Just a quick update. Had my 3 week post op appointment today. I'm still pretty swollen in both my upper and lower belly. I irritated my upper muscles so on top of the normal swelling, my muscles are swollen too. They took pictures today, that was much better then the before pictures... the difference (even swollen) is just amazing! My PS gave me a big hug and is so happy with my transformation, such a great PS!
I've been given the clear to do light exercise, take off the CG at night to sleep and I can wear a normal bra... that's exciting! Kind of nervous to sleep without my CG but we will see how it goes. I go back in a month for my next checkup, more pictures I hear!
I'll work on some pictures today to update progress... so very happy with my decision to go through with my mommy makeover!!

Had my two week check up today, everything looks good and the PS isn't worried at all about my upper belly. He doesn't think I messed up muscle repair thank goodness... that would have been really bad news! I go back again next week to triple check that my body is absorbing all the fluid correctly. Keep the compression garments on for awhile and continue to heal.
My last round of family help leaves next Wednesday so I'm sure hoping I'm going to be able to pick up my girls by then or I'm going to have to get very creative. Went and did some clothes shopping... I know it's a little early but I'm just too excited. I was able to fit into a size 7/8 jean (it's been 12 years since I've seen this size) and they are so cute. I think when my swelling goes down that will still be my size and I love it.
Love Love Love my new body!

Today marks 2 weeks, can't believe it already. Weighed myself this morning and I'm down to 139, haven't seen the 3 number in a long time, very exciting!
I got my last drain out a couple days ago and it's so nice not to have to worry about that anymore. I'm still pretty swollen right around my incision, flanks and my upper belly. The upper belly I irritated when I accidentally picked up on of my girls. My PS is keeping an eye on it, not sure what I did yet but it looks better today then yesterday so hopefully I didn't screw anything up. I go back again to the PS tomorrow to make sure my body is absorbing the fluid after taking the drains out.
I'm still sleeping with my wedge pillow in bed, I think I will be for awhile still but it's comfortable. I'm just about completely standing upright but find myself throughout the day starting to bend over a little bit. The swelling in my boobs have gone down a lot so it's good to see more of what they are going to look like. I love them, so small and perky... cute!! I also just love my new BB, all is just perfect and more than I could ever have expected!
What a life changing and exciting experience this is... I'm so happy with everything and just know it's going to get even better.

Provider Review
James E. Magnusson, D.O.
My initial consultation was great, the staff was very nice and helpful. Dr. Magnusson took his time in going over the details of what was going to happen. Never did he pressure or push additional procedures, only talked about the procedures I wanted. I'll update more over time and I've learned more. So far Dr. Magnusson has been great!
