I had my surgery the same day as you so I'm 3 weeks po as well. I still swell too but sometimes it feels worse than it looks. You look great! (and I love you tattoo by the way).

Hi, I'm going to have a consult with Dr Hall this week and saw your profile. I've seen Dr Quinn and Dr Hall will be my second consult. I've heard great things about both, so I'll have to decide between them! I'm getting a mommy makeover, but I'm nervous about the TT, since I'm in between needing a mini and a full. dr Quinn said I might need a small vertical scar as well. I have no boobs to speak of, so I'm super stoked about the BA!

So which dr did u end up with? Do u like your result?

Hi, I decided to go for dr hall in 3weeks. How is your result? Did they use a pain pump? Did u do blood test before the surgery? Is your tummy very straight flat?

Where did u rent your recliner? Thanks

Did you end up using Lovenox after your surgery? My Hematologist wants me to take it for 10 days post op but my PS cancelled my surgery because he was not comfortable with it. I have to find a new one.

I had my mommy makeover done on Wednesday the 23rd of January. My pain is minimal, I have been taking one pain pill every 6 hours and one muscle relaxed every 6 and I feel like I'm able to get up and down no problems. My surgery was 3.5 hours and I can tell I look great...so worth it!!!!

I'm 2 weeks today, and feeling just like you. I almost have a shelf of a belly above my incision. I think we're both worrying too early, I think you look great, actually! You are rocking that dang bikini! But I also think you've got some swelling and will be even hotter!

I am 3 weeks out and still get swelling. Everyone does. You look great! Please don't worry yourself about the swelling right now. Or anytime soon! This is such a loooooong process and the swelling is completely normal, albeit frustrating and depressing! Hang in there! It WILL get better!!! (((Hugs)))

Well ladies, I had to postpone my surgery because the week before my eye started to twitch and I got a bad sinus headache which lead to a bad cold. I went to the pharmacy to get a decongestant and the pharmacist said to call my PS first to make sure they were okay to take, I spoke to his nurse and she said yes they were fine so I feel better and ready for surgery but a little freaked out because some of you lovely ladies say that your PS said no to decongestants, I'm freaking that when I get there on Wednesday morning the anesthesiologist will tell me I have to reschedule..ugh!!! I'm assuming my surgeons nurse knows what she's doing and saying she's been with him for 15 years...anyone have an encouraging words?

I work in an office with 3 different docs, and if there is one thing that I can guarantee you is that each one is different in their choices and opinions on everything! If your Nurse has been with him for 15 years she knows his beliefs, I have been with all 3 of mine for 5 and I know them all and what their opinions are regarding their practices, so you should be able o trust her fully. Good luck with your surgery, I look forward to hearing and seeing your results!

I had a mid face and neck lift a week ago. I had to stop aspirina, herbal vitamins and nasal and sinus decongestants a month before my surgery .. You should check with your doctor.. I got all the instructions in writing and by email (PDF) in case I had a question during my work trips.

I was ok'd to take sudafed (the real stuff) the week before surgery. As long as no NSAID's (ibuprofen, aleve) or aspirin were in it. I'm sure the nurse knows what he says is ok. :)
