OMG TUMMY TUCK 48 hrs later

OK Well I did it yes my tummy tuck and trust and believe the lap band is a cake walk compared to this shi**. I know it will be worth it when its all said and done. I can bearly walk i have pain every where (only when i move) I am uncomfortable can this thing be any tighter. I just want to look up and its a month later please let this time fly. i really prepared myself for this (i thought) but I guess you could never really psych yourself out when it co9mes to this type of pain.
