So now I am 2wks post-op and mainly I am just so bored with not being able to do the things I want to like walk with my friend, gardening and such, I still get really tired. But I have 0 pain and feel great. Swellings all gone and my stitches are healing nicely. One boob is a bit larger than the other but my husband said its not noticeable to him. and my tt scar is higher on one side which will show with a bikini bottom. I am still super happy with the results thus far. Hope everyone is doing great.

Loved my Dr.'s staff, very helpful working around my schedule and super nice. Dr. Caridi is so confident in himself it makes me feel very assured that I am in the right place. Had 2 other consults before selecting him. My daughter had also used him and she loved her results.

Yay for us Texans! So happy things are going so well with you! I'm really trying to do without pain meds but still need them - ugh - I've ALWAYS hated pain meds. Can't wait to be able to get back to my normal walking routine - heck, I'd be happy to be walking to the mailbox and back. :). Hope the speedy healing continues! ;) ciao!

Today I had my stitches removed from my eyes, I can tell they are going to look great. The peel still makes me look bad but hopefully will flake off in the next day or two, I am so glad I only had the under eye peel done, he was going to do around the whole eye and I chickened out at the last minute and ask for only the under. I took off all my garments today and took a shower, it was heavenly to wash my hair. The only setback is that I didn't get my drain out, I am too bloated from drinking to much liquid (didn't know that would be an issue) I was drinking LOTS of water so I could go poo ( which I did, another milestone : ) but it apparently is NOT the thing to do if you want your drain removed. So I have wait until Monday, good news is that I am totally off the pain meds and can drive, felt good to get out today for a little grocery shopping. My sister left today and my husband and son come home this evening, looking forward to seeing them but will miss the peace and quite that I believe helped so much with my speedy recovery.

Yes, I got off the pain meds 4thday after and taking OTC Tylenol and my Soma just at bedtime so I can drive. I feel great today 8days post-op. Getting the drains out makes the world of a difference. Hope all is going well with you.

My drain comes out tomorrow and I'm looking forward to lying on flat to sleep. Is anyone else having to wear a full corset, its so tight and uncomfortable and I have to wear it for another week. Its whats bothering me most now. Everyday gets better and better.
