WORTH IT$15,405
Went to the doctor on Friday, 1/4/13. I have an infection under my breasts and in my belly button. Need to soak it with hydrogen peroxide several times a day and put an antibiotic cream on it. Still looks yellow this morning. He says it's unusual, but not serious so hopefully it will clear up before I return to him this Friday.
In the meantime I've been on an emotional roller coaster. I've had way too much time to think. I accused my wonderful boyfriend of cheating on me as I was having so many thoughts racing through my mind. He's had enough and has told me to move out and that it's over. I'm still not really able to lift or do a lot of bending so not physically able to pack and move. It's been extremely stressful living with him, trying to apologize, knowing I need to move and that he wants me out of his life. I really have no friends to talk with about this and family just doesn't understand. Ugh....not sure this was the right thing to do at this point, but hopefully time will heal all wounds (both mental and physical). Would really appreciate some thoughts or advice on how to handle these emotions.

Here are a couple of pics. My drains are still in and still very swollen. Stomach is numb, but to be expected. Pain is getting much better now, but can't stand up for very long at a time.

Had my surgery yesterday. They sent me from the surgical center to the hospital to monitor the amount of blood I had coming out of my tubes since I was going to have a 2 hour ride home from there they wanted to ensure that we wouldn't have any problems on the trip home.
Not sure what everything looks like as I'm bandaged and in the compression garments, but it does look like my tummy should be pretty flat. My new breasts are 'in my face'. lol I'm sure that will change once they drop and the swelling goes down.
I am currently taking the pain meds every 4 hours and do have some pain just sitting in the recliner. When I get up and walk to the bathroom is when everything really hurts. I spent the night in the recliner and most of my day. I've drank close to a gallon of water. I return to the doctor on Friday. I am running a low grade fever 99.1 but other than that I believe I'm doing as well as expected at this point.

Im so happy to hear of someone at this weight being able to do this! I am 5'7 and currently 219lb. I just haf my last baby 6 mo ago. I go for my consultation tomorrow and am hoping to have a TT and BA. Im so worried he will turn mr away and tell me to loose 50lb and come back. I have had 3 c-sec and my galbladder removed so my tummy is ugly to say the least. Good luck to you,
December 12, 2012
I was worried that they would tell me I hadn't lose enough weight as well. I carry all of my weight in the front as you can probably tell from the pictures so he said I was a good candidate even if I wasn't at goal weight.
Let me know how it works out for you.

Hey! Are you home now? How are you feeling???
December 13, 2012
Thanks. I am home and doing well. Pain is pretty bad getting up and down. Not as bad when I'm walking and only mild pain when I'm resting. I am taking 2 of my pain pills every four hours. I tried only taking 1 about 4:30 this morning and I was in pretty severe pain very soon. I'm also making sure I take my muscle relaxers on schedule as there are times whenever I can feel my tummy quivering.
I go for my post op appointment tomorrow so maybe I'll get to see what I look like then. The drains have small clots in them today and the color is now a dark pink instead of the deep red they were yesterday. I'm running a low-grade fever and I'm icing my boobs as they randomly have pains shooting through them.
December 14, 2012
Oh I hate that pain that randomly comes- I still get that. I would take 2 then 1 then 2 every 3 hours. If I laid still I didn't have any pain! Lol did u milk ur drain? Let me know how tomorrow goes:-)

Doctor removed most of my bandages yesterday. Drains are still draining too much to take them out yet, but they said I could go ahead and shower. What a relief that was. Haven't had a pain pill since 2:30 this morning. I really don't hurt unless I move around or cough. Coughing hurts very badly even with a pillow held tightly against me. I saw myself in the mirror and I'm shocked at how bad I look right now. I just keep telling myself after the swelling and bruising disappear it will look much better than it does now. On a positive note, my boobs look wonderful.
December 15, 2012
I bet you will look wonderful! please post some pics when you can. Im curious to see how well it turned out. I had my consultation on Thur. My doc is going to do a breast lift and augmentation this Wednesday and then in 3 months when i heal he will do my tt and lipo. He said if i want to loose weight i better do it now before surgery instead of after, otherwise my skin will be too loose and i will be unhappy again. Problem is i realistically would like to loose about 60 more pounds but dont want to wait another yr to do it! ugh
December 15, 2012
It will get better. I bet you look a lot better then u think. When you take a pic do a side by side and u will see the difference. I use pic stitch for side by sides.
December 19, 2012
Posted some post op pics. Still healing and still swollen, but getting better.
My doc told me I wouldn't want to lose more than 35-40 pounds or I'd have the loose skin issue again as well but I just couldn't wait any longer. He said my stomach muscles needed a lot of repair so I'm glad I went ahead and had it done now.
December 19, 2012
Thanks. I did post more pics and I do see the difference, but still have a lot of swelling. I can actually look down and see more than just my tummy so I know it's much better than it was before. LOL
