Have you checked out my pictures on my make me heal link???? I am waiting to take anymore scar pictures.He said I have 3 layers of dissolvable sutures so it will flatten out but it freaks be out!! Plus my recovery has been a litte "backwards" I now feel like crap ,all my lipo areas were numb for so long I can now feel them and It is very hard to stand up straight.It just feels weird,tight,and very uncomftorable.I am in the what the hell did I do stage!!! I am going on vacation monday..hopefully relaxing so hopefully I will feel better next week. I will update picture then.My bellybutton is looking ALOT better!!Take Care!

Hey Mommi-hammi,my scar is "ridged" also...do you have a picture??

Hope you are nice and drugged up! LOL

I think I accidently deleted the link..those Damn Vicodin!!!:biggrin: Just put it back up so hopefuly it will work

I am so happy for you.You will love it.Take your meds and try and walk.Trying to type while on drugs is the funniest!!!Can't wait to see pictures,I know you will be proud ~Amy~

I posted this under plastics but thought I would post it here also. 3/07 226# 2/08 145#

Heres one for you:sneaky:

I did not have the luxury of the pain pump but I did take 2valium and 2percocet round the clock!Needless to say I was not in much pain unless i needed to get up to move positions.It felt more like I had been beaten with a baseball bat! I can truley say that I think Lap-band hurt worse because of the gas pains. I still have my 2 drains and they have not given me a bit of trouble.Just the back ,i felt way to good yesterday and even drove to the bank.Needless to say I learned my lesson!I am fixing to take my to vicodin and hopefully have some comfortable sleep:tongue_smilie:I got your PM and will call when I get to go up there without having to hurry back to get kids from school! I do not remember seeing pre or post op pictures of you?????Take care!

Good Luck tomorrow.After they started my IV they gave me my happy med (Versed) and I danced with my Dr to the OR.It was quiet comical!! My prayers will be with you ,it will be over before you know it.

I forgot you were just a few days ahead of me.I am still not standing up straight.I had my sister take a backside picture and you can tell how hunched I still am.my Doctor does not want me to stand up straight for 2weeks. How are you feeling?? My incisions just burn but I am up and walking and doing too much at this point.Drives me nuts to just sit here.I go back on the 6th for my stiches to be removed.I am hoping my drains can come out before then.Hope you are doing well....~Amy~

Thanks Jachut....I would have never worn that bathingsuit in public,I actually just bought it for a before and after picture.

Thanks everyone....I tanned several weeks prior to surgery because i knew it would be awhile before this body saw daylight!

Actually they removed 40cc out of each implant and lifted them.I had implants that were a DD that were saggy from nursing kiddos.I think they will end up a large C cup.I LOVE them right now!!!.My bellybutton has stiches inside.My Doctors trademark is is "great " bellybuttons.I had seen so many pictures of awful bellybutton scars I had got myself freaked out before he reassured me .

Thanks! I was worried about posting it because it is YUK but it just amazed me what plastics can do(Plus I have a little Percocet bravery LOL!).I can't even imagine what it will look like when i am healed.

This was just a WOW moment on what a difference a couple of days make!

I have definatly sp?been entertainment for my 9yr old.She just asked me if I was on drugs and I said yes...well the good kind:tongue_smilie:I quess there was not a right answer for that!!

Actually my lipo does not hurt at all,he injects lidocaine when he lipos so they are still numb.My boobs and MR is what hurts the worse.It is just very hard to move and get comfortable with the lack of using my stomach or arm muscles.I am trying to take my meds round the clock.As long as I have someone to help with the kids,why hurt:huh2:

LOL! That was my bigest fear was dying on the table so needles to say I was very happy when I was "Alive".My surgery took almost 6hrs.He also took 2lbs of fat off of each thigh.Of coarse my scales are saying I am heavier than before I went under.I knew better but was just curious.Now it is just sit and wait for the swelling to go down!

Kacee,I will PM you when I am not so drugged! LOL But he was the best.He sat next to me in the OR and held my hand until I fell asleep.He also sent two of his nurses with me and my husband to our hotel room to get settled in.He also came and saw me at my hotel room Sat so we would not have to stay till Monday.He is truly a sweetheart.As far as his work goes,only time will tell but he was WONDERFUL otherwise....oh and he brought a shot of Demerol/Phenergran to give me Sat and he was going to help pack our car and get me in if we deciced to leave SAt.I wish all Doctors were this kind!!!!

I AM ALIVE!!!That is the 1st thing I said when I woke from surery! LOL.Just wanted to give my update.I do feel like i have been beaten with a baseball bat!! I LOVE my boobs!! He was able to remove 40cc fom each implant....I wanted them a little smaller.I am hoping my belly is just swollen :roll: My Doctor and nurses were WONDERFUL!!!Anyway we just got home so I need to get organized and take some more Drugs!LOL Thanks for all the prayers...Amy I posted some pictures on my makemeheal link

Hello guys! I am getting very nervous:scared2: I have pretty much been "Nesting" this week.We are leaving tommorrow to stay the night in Houston.I still can't believe it is almost time!Please say a quick prayer for me!!!!

Mine were 15 inches when I had lapband they were the Last thing to go but they are now 9.5 inches.

I have a horrible sweet tooth and my brain is ALWAYS telling me I need something sweet,especially around that time of the month.I simply can't keep anything sweet in the house.I buy fruit bars/oatmeal pies..snacks that I do not like for the kids.I eat popcorn alot when I am craving a snack.......I did have a box of chocolate covered almonds earlier:mad:(my kids are selling them) My excuse...is't there tons of protein in Almonds:wink2: It a constant battle in my brain!!!!

Glad to hear you are doing well:smile:

My plastic surgeon is going to reposition mine.It only sticks out when I am lying flat.I think he does this with most of his lap band tummy tucks?
