Drain drama
$5,900
So on Monday my back drain clogged and I woke up that night with my faja and lipo foam soaked through. What a pain. We had to wash my faja and foam and man that foam takes forever to dry. I used the tube clip to strip the tube and it suddenly drained a whole bunch of fluid and the clot into the reservoir. It was really gross. By that night it had drained more than it had in the previous 24 hours so I definitely had a lot of fluid backed up needing to drain. My front drain has been slowly tapering off though so dr fg took it out at my appointment this morning. That one was so uncomfortable so I'm really happy it's out now.
Other than the drain drama I'm doing pretty good. My back bothers me more than anything else due to all the hunching. I could probably almost stand up straight by now but dr. Fg wants me to keep hunching for another week to keep tension off the TT incision so it stays nice and thin. All of his advice and recommendations as when I can start to do things like stand up straight, raise my arms, start to drive, wear normal bras, etc are all much further out than any other dr I've read. He's just very cautious with everything. It's a pain for me but it's a big reason he has such low complication rates and great results. He takes as few risks as possible. Its paying off, my results look great so far.

You look good! Congrats. How long do have to stay on RH? Does dr Goico check up on you? What size are your implant, they match your body frame.

I'm staying in apartment with my mom instead of a RH. I go to his office everyday except Sunday for my lymphatic massages and he usually pops in toward the end to look things over and answer questions if needed. He needed me to stay for 2 weeks after surgery. I got 460cc implants.

Quick update
Feeling much better now. It's day 5 after surgery and I'm back to mostly caring for myself. Haven't needed help getting up and down, in and out of bed or fetching things for at least a day or so. I just have to take things slowly and think about how to move. Twisting and bending wrong still causes burning pain near my drains and lipo areas. Oh and of course no lifting anything. I'm only on the milder pain killers now. Biggest thing bothering me is my back from hunching all the time. My out put from my drains is slowing down. I got my breast drain removed on Friday. My back drain put out 75 cc and my front 55 cc in the last 24 hrs. I'm hoping that's low enough to get the front removed today, but if not it will be tomorrow. That will be such a relief!

I have read your posts and thank you so much for the updates. How long did dr require you to stay? I will have my husband as my companion and am worried about him getting bored, do you normally just sit around all day? Did you have c sections with your babies? I've had two and one hysterectomy and I'm wondering if I can expect a recovery similar to those. Thank you for your help
