May 12, 201610 yr Go and get it "off", my friend! How exciting. --expecting a full disclosure. Prayers going up for a safe surgery and an easy recovery.
May 14, 201610 yr Best of luck! Please take it very gently the first week. It is a bit painful for many, but rest assured it looks and feels good for a long time. Keep posting. I want to know how it is going (when you are up to it). The hard part is over IMO [emoji171]
May 14, 201610 yr Author Thanks everyone! Im home. Having some pain but taking it easy. Won't see anything until Monday at doc office when he takes off the bandages

May 22, 201610 yr Author Popular Post Hi everyone! Its been a week. Ive mostly been itchy rather than in pain so that was frustrating. But doctor said I could take benadryl. I finally have my routine together. Pain meds and something to drink within reach lol. I've certainly gotten some restriction back since i haven't had too much of an appetite and with my abdomen pulled tight. Still swollen and healing. Time will tell how the final look will be but my boobs look good. All round and perky. [emoji3] I have one drain for the abdomen. Thought the drain thing would be hard but its not too bad. Its pinned to my compression garment and i empty it a couple times a day.

Good for you!! I'd love to get things done like this, but am not so bad that it's medically necessary, and definitely not something in the budget. I'm so happy for you! Hope the itching stops and you get to enjoy the new look as it emerges from bandages and swelling.
Tummy tuck and breast lift today. Wish me luck! [emoji2]
