19 days post op, cheated on my CG and put on sexy panties!

Be patient and kind to your body, Fab40, because it takes time to heal and it's normal to have ups and downs during the first 2 to 4 weeks post op. I am 3 weeks p.o. and finally beginning to feel like myself. Some days I have more swelling than others, and I know how the drains can be just that, a big fat drain on your mood. In the meantime, they are doing precisely what they need to do to help with the swelling, and reducing the chance of a seroma. So bundle up in those pillows, put on a good chick flick, have your hubby buy you your favorite ice cream and unwind. You'll be running around the house before you know it! Best wishes!

I didn't take Arnica, but I bought a gel I could rub on post op. I'm not sure it made a difference in my case, but other ladies swear by it. Thinking of you this week and wishing you a relaxing few days before your surgery! Get a massage!

Thanks much for the kind words, Apelila, and I thought of it this way: I've spent 15 years in my current home and over $100,000 in renovations and repairs. I've spent 45 years in my body, and am going to live in it a lot longer than my house, I think. So why not invest in my permanent home? Best wishes as you prepare for surgery, and we're here for you before and after!

You are going to look amazing, Apple! Get ready to rock those bikinis!

Thanks, apple! Have you had your procedure yet? Let me know if I can help with any questions, or if you want to vent!
