Thank you!!

Well it's nearing my 3 month mark! Can't believe it! Just went and spent a crap-load of $$ at Victoria's Secret today! Finally starting to feel "normal" and enjoying my new self!

Here is one from the first few days... Sorry I couldn't find one of my incisions that doesn't show my hoo-ha!! LoL but you can see that the "droop" on my thighs are gone also, for those that are wondering, my incision go basically from my TT scar down each side of my groin to under each buttcheak.

Congrats on getting your surgery!
I recommend:
-definitely 24/7 help! For the first week at the minimum
-thick maxi-pads (these are cheaper than the ABD pads they put on you after surgery and your wounds will weep for few days, plus they are absorbent too!)
-LOTS of antibiotic ointment!! I'm talking like multiple tubes of it! And I found it to be cheaper if you get the target/Walmart/dollar store brands. Can't even tell you how much of this goop I've used in the last 6 months!! Haha
-LOTS of non-stick pads. These are kind of like gauze pads, but they will not stick you incisions when they are trying to scab up. I used these once the majority of the draining was gone. And just like the antibiotic ointment, cheaper at Walmart/target/dollar stores.
-an extra abdominal binder. It will get dirty and you have to (and most like will WANT to keep it on for at least the first 4 weeks), it was nice to have a spare while washing the other
-female urinal would be nice, but not a necessity (I only wish I had one after my tummy tuck--thank god my doctor put in a catheter for the first night!!, but I really needed after my thigh-lift)
-maybe prepare a couple of frozen meals ahead of time so you don't have to worry about cooking for a few weeks
Good luck! Can't wait to read about your results!

I used medicalfinancing.com... But I have good credit (just too much :-/) & my Internet rates are insane... Totally worth it to me though

So I had my tummy-tuck, breast-lift, and mini brachioplasty on January 8. Everything healed great, but then I wanted to get my legs "fixed", so I did on Thursday, may 9. It's fairly uncomfortable, but definitely nothing compared to my surgery in January! I will try to get some before & after pics posted soon!

I know you can't see too much there, once I can take the bulky pads off and put on panties I will share a better one!
If anybody has experience with this surgery and have any helpful suggestions and tips, please share with me! Thank you all!
