I've waited 18 years for this procedure and I finally had the courage money and faith to do it. I am only 5 days post surgery pain is manageable drains are still in pain pump is gone and im not seeing any bruising. I love my Dr. I had one scare due to leg swelling on day 2 but I just needed to push more fluids.

Congratulations!!! I'll be 39 in June and I have an 18 year old. Like you, it's my time too! I've been wanting this since he was born! Looking forward to your updates!
Healing takes time, don't push it once you have the surgery and listen to your body. I can't wait to workout but I know i have to wait about another week.
I'm glad you're doing well. You'll be very happy with the final result. Can't wait to see pics!
Thanks I just posted a few pics
I'm having that same problem with swelling. How did you push more fluids? I'm taking fluid pills twice a day but still not enough fluid coming out!
