12/3/11. Now I'm experiencing swell hell. I got drains out at 11 and 14 days postop and almost wish they were back in! The swelling is driving me insane. I'm also having some issues with my bellybutton not healing well. I'm supposed to get stitches out on Wed but there are large parts that seem like open meat so we'll see. Overall I'm glad I did it and would do it again but can't wait until I can feel normal. I'm not a patient person.

11-20 so tonight I finally felt up to taking bathing suit pics and put on a two piece I bought a few yrs ago and never had the guts to wear. Surprise! The bottoms were way huge and I had to fold them down for the pics. When I saw the pics I had tears in my eyes bc I realized I seriously may be able to wear a two piece to the beach this year! This has been a long eighteen months of going to the gym and working hard for my weight loss, fighting the insurance company for six months to get help paying bc this would not happen if I had to pay it all, and finally getting this surgery. I am so excited about howi look....trying not to be vain or obsessed but I'm so very happy! Almost no pain at this point. Muscle soreness and getting tired easily is about it. So glad I did this!

So I'm five days post op and can say that my PS was very wrong when he said this was less painful than a csection. I would have to say its worse, or else I recovered much quicker than normal csection patients. Maybe bc I'm older now I'm not recovering as quick as I did then but whew! Starting tues night I had some pretty intense discomfort, and was mostly miserable through wednesday with some brief bits of relief. By Thurs I was ok and today, day five, I'm feeling pretty good. The more I get up and move the better I feel, and the more I look at my flat( although swollen) belly the better I feel. I have some bruised and sore pain in the lipo areas and general muscle soreness in my belly area but the rolls are GONE! I'm swollen more today than any other, but still smaller than I was. Will post pics when l take more. Still worth it even with the pain being more than I thought.
