I had a tummy tuck last Monday & only overnight did I really get some back pains. I woke up in tears because trying to turn or lean or even face a different direction is causing me horrible pain. A nurse at the hospital was the only person who said anything about back pain. Since its Sunday, there is like no Dr office open & I doubt they'd want to do anything with me in this condition anyway. What should I do about the pain? I took some more pain meds & my mom is getting me a heating pad. We tried ice at first but thought that was a bad idea. I go back to the Dr tomorrow to get the last two drains taken out so I guess I can ask him for muscle relaxers if I don't feel any better by tomorrow. Any advice as to what to do for the pain is very, VERY welcome!

Gah! I am getting my tummy tuck today & I'm pretty nervous. I have to leave my house in like 10 minutes, but I thought I'd come let you guys know. I'll make sure to post some pictures as soon as I get them & feel like doing it haha. Wish me luck!

Amazing. I feel like a whole new girl. All I needed to do was get up & get out! -
Haha I know what you mean. Well, my parents insurance paid for alot of my band but my tummy tuck I just got we all selfpay. It can be rough!

It's a little better today. I don't go for another hour and a half. I'm thinking I slept wrong the other night. But I'll still let you know how things go when I get back. I think I'm going to ask for some muscle relaxers, just in case.

Hey! Thanks for those picture comments. Have you already been banded or are you still waiting? Either way your little avatar is super cute.

I'll try to find one. -
I know what you mean. So, I've been using a heating pad on my back & it feels better. Not like amazingly better, but I can actually turn & stuff. I guess I'll just keep with that until tomorrow. Thanks for talking with me. & good luck with your weight loss. You're already super cute!

Hey now! The pain is horrible, but I think it'll be worth it. Don't worry though, getting banded is nothing like a TT. It was sad at first because I just loved eating, but couldn't. After a couple months food meant less and less to me. Now, I hardly think about eating. Good luck with your band!

She thinks I need to just wait it out. We don't really know what to do. She figures I'll be fine since I go to the Dr tomorrow.

When I call the office it goes to the answering machine & says if I have a life-threatening condition, go to the hospital. Otherwise wait until Monday. Now, I don't think this is life-threatening (even if I do feel like I'm dying). A hospital visit is a little more than I think is necessary. Do you think it really could be an infection?

You look so handsome!
