Tummy tuck today!

That's great! You will look and feel great!

I wear loose pants and put the drain bulbs in the pockets. You can see them with a shirt on! I have one drain left that will come out Thursday. My tt was on 9/20, just 11 days ago. Feeling great!! The first maybe 4 days are the worst.

Congrats bro! I hope you recover fast!

wowsa - that is just awesome!!!!

So, the latest in drainwear .... The ever stylish fanny pack makes a great drain carrier. Then, there is a wear loose clothes and stuff em in pockets. Since you didn't have a boob or arm job, you don't have upper ones, but for drains high up, people connect them to lanyards worn around the neck and hide them under loose clothes.

I am getting the works done in 2 weeks so have done my "drain carrying" research. I expect to have NINE drains...omg! I think I will need 2 fanny packs and a lanyard...LOL

Wow! 9 drains. Poor girl.

I put my drains under my binder at the top. I would leave the top of the binder a little lose and tuck them in there. My boobs helped hide the bump they made but since your a man that probably won't work for you!

On MFP they said there will soon be shirtless beach pics. Just so you know, I'm holding you to it and waiting patiently for those. That's really the only reason I want to follow this thread

Glad you're done with it.

[Butterthebean 8,146]

Yeah there are some crazy hungry folks on MFP apparently.

Right now I've got a belly binder on that I'm pretty sure was used to get witches to confess back in the dark ages. Not to mention 3 funtastic drains that are grossing me out. But I just got home from the hospital and all is well. Not much pain at the moment, but that could be due to the same pills that are making me see 3 computer keyboards at the moment. I keep telling myself....it's the one in the middle Butter.

Yep you won't be able to eat much for a while. Heb's mootopia has been my friend. I think I am as restricted as I was before 6 months out from my sleeve.

Yep...he's got me on 2 stool softeners and he told me to add Miralax and Fiber one to everything.

Hope you are feeling well! (The skin pics were cool and freaky all at the same time!) Looking forward to seeing your results. How has your pain level been and your ability to move around? Do you feel that you have needed a lot of help during the first few days after surgery?

[TheRealMeIsHere! 863]

It's creepy right? The surgeon took that. I've got this image now of the surgeon and nurses taking selfies during the operation with me cut open in the background. Talk about the ultimate photobomb.

LMAO!! Glad you are doing well. I'll be in your shoes on the 17th,
