Tummy tuck today!

Hey folks. Had my TT today. They removed 6 pounds of skin. 2 giant pieces like the one on the picture. I'll get some photos of me posted as soon as I'm able, but wanted to let everyone know it all went well.

I'm in the hospital tonight and I'll go home tomorrow. I've got 3 drains....how in the world do you folks walk around in public with these things?

The doc came in earlier and opened up the binder for a second to take a look....holy crap! I don't recognize myself. It's so unbelievable. Now let the recovery begin.

Btw not much pain right now, morphine is awesome!!!!

So this is half of what they cut out.

First hiccup today. My cat unexpectedly jumped in my lap today and promptly bit one of my drain tubes. Punctured it and rendered it useless. Not wanting to risk infection, the doc told me to just pull it out. Still have 2 drains left and this one was the least producing so not a big problem.

Feeling pretty good otherwise. Trying to not do much at all but I am able to get up and down much easier today.

OH NO!!! Glad the doc thinks all will be well!! I don't know if I would wanna pull out my OWN drain tube!!! Kuddos to you :rolleyes:
