3 month post op photos - Mexico

Here I am in all my glory. I cannot believe I am posting these pictures. Where did this belly come from? I just turned 60 and my hubby said go for it. I whine everyday and look in the mirror at my belly and back fat plus my inner thighs. I am concerned that my inner thighs might have some hanging skin after. But I had a face lift last year and I healed very well with excellent results.
Never having children I dont have hanging skin so was advised by the clinic that Lipo would work well.
Scheduled for surgery January 15 in Cancun Mexico.Will post more photos and my journey. Very exciting but makes me very nervous.
The pink bathing suit is my goal. To wear it again with pride.
This is the first day 4 that I feel well enough to...
Surgery was a breeze but I woke up shaking so bad from the anesthesia. They gave me the best meds. I slept overnight with sweet hubby on the couch. He is my everything. The hospital was wonderful and the nurses checked every hour all night with vitals and meds and the doctor saw me at 10PM.
The doctor marked my whole back right to my neck , whole abs and the inner thighs. Yikes.
Hubby took the markings photos also and so did the doctor. It was the first time I met him but he is a surgeon who works in the most expensive hospital in Cancun and is a very religious perfectionist with international clients. I lucked
out as my original surgeon was MIA for many reasons
Going home was tough. I had my inner thighs, whole back, full abs done So sitting up no way plus the Dr said no sitting as it will cause wrinkles. Maybe 15 minutes for 1 week. Walking and standing
Somehow I made it to the hotel and just laid. Not a lot of pain when laying. Standing up I needed a lot of help. The hotel knew I surgery so I disappeared real quick. .
Now we made it to Playa del Carmen for a hotel for 3 days. As my hubby was buying a SUV. So I laid and watched TV in a cool room. But I have a hard time with meds and they were making me so sick. I didn't know what to do. Then finally the next day I called my facilitator and they changed everything. So today I feel fine. What an ordeal!
I have many bruises all different colors and lots of swelling on my legs. I wrapped the right one cause it was so swollen. The Dr wants me wear the heavy duty snap compression garment for 1 week. He stitched closed all the opening and said because it leaves little scarring. But removed 4000CC..lots of fat
They use this great cotton bandage that wraps aall around so the snaps don't hurt at all and keeps everything smooth. Its wonderful.
I wait one week then go back for removal of stitches and then he said I don't have to wear anything else. But I have a stage 2 garment that I will wear as I know it just good.
Yes very stiff and sore but oh well I knew it would happen. Yesterday I wanted to die and thought why oh why did I do this and so emotional. Today so glad I did it...oh my..
