Post OP Appointment
I went to my Post OP Appointment on Wednesday! Dr. Barlow was very happy with my results and with the healing. Whew
I was so nervous about the redness on my right nipple but just like you ladies said, it is normal. YAY
He said that the skin on my nipples may peel but new skin will grow back and should be my normal color.
After that was out of the way I asked how much tissue he ended up taking out and he said all together was about 5 pounds!!!
As for the Lipo, he said he took out a total of 3 liters of FAT! Which equals to about 6 to 6 1/2 pounds! Wow, I just couldn't believe it. I'm so glad I did both at the same time, because I definitely don't see myself wanting to go under the knife again. LOL
This was also the first day I wore something besides PJ's and I felt that my breast still looked pretty full.
Made me kinda wish they were a little smaller but hey, they're 5 pounds smaller then they were before!
I'm still extremely happy with them but I believe I may be a D cup. Hmmmmm
How long should I wait to get measured? I have no knowledge what so ever on buying a bra from a regular store. LOL
I have been wearing SOMA bras for years so I don't know how long I should wait or where I should even go. I'm really courious to know my final size.
Just thought I'd mention, I go back to work on Monday- UGH!!!
I am a Customer Service Manager and although I have an office job, it is very fast paced and extremely busy everyday. I wish I had at least one more week off! But I know theres no chance, they have been calling me everyday this week to check on me and also make sure I am still coming back on Monday.
On another note, I really appericate everyone of you! Your encouraging words are life savers!
Happy Healing- lil next time :)

Two Weeks Down- Yay
Well today actually makes 13 days for my procedure. I'm feeling really good, able to do a lot more now but still taking it very easy.
Funny story- the same day I complained about my drains I received a call on my cell phone that said Dr. Barlow. Mind you it was 9:30pm. This is exactly how the conversation went.
Me-Hello
Dr- Hi Marylou, this is Dr. Barlow
Me- Hi Dr. Barlow.
crickets.....................
I looked down at my phone because I thought maybe we lost connection.
Me- Hello??
Dr- chuckles- well I really don't know how to tell you this but Eileen (his wife) just read your message about your drains and said to me if I do not take them drains out of you immediately I am not allowed on her bed!
Me- I laughed so loud
Dr- So if you would be willing to have someone drive you to the office right now I would be more than happy to take them out for you.
Me- OMG no, that's ok I can definitely wait until the morning. I heard his wife saying something in the background but I couldn't understand her.
Dr- Marylou I would be so happy if you could get over here tonight and let me do this for you.
Me- Okay, if you insist. LOL
My husband drove me up there which is 30 minutes from my house. I was so happy to get them out and the best part was I didn't feel a single thing! I was back home at 11pm.
I would like to go on record saying I love Dr. Barlow's wife Eileen! LOL
On another note, after my shower tonight I noticed some redness on my right nipple. It kinda looks like it's peeling, not sure if I should be worried. When I removed the dressings prior to my shower, only the ones on my nipples had discharge. It was brownish red, didn't smell or anything. All the others below my breast were dry. I'm sure the draining is normal but that redness has me a little worried. My husband said it just looks like it's peeling. Should it be peeling? Anyway, I decided to take a few pics so maybe if this has happened to one of you.
My stomach area is really swollen and sore still. I changed the compression because it was so tight it was cutting my skin a little. I have one that is a lot looser. I know that may not be what I should have but hey, I need to breathe. Lol
My stomach area looks a lot bigger now than before lipo. lol
Hope everyone is healing nicely and is happy with your results!
Happy New Year :)

Week 1 Post Op
Well here I am! Seven days Post Op! I can't believe how fast the time flew by. I've been doing really well, just relaxing. I'm bored out of my mind but I know I need to stay patient and let nature take its course. I have taken a few showers since my procedure and on Monday night all of the tape around my incisions completely came off so I seen the real mc coy for the first time. Lol
I'm scared to lift them to get a good look at the bottom side but I don't feel any pain so I guess it must be good. My next appointment is this Friday, I can't wait because these drains are driving me INSANE!!!
I absolutely hate the drains. they collected less than 30cc from day one and for the last two days they have stayed empty! They're just a nucense and I want them out of me. I'm sure once they are removed I will feel even better. They hurt when I move and rub against some of the bras I wear. UGH
I have read in some posts that it will hurt when they come out so I'm a little worried about that but at this point it would be worth the pain. LOL
I'm a little confused now they there is nothing on my breast if I should put Neosporin or something on them? Do I just leave them dry? They aren't leaking or anything cause my bras are clean when I remove them but I don't want them to get infection. The office is closed until Friday and I have sent texts and emails to the doctor but haven't received any replies :(
Oh well, hopefully everything will be ok.
We shall see.

Provider Review
Dr. Barlow is a very intelligent man that was soft spoken but to the point. He answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable at the consultation.
