WORTH IT$13,800
Well today is 4 weeks PO for me. Overall my experience has been great. Is it a painful procedure? Is it inconvenience? Is it physically, mentally and emotionally draining? Hell yes! Would I do it again? Absolutely without a doubt! I am very pleased with my results thus far. I am at that stage where one day you look great and the next you are swollen as hell. Regardless of how swollen I get I don't get down because I still look better than I did before. I don't weigh myself as I am not really concerned about that. I just want to feel good about myself. I can easily fit in my size 28 Miss Me's. Jeans sometimes irritate my scar so I try not to move any more than I have to. My hubby left to go back to work yesterday so I have 3 weeks to focus on just me! I am going to the gym tomorrow to walk. I am so ready to start lifting again but not until I am cleared to do so. My scars are healing very well. I believe I have a spitting stitch under my left breast. I have a follow up next thursday so we will see what the PS says. My hubby and I looked at bathing suits online and he decided on the one piece 1950's style..lol Needless to say I won't be getting that one! School cancelled monday and tuesday due to ice on the roads so my life will hopefully be back to normal tomorrow,. ( Normal being crazy, hectic, and me running around like a wild woman). I am taking a hair, skin and nails supplement and applying scar cream or vit e to my scars. I think they are doing excellent, I can still feel where the lipo on my flanks was done and it seems to still get swollen. I wear a neoprene exercise stomach band at night. The sweating helps my stomach significantly by morning time. I don't where a binder or CG as per my surgeon. Hope the pics help those who are considering these procedures. I still have a long way to recover but a am totally satisfied!!

Post op day 2. Stomach is very painful today. Doc said he pulled 1 lb of fat from my flanks and said that he couldn't believe home much skin he removed because of my small frame. I go back to him next thursday for follow up. I've been taking Gas X because the gas is making me feel like i got a big ol baby in my stomach. Also taking Dulcolax to soften stool (which I have not done yet). Had a couple people stop by and check on me and they were pretty shocked at the way I look...lol I can raise my hands ovr my head without pan. Dr said he put 350cc in one breast and 375cc in the other.and removed breast tissue from both of them.
Well i feel nappy time coming on so I will talk to ya'll later

December 20, 2012
I am!!! Of course one if his flights got cancelled:-( He is stuck in Chicago right now. My boobs never bugged in the beginning. Just the muscle repair. Later they hurt when they were spitting stitches

Basically internal stitches that your body is rejecting. I got a few openings- it was my body working them to the surface and pushing them out. My nurse at the PS'S office took them out at different visits. As soon as they got taken out the openings closed:-) How are you doing today???

Looking great! I can definitely relate to being hunched over my back kills me as soon as I'm standing!!!
December 23, 2012
I feel ya!! my lower and middle back is killing me too. I sleep with the heating pad on and that helps alot. I only have one more shot to go so at least I won't have to deal with that. My last check on my drain was 10CC so I am hopeful that it will come out :)

Are you getting around a little more today? Just checking in to see how you're feeling. How's your pain level?
December 23, 2012
Yea I'm getting around better today. My stomach muscles are just killing me. I get weird burning, stabbing pain in my tummy. Other than that I'm good. I've just been doing absolutely nothing for once..lol I did have a BM yesterday and it wasnt too bad. How are you doing?
December 23, 2012
You look wonderful. Are you feeling better? How is your pain management? I'm so sorry to hear about the vomiting!!
December 23, 2012
I'm doing better today. My chest has never really caused any pain. at first it was my upper stomach muscles causing me pain but now it has moved down to my lower. i'm takin pain med as needed (i had one at 4:30 then the next wasnt until 12:30). i dont take the muscle relaxer anymore. i think what is helping me the most is just taking it easy and stayin laid down. the vomitting did stop thank goodness...
