    Default Drains out

    Thank g-d my drains are out!!!! Took 1 day shy of two weeks to get them both out. Immediately I feel better. Less drained more mobile and comfy.

    Dr says healing very well. I do not like not being in my compression garments. They said I don't have to wear on my arms as there was nothing but skin removed but I am more comfy wearing one so I do. I have more discomfort from the arms than the tummy.

    I hate not having the tummy garment on and have been taking short showers so I can get it back on quick. The swelling is down a lot but still very puffy.

    Can't wait to see final results!!

    I know a lady who had a tummy tuck years and years and years ago and still wears her compression garment.

    Drains are the worst! I came home with three after a mastectomy and one stayed in for six weeks! I cant tell you the times I pulled that sucker. Hurt like the dickens. Arms are something I know I need....I dont know which is worse, batwings or the gobbler:-) Glad youre on the mend.

    Had tummy tuck and arms two weeks ago today.

    I feel so so much better without the drain. I only needed pain pulls for the first 3 days. Not even Tylenol since them. I did have a pain pump installed at surgery for tummy and can only assume it made the world of difference. Best 1000 I think I ever spent.

    I can already see amazing improvement but been two weeks out today still have swelling.

    I also need to do my inner thighs done. Thinking maybe December

    The turkey neck is not as bad as it was so gonna try to live with it.
