check up and pics
I have my 4 week post op checkup tomorrow. I really hope they take the left drain out but if not, I will take pics anyways. Was waiting to get the drains out but I don't want to wait any longer in case someone is looking to get something similar done. Stay tuned

Bored out of my mind!
So I have had very little pain with this surgery. I was off pain meds within 5hours of my surgery, which i am so thankful for. But I am bored out of my mind! My doctor couldn't take either drain out last week, and they may only be able to take one out on Tuesday. They want me to only do light walking and to rest. I have never watched so much tv in my life! My kids are equally bored and since my fiancé works out of state, there's no one to take my heathens some place to burn off energy. We are all on house arrest and it sucks! I've never wanted to go to the gym more in my life! However, silver lining, I am loving my body more every day. Each day the swelling is going down and looking even better. Just have to hang in there until I'm given the go ahead to get back to the gym and horse farm. Cannot wait!!

Pointy skin on my hips
I just took a shower and it's the first time I've taken off the garment. I have a big pointy area of skin on one side where it folds. Has anyone else experienced this and please tell me it goes away!

They're called dog ears and it might get smaller after the swelling goes down but typically need to be revised. I had a small one and had my scar revised and my dog ear but it failed to remove my dog ear and only made it bigger but I'm OK with that right now anyways. Happy healing and don't stress the ear to much.

oh wow I did have that at all everything is smooth as can be and I had a roll above my belly button too but my surgeon did what she called floating my belly button to move it down and make the top part flatten too. I hope a revision will help urs
