Thank you... It;s been fine, just don't do too much too early ! Rest, lots of Protein, fluids and sleep .

I also had my upper and lower eyes done plus my boobs - which are now AMAZING lol

Thigh lift later in the year then im finished. Having to go private in the UK doesn't come cheap.

My eyes are still very swollen and tight but no pain at all, even right after the op which surprised me!

Kate

Oh my gosh I'm so jealous!!! I want my boobs done. I JUST said yesterday that I look like a little boy because i'm seriously flat chested now...I've had mosquito bites that are bigger than my boobs! I can't afford the extra 5k right now so i suppose I'll just have to live with being the president of the itty bitty titty comity.

I was the opposite.. Far too big, hanging down and now they are the same as they were before having kids and losing over 100 llb in weight. Will add pics later.

Good luck for next week ????

Thank you ShinyLady I never had bags under my eye pre VSG. I lost a lot of fat from my face, hence the bags. I am really glad I had the eyes done.

You look amazing! I just turned 30 and am noticing puffiness/bags under my eyes where they're were none before surgery. I thought it was just me not getting sleep. My sister noticed too. I hope it doesn't get any worse. Im still getting carded lol.

I was quite shocked about my eyes, I have never had bags before and was always told I didn't look my age. Each day they feel less 'tight' but they are still swollen a little. My daughter in law is 31 and she still gets asked for ID !! lol

When is the big day? :)

@@_Kate_ Surgery is Friday! I am so excited!!! A little nervous about the pain. My doc says no heavy lifting or big movements for a month. Hopefully my husband will vacuum during that time ;)

Whohoooo not long Linda.

I am 4 weeks out on Monday and went for my first long walk today with the dog (about an hour across farmland) and now I hurt lol. I kept having to remind the hubster to slow down.

Don't worry about the house, when you have visitors and they ask if you need anything let them clean! lol.

Kate

Be prepared for swelling and make sure you wear your binder day and night.

Thanks Kate!! I'll take it easy!
