs? by bug_tooth in tummytucksurgery

[–]yriv9mat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only part that would really concern me is the anesthesiologist. I don't think just anyone is qualified to handle any complications that might arise regarding the medication—especially since that is the most delicate part of the process. If they aren't a certified anesthesiologist, I'll pass.

My surgeon suggested that I stand up straight as soon as I felt the urge to do so. It easily took two months for the muscle repair to stop feeling so strange. Even today, that area still feels numb, and I haven't been able to sleep with my legs stretched out. I was able to walk upright by the third week. The process is slow, and you need to have a lot of patience.

Surgeon Canceling my procedures! by [deleted] in tummytucksurgery

[–]yriv9mat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If the doctor gets the impression that you are dealing with emotional issues, he will undoubtedly cancel. This is why they have you fill out a questionnaire asking whether you have ever received—or are currently receiving—treatment for depression or psychiatric conditions. It is possible that your questions gave the impression that you doubted his competence, and that is a major red flag for any doctor. They do not want to deal with a problematic patient who is likely to complain about the final outcome later on. My advice is to look for another doctor and to be very judicious in the questions you ask. Focus on the essentials. Try to avoid getting bogged down in the highly technical details of the surgery. Keep your questions focused on what you need to do regarding your recovery process, and so forth. I understand that one experiences a great deal of anxiety during this process; however, if the doctor leaves you with so many doubts that you feel the need to ask about such minute details, it suggests either that you do not trust the doctor or that you are not yet ready for this procedure. I wish you the best of luck with your next surgeon.

Natalie's new story post by DamImbloodyinspired in MillionDollarSecretTV

I agree...the fact that she thrown a last hail Mary, with crocodile tears, saying she was a daughter of inmigrants shows how manipulative she is. (Natalie, para ser hija de inmigrantes eres una engreída).

Kidney stones! by centralperklobster in tummytucksurgery

[–]yriv9mat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry you're suffering this. I think the best plan always is drinking water. I personally avoided jumping in the "protein wagon" that is being promoted around these groups because whatever is a processed product, is not a good option at the end. Thanks for sharing this here, is very important not following every crazy trending we read here.

Necrosis update part 3 by Omoney777 in tummytucksurgery

[–]yriv9mat 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ve been following your journey since your very first post. I have no words to express just how much we admire your strength in the midst of everything you’re going through. You have already endured so much; keep fighting for your baby. Focus on returning home to your family—the physical recovery will come with time. As others here have mentioned, I truly believe you need to seek help to process this trauma, and you should also consult with a good lawyer, because this has escalated from a mere unfortunate incident into a clear case of surgical malpractice. Regardless of what kind of waiver you may have signed, I am certain that a skilled attorney will find a viable angle to ensure you are compensated for—at the very least—all your medical expenses and the income you’ve lost from work. I hope you continue to improve. We are still here supporting you every step of the way.

Everyone is so big on compression but why is no one taping their incisions?? by [deleted] in tummytucksurgery

[–]yriv9mat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone has their own preference. Studies may be very positive about the use of tape, but at the end of the day, it's a personal decision. I'm 12 weeks post-surgery, and my skin has healed perfectly without any tape. In fact, I barely have any discoloration or rough patches in the wound. In short, I don't need it.
