*EDITED* I HAVE ADDED PICS IN A LOWER POST PLEASE DONT LOOK FURTHER IF THESE PICS MAY OFFEND YOU.

Hi everyone,

First off thanks for all the messages and phone calls.

Anyway, from the beginning. I arrived at the hospital at 6.30am and

was notified that it would be about 9am when I went in. I was taken

down and drawn on and my surgeon ended up lipoing the back of my

upper arms, my back fat and flanks. I had a breast lift without

implants and an extended tummy tuck with aggresive muscle repair. I

woke up in the most pain I have ever been in my life. I had a pain

pump and was told to use that when needed. I pushed it constantly the

first night. It is all pretty much a blur. The next day I asked for

the pain pump to be taken off as it was sending me loopy...I hate

that feeling...so they took that off and put me on digesics. They got

me up out of bed which was like OMG, I actually cried it hurt so

much. After getting up I felt so much better and that was the

beginning of it. I showered and started walking bit by bit.

Day 3 they came and took my drains out, some say it doesnt hurt some

say it does. I say OMG I nearly passed out. Good thing is that the

pain only lasts for a few seconds then stops...but that few seconds

is like agony.

Once my drains were out they couldnt keep me down. I stopped taking

the pain meds through the day and walked as much as I could. I wanted

to be ready when I left hospital and not be so useless.

I had and still have alot of sweeling from the lipo and I have a

garment covering my arms, then another one that covers from boobs to

upper thighs. It is really tight and is uncomfortable at times but

when I take it off to shower it feels weird, so at the moment I

prefer it on.

Since getting out of hospital I have had a run in with the toilet and

constipation like you have never heard off, I actually passed out in

pain and thought I was going to die.

As for my results I am really happy so far. I still have huge

swelling so cant see the actual results properly yet, but seeing my

boobs on my chest with nipples pointing up and a tummy that doesnt

cover my pinny and thighs is an amazing feeling for me. I have never

had this in my whole life and it I tell ya is worth everything I have

and am going through with the recovery.

Pain - I say 9/10 the first day - then 3/10 after that.

I dont feel pain my boobs just discomfort actually like when your

milk comes in when you breastfeed, that is the exact feeling.

I have no pain in the TT insicion just in the upper abs where they

did the MR, and that feels like you have done 1000000000 sit ups.

I do have pain from the lipo, which has been the worst of it all, so

if you have the op done without it I really dont think for me it

would have been painful much at all. The lipo feels like I have been

kicked and beaten for hours and my body is covered in bruises...which

it is.

They took 3.8kgs off my belly and 3 kgs in lipo which is about 15lbs. No difference on the scales, infact I am heavier than they day of the op which is to be expected with all the swelling and fluid retention.

Anyway thats all for now, I am going to try and work out how to show

you the pics as I am feeling paranoid about posting them for the

world to see. Ill think of something really soon.

Hugs

Kel xxxxxxx

You look great! I'm really happy to see the swelling on your tummy go down so much! Thank you again SO MUCH for sharing all these pictures with us!

Thanks everyone, had a little setback. Dr said I could resume exercise now so I went on a 12km bike ride and split my incision open a bit in a spot. Has been leaking alot but is starting to slow down, am on antibiotics just to be sure. I will never learn :bananadoggywow:

Just a favour to ask, I would love to have like a thing where all my pics from before to now are side by side or something so I can show my family and put it on my site. Does anyone know how to do that. I have played around in photoshop and I cant work it out, anyone want to let me know how or be a loving kind person and do it for me :bananadoggywow:

Thanks again

I'll be happy to do it, Kel! Give me an excuse to look at 'em all again!

Do you want before/after of each view side-by-side? Or are you trying to get all of them together? (They'll be small if we do that.)

Let me throw some together & see what you think. :bananadoggywow:

I'll post the clothed ones & PM you the nudes. :grouphug: Can I just say WOW!!!

OMG we have the same body! LOL or at least my body is starting to look like your pre ps body. I know I'm going to need a tummy tuck...and I may just continue to roll up the old boobies ...they look fine in a bra. LOL

HOLY CRAPOLA, BATMAN! What did they do with the rest of Kellie?????? I am so totally floored, Kel. You are a babe! Congratulations to YOU!!!!!!
