Just had my surgery this morning. Not going to lie, I'm an incredible amount of pain. My breasts more than my stomach actually. I just got up to use the bathroom and lost a lot of the "bloody fluid" from the wound site. Kind of freaked me out, but they said it was to be expected. Going to go ahead and post my before pictures now, and I will post more pictures as the bandages come off and as I heal! Any questions, feel free to ask!

Stood up to use the bathroom, LOTS of bloody fluid came out. Became very weak and nearly fainted. Soaked the bandages. Turned rather pale and my BP dropped. Scared the crap out of me!! Spoke to a nurse via text message about it (how awesome is that!? Amazing customer service!!!) and she answered all my silly questions and put me at ease. Then she taught me how to change the bandages before I went to bed.

I have a question... Is there a reason for the exact placement of the tan tape on your body? What exactly is that tan tape for?

I have no idea! But he took it all off today, and said I was fine without it for now. I will see him on Friday, he may decide to put some more back on. I think it's just to help stabilize certain areas, so it doesn't shift? I really don't know LOL

I'm considering going to the same DR. Did they advise you to use a compression garment at all?

Just a personal preference, I believe. I've read of numerous doctors that don't believe it does or not not make a difference in recovery time, swelling, or anything else

Okay. Thank you. I'm going to be scheduling my consult in the next week or so. How long after your consult did you schedule your surgery?

I had three consultations. When I met Dr. Schneider at my third and final consultation, I knew he was the one for me! I had my consultation on 11/1, my pre-op consult on 11/4, and my surgery on 11/10!!! Just 20 days ago!! I would've been ready to go under the knife right that second! LOL, I was super excited

Great. I'll be scheduling my consult soon. I love your results thus far and I will share mine when I go! Thank you for sharing!

12 hours post op, bandage/gauze change before bed

Used the bathroom before bed, and changed the bloody gauze and tape. The process makes me weak, and again, I almost fainted. But as soon as I was laying down again, I felt much better. My BP went back up, the color returned to my face, and I wasn't so dizzy. Scary but manageable.
