Early Present for 40th Birthday :D...TT, Lipo & BBL - Dominican Republic

Hi ladies. It's been a few days since I posted an update. Today is day 11 post-op and I feel great. I still have this annoying back drain that is taking forever to go down enough to be removed. Yesterday I was down to 80ml/day, Arelys says it will probably be removed Monday (fingers crossed). Though, as much as I hate having it, I am glad all that liquid is coming out and reducing the swolleness. I'm now able to get in and out of bed unassisted. I even shaved my lower legs on my own, (though I can't take a shower yet). Hairy legs make my feel even more yucky :/ I can walk and be about for short periods of time before I have to sit or grab onto something for support. If not, the lower back starts hurting bad. I haven't seen my results completely. I took pics of my butt, but in that crunch position and with all the swelling I still have on my lower back, it's hard to see improvement. Except for a few cellulite spots here and there where Dr. G transferred fat and now look even. My right boob continues to be more swollen than the other, and even like that, I am in looove with them. The TT incision doesn't really bother me. It's the tightness of the abdomen that I am more aware of. Yesterday I coughed for the first time and it wasn't that bad. A few more sisters arrived and had their surgeries last Thursday. They're home and I'm glad to help them when I can. I'm happy to have someone else to talk to. I think I was driving the people here crazy :) I will post some pics on Wednesday, two wk mark and a day before going hm.

Everyday I feel a little better, though I must say as I start to recover feeling from treated areas, I can feel the incisions more. TT was removed yesterday, and I couldn't be happier! I have the back one left and will probably not be removed in a couple of days. I'm still swollen and still waiting to see how in the world I will go down three more hooks on this faja AND needing a smaller one in less than 10 days. Dr. G says it DOES happen and very quickly. I can't wait to see :D in the mean time, here are a couple of pics. My boobs don't look as good lying down. Next time I'll take a pic seating down straight.

I thought it would be useful to add the packing list as an update instead. I couldn't figure out how to copy and paste, but you can go the comments in the previous update. I'm attaching some pics of her house as well.
