Had mini UBL and tummy tuck on March 21st as planned. Surgery went well. Just posted some post op pictures

I just read your note from November 18th. I was laughing so hard I almost peed my pants.. That is so true. Your a funny writer, reading it made me feel better about things. Thank you.

Girl you look amazing, quit being so hard on yourself. You look awesome and sexy!

Well I am back in my Hotel suite. I was discharged from the hospital last night. I feel like a had a huge step backwards, but now I am back on my recovery path. I am going to make the first part of my entry an update on progress and the results of my surgery. Then I am going to describe some of my feelings about this. First off I finally looked at myself butt-naked in the mirror and I absolutely love my boobs. I definitely have some upper pole firmness, and nice cleavage. Very Pretty Boobies. I can also see that my stomach is nice and flat. However, I gained 30 lbs of water weight since my surgery and so my skin is tight tight tight. I received a lot of IV Fluids while in the ER and during the clotbusting procedure. I am skinny some places and fat in others. Swelling is mostly in my legs,back and butt. So I think I will like my tummy tuck when this is healed, but I can't tell quite yet. Also I want to say that although a Pulmonary Embolism is listed as one of the more serious risks on the consent form for surgery, I never believed in a million years that it could or would happen to me. Based on this premise-of course I did not want to go to the ER and be checked out after I passed out. Never mind that my heart rate was 150 and my blood pressure was low and I felt like total "shit". I was just dehydrated and needed some fluids. I googled Pulmonary Embolism and the only symptom I did not have was the "drop dead" part. Also I am a Critical Care RN for over 20 years and it never entered my mind that I might have a blood clot, This is called DENIAL, and it almost cost me my life. (Just had to throw that in there) Now I need to tell you a couple things I thought were funny that really don't have much to do with reviewing my surgery: My youngest daughter (she is 25) came to see me when I was in the ER and the Pulmonary Doctor came in and said " You have multiple little blood blots in your lungs, Since you have survived this initial episode, we need to decide your course of treatment from here on out. I am going to start a Heparin drip and this will prevent any more clots from forming and it will take about 9 months for your body to absorb. Also I don't think you should be up walking around, if you need the rest room use the wheel chair or bedside commode." So my daughter wheeled me to the bathroom in the ER and I'm sitting there trying to pee and she is acting all worried. I said "I just had an important thought. If some thing were to happen to me, you know how I always said I wanted to be cremated, Well scratch that request. If I die from this I want to be buried in something low cut that really shows off my cleavage and also shows my skinny waist line." We had a good laugh about that.

Thank you, thanks for all the detail.

Thank you, I am very excited.
