6 Days postop Drains came out today! Hallelujah!!!...
6 Days postop Drains came out today! Hallelujah!!! What a difference that makes. The nicest nurse worked with me today, and it wasn't so bad.. .mostly just weird that there's so much tubing. Dr. was very pleased with my progress and said I seemed to be doing "better than most" which made me feel good! I like the binder. It sure does make coughing and laughing MUCH more manageable!! I feel very puffy/rolly today, but Dr. reminded me that it'll be several months. . .I am so eager to see the final results. I'm still really happy though - the smile definitely appears on my face when I sit on the toilet and SEE the TOPS of my THIGHS!!! Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SNAFU of the day: I went to my purse to take a pain pill (ate lunch, went shopping, rode 1.5 hrs. in car, sat at son's swimming lessons) and accidentally took one of my prescription appetite supressants. .. OOPS!! I'd stopped taking them a week before surgery, and I just pulled the wrong ones out of my bag and took them. CRAP!! The only real problem with that is that it's like 5pm, and I'll be awake ALL NIGHT!! I skipped the prescription pain med and took some tylenol. I seriously considered trying to gag them up, but decided that the pain wasn't worth it. . .so, here's to an all nighter. Dumb me.

I did it! I had my TT plus liposuction to my back and hips yesterday - July 8, 2010. So far, it is WAY easier than my two c-sections. . . I can stand up straight already!! I am not in a binder and apparently I won't be until my drains come out. I am wearing support hose. So far, I agree with lots of other folks on here- the drains are annoying, but not terrible. It REALLY hurts to cough, but other than that, my pain is minimal. I've been very drowsy today. Did the 1.5 hour car ride home pretty well. Got out at a rest area to use the restroom, and that wasn't so bad. My lipo areas are extremely bruised - kind of like I've had a bad, bad fall. My husband (who is WONDERFUL!) will change my dressings later, so I'm planning to take some pics. I'll post soon. Hooray! When I saw my tummy during the dressing change today, I cried. I love it already!!!
Provider Review
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
1 Office Park Circle, Birmingham, Alabama
He has a wonderful bedside manner and staff. He was the second doctor I had a consultation with, and he was so much easier to talk to than the other. He has been a PS for many years, and has many certifications. He's done breast reductions for several friends and came highly recommended. I totally agree!
