First I want to say that, in my last post, when I talked about my horrible night in the hospital it had less to do with pain per say and just an overall discomfort and frustration with my situation of being in the hospital, and an inability to sleep for any length of time.
Now on to the PO check in. Yesterday I got my last drain out, and all my stitches removed. I definitely have a love/hate relationship with my compression garment. I was out from 3 to 5:30 yesterday and while I did feel fatigued in the evening I really felt it this morning. It's so frustrating because my mind is going, going, going as if nothing is wrong and I could do a bunch of the things I used to do, but I shouldn't do them and it's driving me crazy.
My breasts are still slightly tender and I'm noticing my nipples are quite sensitive. Anyone else have this issue?????
The areas of liposuction feel doughy and soft and I am still pretty numb everywhere.
I'm attaching all the pictures I've been meaning to upload but never taken the time. I'll update again soon.

I felt at ease the moment Dr. Aquadro said "Hi". He was patcient (damn I hate that word) and very thurough. He threw out ideas for different price ranges but never once made me feel like he was trying to up sell to make himself more money. His nurse Linda made me feel so at ease and Beth his surgical coordinator answered all my questions, and I had a bunch. I feel after a few months of healing I am going to see results that I absolutely love. I highly recommend him and his clinic for any of your cosmetic surgery needs.

Well I ended up staying in the hospital overnight due to all the lipo that I had done, that was the worst night of my life. Not pain wide I was just uncomfortable and very frustrated with the sleeping situation. I wasn't put in my compression garment till just before discharge so the makeshift garments cut into me something aweful. I am a side sleeper and not being able to turn over was HORRIBLE. I moaned, cussed and cried most of the night.
They got my pain meds worked out the next day and the compression garment on me, that was an ordeal. And man that changed everything. Honestly the worst part right now is the damned itching. ???? I finally showered Monday night and am up walking with ease with and without a walker.
I LOVE MY NEW TATA'S. We went with 415 in each with no lift. I can't wait for these suckers to drop and to try on some of my bathing suits. ????
Also I'm expecting my jeans to fit so nicely now.
I am so happy and t this point feel it was SO worth it.

Wow when I think about it like that it's kinda surreal. I have contacted the SX coordinator, Beth several times for quotes on adding/ modifying the procedures and she has been just so kind about the whole thing.
When I went in for my re-consult the Dr. threw some extra options at me but I would have had to of split into two surgeries to get the results and I didn't have the time or money for that. I think I have settled on Breast lift with 300-325cc implants, Tummy tuck and Lipo of the flank and inner & outer thighs.
My pre-op is this Wednesday and I finally bite bullet and pay for it all. Honestly I'm not really thinking much about it because I know I will still go through with it no matter how nervous I get, I have waited to long. I don't think my family has any idea what the recovery will be like and they will be quite surprised.
I will put on a wish bikini this evening and take a picture to upload as my before. I live in such a small community I worry about doing nude photos (even without my head). Really don't want my husbands friends or my coworkers having access to that. ????

Congrats!!! on getting your dates. I am also scheduled for a tummy tuck and Lipo to flanks on October 7. My Pre-op is on Friday September 23. I have also waited a long time like you to have TT. I keep telling my self I have until Friday to back out since I have to pay the balance then. LOL. I'm already so nervous as the days are going by so fast. Before you know it we both will be on to the flat side and on the recovery. At least now I have found someone that will be going through the surgery on the same day. I will say my prayers for a speedy recovery for the both of us.
