Surgery Scheduled with Dr. Grawe - Columbus, OH

I'm been going back and forth between 548cc round and 434cc round. I'm stressing about size! Not sure what to do.

I can't thank you enough for this. I am still going back and forth on size. If you could give me any other advice on what else to get to help with recovery. Or things that shocked you about your experience? Please, give me your full review on everything! I want to pick your brain! That is awesome about your pain level. It gives me hope!

Happy to help, the hardest part is going to the bathroom, if you can get a funnel to pee in it will help you save a mess cause we can't sit even if we want to our skin and butt are so tite bending in the position is hard. The more you heal the more you'll be able to bend. Get a liquid laxative just incase the softeners don't work well due to pain meds and the new position. I've found resting one hand on the back gives me support. I have been living in night gowns because pulling undies or shorts up an down to go to the bathroom is just to hard. Keep your drains covered on all 4 sides as they are still an opening to your butt an risk infection if not. I have let my incisionson air heal after my shower rather putting gauze because they need to stay dry and are closed wounds so they don't need to be covered like the drains. Use ice, double bagged, in a pillow case as much as possible. I started this an my antibiotics as soon as I came out of recovery. To be honest I think this is why my pain level has been so low. Make sure you have help cause it has been hard to get in an out of bed but I think this is also due to my lipo an I'm wearing a garment. I didn't need much lipo in the flanks but it really did make my butt pop that much more. The drains have been the hardest part to be honest but they should be out soon, I go tomorrow to get my flank drain removed because it's no longer draining anything at all. Drink lots of water and i found myself perfer ingredients protein drinks rather bars just because it's not as hard when it comes time to go to the bathroom. I have also started taking vitamins a,e, and c they all help with healing. I started about 5 days after surgery. Vitamins, a & e every other day, chewable c daily. I also use a robe string over my neck to tie my drains to making it easier to shower. I have not shaved since 2 days prior to surgery an won't until my tubes are out. I also use the fan to dry. I've also been on my tummy if not standing the whole time. Hope this helps, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask, id be happy to share if I can. Good luck :)

I'm already dreading that first poop! I'll get the liquid. And I have a gogirl urinal so I'm ready! What do you do for a living? When are you planning to return to work? The night gown and fan are such good ideas! I'll ice like a mad woman after hearing you say that. Do you have any pictures of your results?

Yes, check out my review under daydreamer01.

I returned to my usual schedule at about 12 weeks. I'm a student an mom of 3.

I didn't get cleared. I'm so upset. They were so supportive, I'm still dreaming of that booty!

Oh no.....I'm so sorry to hear that. Hopefully, later in the future you can have it done. Once, this issue with you being anemic will clear up.

Thanks for the support girl. I go back to my doctor the first week in June so hopefully everything works out. Grawe's office has been very sweet to me through this. I'm just so upset, I was looking forward to swim suit shopping this year :(

Hang in there girlie! I'm scheduled for July 26th.....I'm super excited!

I am just worries that I'll have to wait another 6 months to schedule because of work. I am happier this way instead of having complications...but I'm still heart broken today. Thanks for the support girl, you have been awesome. Keep posting your updates. Hopefully I'll know something in a month and I can get on the books again!

I dont blame you at all, id be too. Once you know more let us know :)

Check out my review on Dr Grawe. You may have an angel warning you. I hope it helps.

By angel I don’t mean myself. Maybe spiritually. I was warned by family members and friends and i still got the surgery with her. Big mistake
