Day 5

I'm feeling good today. I still feel sore maybe a 4/10. I havent taken any pain med today. I hate my binder at this point cause of all my swellling. I cant wait to get these drains out they are annoying. I'm really scared they are going to hurt! I still havent had a BM. I feel like i have to go but nothing. I cant wait until i can stand up straight again

I had a breast augmentation done almost 3 years ago, and I've just recently run smack dab into menopause. I've never had much of a waist, but it's even worse now. I''m heavier than I've ever been - 30 lbs heavier than when I gave birth 19 years ago. I think my hubby would go for a Mommy Makeover - and I know about recovery from having the girls done - are the results worth the money and the recovery? Who do you recommend in Texas? Any advice? Thanks!!

Day 3

I finally took a shower today! Oh i feel so clean! My husband put a folding chair in the shower and washed my hair and body! I couldnt feel more thankful! My cousin helped me dressed in put my hair in french braids.Right now I feel like the support I'm recieving is helping me heal.

I finally saw my tummy and where my scar is and i couldnt be happier! My sides are swollen really bad and kinda above my belly button. Its barely day 3 and my stomach looks great! My girls are looking nice. I end up going with 400ccs saline under muscle i will post pics

I'm not sure what to do about the swelling either. You're right, taking off the binder you feel like you're going to fall out!

It does feel at first like the binder is holding everything in there. It does ease up a bit after it's been off a while. The shower will help you feel better even though its a trek. Try ice packs and frozen peas for the swelling.

I had the same problem- my right boob was much more swollen than left from day one and still is today. (Partly my fault had to pick up my son that was getting projectile vomiting) I had the same stabbing sensation your talking about- it lasted about 2-3 days and the swelling is now going down. Hope your feel better soon.
