I've been slack!
Hi beautiful ladies,
It's been ages since I updated my review. Sorry!
Today is Sunday and as of Friday (two days ago) it's been 10 weeks since I had my surgery. I am so happy that I had it done. It truly is life changing.
I'm not sure if I wrote about the seroma that I had. I went for ultrasound-guided aspirations three weeks in a row after hospital, but then fortunately I didn't have to have any more. I go back to the surgeon next week for a checkup.
I did take some more photos last week, but again, not sure if I should load them. I know I'm being selfish, but putting my body out there for the world to see is in a whole league of its own!
I have not got any of the silicone tape yet, but I did use some of the silicone gel. It's so gorgeous! Makes your skin feel like silk. The surgeon said to be massaging my scars as much as I can and at least three times a day. I've been pretty slack in this area too.
A lady at work had a lift a couple of years ago and she said that she kept the tape on for about three months. I have to say, I've been wearing the tape, particularly at night, since then. I was finding that even with the massage (with oil/cream/whatever) sometimes when I rolled over I felt like my scars were really tight and pulling. The tape has helped with that a lot. So when I see the surgeon next week I'll ask him if it's okay to be doing this.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Welcome to 2014 - onwards and upwards!

I'm driving again!
Hi everyone! Today is 12 days PO. I had a consultation with the surgeon yesterday. I think ordinarily I would have just seen a nurse to have the stitches removed, but because of my fluid issue the surgeon wanted to see me too. So he said all is going well, and I'm allowed to drive again as long as I take it easy. My kids were very happy to hear that! LOL I need to have an ultrasound-guided aspiration on my abdomen because of the fluid build up. The bit below my belly button looks like a waterbed at the moment. It's swollen and very obviously full of fluid. I should be having that done today then I go back to see the surgeon again next week. I think given the way it was in hospital I'll likely need another aspiration, but we'll wait and see.
Other than that, I'm absolutely loving my new boobs! They're not too tiny after all and I think they're starting to soften. I went over a speed bump yesterday and boy did I feel them bounce! LOL
The bruising is nice and yellow mostly. The stitches were no problem at all. I'm pretty happy with the way the scar is looking too at this early stage.
So far I think he's done a good job. I do like that he's a perfectionist and he did everything he could to avoid me bucking his perfect track record LOL

One More Night... sing it with me!
So the surgeon has been visiting me twice a day which makes me think he's worried I'm bucking his perfect record LOL
I need to keep the drain in for another day & after it comes out he still needs to keep me here for a while. My biggest concern is that I didn't fill in my menu for tomorrow! LOL
I haven't put before photos up, sorry everyone. I'm too embarrassed.
One more thing I should mention about being in is that the antibiotics have given me thrush. That's just nasty. And I only bought enough nanna knickers with me for 5 days so I'm asking the nurses to put them in the washing machine for me! But go the granny pants - they sit above the scar and bruising so I imagine are much more comfortable than a bikini that would sit on the scar.
