I am 7 weeks post op. I am in a size 10 now (down from a 16). My breasts are a 36 D down from a 40 DDD. Today was a bit of swell hell but still decided to sit by the pool. For the first time since I was 13 years old, I was in a bikini.

You look amazing. Did you get lipo on your upper thighs? Also did you get the Exparel injection? I am ready to make my appointment, May I ask your height and weight before the mommy makeover?
May 16, 2016
Ho! I ended up getting breast reduction and lift. Tummy tuck with lipo of upper epigastric area and flanks. Nothing done to my back or thighs. My weight before surgery was 218. I am 191 today. And i am 5 foot 3.

And yes i did get the exparel. Can't imagine the pain w/o it.

It's ok. I hope I come out looking great like you. I want my thighs, tummy, but done. Lol below mommy makeover
May 16, 2016
He did not suggest lipo of the thighs to me.
May 16, 2016
I wanted lipo of my back as well but my iron was low and would not support all of the blood loss. I am FINALLY starting to like my results. Its hard post op but its worth it.

When do you wear your garment?
May 16, 2016
My Hgb was a 10.4 pre op and an 8 post op. Up until about a week ago i wore my garment 23 hours a day. Only took it off to shower. Now i wear my binder, garment and abdominal board during the day at work (at least 11 hours).

I am a tough cookie but recovery was hard. Worth it but still hard.

AMAZING SUPPORT SYSTEM

yetramc
Well, got a text from my mom telling me to check her Amazon account because she has ordered me some items for surgery. I go into her account and see that she has ordered me a wedge contour bed set to use instead of a recliner as well as an Air Relax Air Compression leg massager for blood and lymphatic circulation. My husband asked today what I still had left to buy for surgery or for my preop diet because he is off today and wanted to get the last of my things taken care of on his day off!!! I am so blessed to have my primary support system on board!!!! My dad and my husband will be taking me to surgery and my Mom (who is a nurse practitioner and works nights) will meet us at my house after surgery and will take over my care for the first week following surgery. And did I mention that my dad is a respiratory therapist. AMAZING SUPPORT SYSTEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Surgery date is getting closer and closer. I am scheduled to go back to my surgeon's office tomorrow for a hemoglobin recheck as my levels were a little low at 10.4. My surgeon's office is not too concerned but wanted to ensure that it was not an error with the lab. So to all of those who have transitioned to the flat side and those of us still waiting with anticipation I say, We Got This!!!!!

that's great! I am an RT too@ Getting TT with Dr. Davoudi.
March 18, 2016
OMG your day is almost here!!!! So excited for you. Do share how was the preop and the liquid diet?????
March 18, 2016
YES!!! I go in on Monday! Gotta be there at 7am. This liquid diet has been a BEAST!!!! LOL. The bigger issue for me has been not being able to have a glass of wine at night after I get off work. LOL. My PS advises that we stop alcohol use a week prior to surgery because alcohol is a natural blood thinner. LOL. I am sooooo tired of soup!!! will be soo glad when I can eat again. It's funny that when you can't have it, you crave some of the weirdest stuff.
I have spent the last few days getting everything in order. My wedge system that I will be using for sleep came in the mail last week. I picked up all of my post op medications on yesterday. My air compression lymphatic/leg massager came yesterday. I work today and am off on tomorrow. I am on call on Sunday (hoping EVERYONE goes to work). LOL. Then will leave my house about 5 am on Monday because I have to be at the hospital by 7 and Atlanta traffic can be SOOOOOO unpredictable. I am ready. Still nervous but a different kind of nervous.
March 18, 2016
I forgot you were using Dr. D as well. Sorry!!! LOL.
April will be here before you know it!!!! The week has really been a whirlwind!!! it went by so fast. I will try to post some pics as soon as I feel up to it next week and I will definitely try to log on and at least check in as soon as I get home on Monday evening.
March 19, 2016
Yes please do let me know! I will pray all goes well for you on Monday. I ran this week starting to get things in order. Let me know how the wedge system works out for you. I am debating to buy one or just use the power recliner I already have.
October 29, 2016
Hi yetramc what all did you eat on your liquid diet?
