Update with pictures

Hello everyone - Here are pictures ONE month post op. I had received the ask on the incision and then here are my legs... I am still swollen and had an infection at the drain sites right by my knees so it looks puffier in that area. I am starting to feel better and gaining my strength back. I do wear a compression garment during day and keep my feet elevated as much as I can. My doctor has asked me to walk as much as I can and then come home and elevate my legs for at least a half hour. Can you see a difference yet? Thank you all so much for all the prayers and positive thoughts - Love you all!

Three Days Post Op

Taking my pain medication every 4 hours as well as my antibiotics. So far I feel pretty good considering my incisions go from my knee around my groin area and around and under my butt. He did more Lipo and removed about 7 lbs of skin. He also clamped off and removed several huge varicose veins. Doc said they were so thick and really bad! Over the years they have gotten swollen and have really hurt from time to time. I have had since my early teens.This was a fabulous unexpected addition to my surgery. I stayed over night 2 nights which was great because it gave me time to be more comfortable walking and getting up from bed. Having the freshette female urinal was best thing in world. If I would have had to sit to pee I don't know how I would have managed! The nurses at hospital are going to reccomend to have them for patients made it easier for everyone. I have 4 drains 2 at knees 2 at top of thighs plus wearing compression garment that goes from high up on waist to below the knees with slits to go potty. Cannot sit up straight for a few weeks and have big pillow under my knees for support. Tommorow morning I have my first post op appointment and will update you all with that info once I get back. Hope this information helps you!

Surgery done!!!

Surgery was done this morning at 7am. The surgery was 5 hours long then in recovery area until about 5pm. I didn't wake up until about 4pm and with the help of some fabulous pain killers so far so good. Doc has me on bedrest and I have a cath so I can drink as much as I want lol which is great because it helps me to flush out my system. Tommorow it comes out though..I am in compression pants and have 4 drains. More updates soon.
