Scheduled Mini TT for July 12th - California

I know... it was really scary! Poor thing! I felt so bad because she was so scared. I can't believe they don't close up the hole when they take the drain out, but they don't! It doesn't hurt, but it just feels weird having an open hole. My PS said not to worry. He said it will close on its own.

I'm glad to hear you are feeling better and are up and around more. I really miss holding my kids too. My 2 year old cries for me to hold her, so we have been holding hands instead. It seems to help her a bit. I let her walk me around the house. I went back to work today and did too much so I am very swollen.

good luck tomorrow! I had a mini with lipo on July 12th. Recovery was actually pretty easy. Very minimal pain. The most pain was from the lipo! Keep us posted!

Well... the beach trip was minus a bikini :) I stayed covered up. I went to the doctor today and I'm stuck with the drain until Tuesday. @Jessica- I am really happy with the mini because of the scar. It is really short (about the size of a c-section scar). I didn't have very many stretch marks either, but keep in mind when they pull the skin tight the light ones show up more. I didn't really realize that until after surgery. I also didn't grasp how they did the surgery. I must of just thought they cut a bunch of skin off and they didn't. Overall, I am happy with my decision. I will post an after pic today so you can see the scar size and stretch marks.

Sounds like your post op went well! I don't have mine until Thursday at which point I hope they take this drain out! I can't wait for before and after pics! I'm still not sure if the mini was the way to go. I'm happy with the length of the scar, but unhappy with the stretch marks. I guess it's a give and take.
