New photos, post op 14 days
WOW what an experience...... The fist four days were the roughest as all the woman on the sight mentioned, BTW all the reviews I've read the past six months all of them were pretty accurate on pain, swelling ect.... So the first week I did absolutely nothing. In bed legs propped....I stopped my meds on the seventh day, I'm a huge baby and am so scarred of pain but, the meds did make it very manageable. I got one drain out one week post-op. And the second one a week after that and am so grateful because I wasn't able to wear anything. All I wore was flowing dresses. So happy its out.
OK surgery went great took about nine hours I have a photo of one day post-op before any swelling took effect and I just love the way everything turned out.... At this point I'm very swollen and am just annoyed and my CG sucks. I feel like I cant breath that's for sure. I had minimal bruising, my scare is very very low, my belly button looks amazing and my new breasts I cant get enough of. Out of the entire "Mommy makeover" I would say the my most was the lipo on my love handles. Now the first week I was terribly hunched over it took me about seven days before I could stand straight up. At this point the mornings are rough for me to get going. I started back at work today and it went great. I was happy to be back. I'm a very active mom so the sitting at home recovering for two weeks the second week drove me up the wall that's for sure. The second week it got much easier for me to move around. I was able to cook, clean, drive take my kids to the park but only watched them. I'm on week COME ON!!!! LOL I'm just ready I got clearance to walk and It's 95 here in ATX so I am looking forward to sweating.
I would have to say I'm healing pretty quickly my nurses said I am moving around very well at my two week appointment. I am getting my sutures removed this week so that's great news.. Other than that Dr Driscoll did a phenomenal job and did every thing I wanted an requested. If any of you ladies have and questions feel free to send me a message or comment . I'll answer anything ya wanna know!!!!

Ladies Please Help Me Out !!!!!!
OK so I have one day to go, and I do have a couple of questions to ask.
1. Did you ladies have to purchase a sports bra that snaps in the front ?
2. An where the heck you get one that's not 50$ at Academy ??
3. I was told to wear some things that buttons or zips in the front for easy access, where the hell do I find something like that that does look like a 70 yr old woman would wear.... I've been to countless stores driving myself crazy looking... Can someone please give me some ideas on where to look. I have one day left
I'm very anxious on what Monday morning holds for me and the pain I'm going to be in once that anesthesia wears off.
Last question I was thinking of just wearing a robe while healing since I'm mostly going to be in bed for a week. Anyone recommended anything else?

I bought two of the front closure and paid at least50 for them- they were underarmour- in the end I ended up buying Targets, slip over your head- very comfortable- just go up a size or 2-. I was in a wrap/ace wrap for the first week anyway- by week 2 I could slip the others over my head and sooo much more comfy.

Hey!! Congrats on your upcoming surgery. I just had mine on thurs may 16...so I'm just 2 days post op today. I purchased a champion sports bra that zips in the front but its too small with all the swelling so I am wearing champion sports bras that I pull over my head. They are stretchy enough that I can get in and out of them easily and they are compressing and supporting the new girls. I found mine at target for 15 bucks for two. I wore a simple tube dress the day of surgery. I just stepped into it after surgery and pulled it up over my sports bra. Not really glamorous but it worked.
Take it easy...relax...and good luck!!!! See you on the flat side!!

I bought my very comfy front closure sports bra at Walmart for $8 each. It's super comfy and I have practically worn them every day. I also bought some pjs from GAP that button up the front ..I actually found them on ebay but they might still have them in the store. I also know that they have some cute ones at Victoria's Secret but maybe only online. I don't think the robe would be too comfy as it won't stay closed. Here's what I wore every day for about 2 weeks....comfy big pj bottoms from Old Navy and my sports bra. That's pretty much it. If I went out, I would put on a cami over sports bra and wear my workout pants. They were a bit snug but I kind of liked that extra support. As far as pain, honestly, the first 3 to 4 days you really shouldn't feel much. Keep on top of pain meds. My dr gave me Percocet and Valium and that combination was 'wonderful'.
