    I had a tt with liposuction and a breast augmentation. I paid a about 15,500 for all. I know I could have gone to Mexico for probably 1/2 the cost, but I could not bring myself or my family to do it. I took the lack of follow up into major consideration. Also I have 3 young children that I could not leave my husband stuck with for a week to 10 days. I am very happy and would do it again in a heartbeat.

    Hey everybody,

    There is some stuff called Lipo foam on the website contour md. It goes under you compression garment. First it makes it WAY more comfortable but it also makes a huge difference in the bruising. I attached a picture to show you. You can see where the foam was and where it did not cover. Btw, I don't work for the company. I had my surgery on 9/20 and the picture is of me.

    I wear loose pants and put the drain bulbs in the pockets. You can see them with a shirt on! I have one drain left that will come out Thursday. My tt was on 9/20, just 11 days ago. Feeling great!! The first maybe 4 days are the worst.

    I don't think it was an advertisement. She did not mention the dr's name or location nor did she say to message her for his name. I too do a little battle with myself about ps and it being cosmetic vs reconstructive. After 130+ loss it is definitely reconstructive!

    Ok day three in the books. Much less pain today. I'm down to taking a 1/2 of a 10/325 norco for pain. A whole one makes me sleepy. Walking is better today too. Still bent over but better. My back is sore from walking hunched over and most of the other pain is burning from the Lipo. My breasts don't hurt at all.

    So far so good. I have 2 drains and the pain is pretty well controlled on morphine pump. I have waked aleady. I got to my room last night around 7. My surgery was at noon. We will see how it is when they stop the pump. I have not seen my incision yet but I will when the doc comes in.

    Thanks all! I do feel great! I have lots if extra skin... My Bali cami does a great job hiding the skin. My arms aren't too bad but I don't think I will be wearing sleeveless too often. My stomach is really bad due to the weight, a set if full term twins and a third child. I can't wait for my tt in September!
