Hey dolls
Hubby bought me this comfy recliner. Need help getting out but i know it'll get better!
Hello dolls.

My back is painful from the aggressive lipo again and having to hunch over! Im so grateful for my husband. Hes helping alot. He bought me a nice Simmons Recliner to sit Inland live in. Its way more comfortable than the bed. You'll need this recliner dolls.
prescriptions
ANYONE HAVE an issue getting Talwin filled? Im unable to find it feom here t ok houston. I have a bottle from before but on my last pill with next dose. I had np problem getting this filled in Septembr. Ang suggestions?
1st Shower experience
My first shower was a little uncomfortable but I felt great afterwards.The water pressure was a bit much for my abdomen and caused a contraction to the muscles which was painful but bearable. Here's some after shower pics. Oh and i finally pooped. There was a hardening of the stool and my body didn't have the strength topping itn out. I ate aome nn oatmeal and then drank some water followers by a milk of Magnesium infused pineapple juice and it worked like a charm.
1post op appointment
Things went great! Got my areola stitches out and drains out. Also got into a tight garment. And omg its tight. He wants to maximize my results my squeezing them to death lol he said he n lipoed the he'll out of my back and chicken wing...and in can feel it. Also ladies I got my script at CVS next to his office! So lucky!!!! Alsi I told him I love my breast, everyone said they look like implants. He makes his incision only underneath and on the side closest to your arm so you'll have great cleavage! HE CALLS IT HIS SPECIAL LIFT TECHNIQUE!
8days post op
Ive just taken another shower. Im very swollen. I think everything will look great in the end. Im only waking up once during the night. Still sleep in recliner. Abdominal muscles still sore, and the skin is very sensitive to touch. Ive ordered more muscle relaxers, the original script was for 15, I just took the last one. They are much needed. I also recievwd my first post op lymphatic massage.it went well. It was very hard to put garment back on but we did it! Well let me go loves, im getting nauseated as i type.
11 day p.o. update!
Hi ladies! I had my second lymphatic drainage massage today. When I went in for surgery I was 215lbs, After Surgery 225lbs, Last Saturday 221lbs, Today after massage 210lbs, and I expectnto loose more today. On my massage days I usually loose alot of fluid. Ill get my hunny to take pics now before I put on garment. Stay tuned!!
post opm bra
This is the snap front bra that I use. Get the $10 one its wonderful. Do not get the $8 one. Its sold at Wal-Mart. It smoothies the back and all the way under arm. Offers a little extra compression also. And super comfy!
Garment change!
HELLO DOLLS! ive changed into a smaller garment today which is a xL... and omg its soooo tight. Hubby completely skipped the first hooks and went straight for the second... im stiff as a board. Hopefully it loosens a bit today as I move around a little. Its a little uncomfortable but nothing unbearable. I get up once nightly!!! Today I take my last antibiotic. My poop is still extra hard even with me drinking alot of water and the stool softener. Oh and I cheated last night. It was $0.55 margarita night at Casa ole and I had one with some fajita nachos. Suprisenly I didnt wake up swollen. That was pure luck. Well talk to you dolls soon!
Compression Bra!
With 80+ reviews (only a few negatives) I'm goingto give this onea try! I like the idea of it offering compression. Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: Marena Surgical Bra with 2" Elastic Band (F5 Certified Compression Garment)

The day before the lovely MzPhatBooty sent me a link the day before so I clicked it and ordered.

I don't know what happened to the review but I had a message in the box.
I said:
My last lymphatic massage visit the therapist said there was alot of swelling and hard spots underneath my arm and next to my breast and I needed a compression bra. Well the Lovely MzPhatBooty had sent me the above link the day before. So I revisited the site and the bra is on its way. Ill let you ladies know how it fits!

Still Bruised :-(
During my prep I was stuck 3x to get a line. During sx my arm was on a board for 8 hours (standard procedure) to run sedation meds. When I woke up I realized my IV was infiltrated and neednto come out. BIG PROBLEM. My bicep in that arm hurt badly from being flexed and kept having spasms. They removed IV . I had to be stuck 5x by 3 nurses. The last nurse got it on the fifth stick which was her first try with a tiny 22 needle and cannula. They thought the anastesiaologist would have to put a line in my neck. I screamed HELL NO. I think i fussed the entire time since waking up. I was very swollen everywhere with veins invisible hints them trying so many times. Here are the pics from today of my bruises 17 days later.
Exercise!
I walked 32 minutes at 2.2 mph for starters. The. At my post op today Cortes told me I should be exercising now but no heavy weights yet! Im so excited. I go back in two weeks. He gave me injections to help swelling and said I shall get them every time now!
Victoria's Secret!
Im so excited to not buy expensive bras. I need a 36D from there but other stores is a 36C!!!

itch!
Breast itching terribly.... help.. . Tt scar does every once in a while. Benadryl doesn't help
The perfect bottom.
Ive found the vedette 203 size 40. Compresses my tummy to the max. Waiting on my corset vest. Its very comfy. Doesnt rise up leg when sitting. This is the perfect compression bottom. Exactly what I was looking for!!!
Vedette 507...Not impressed
Doesnt look bad. Fits tight on legs. Loose on lower belly where I want the compression. May return for the vedette 203. This 507 is a size 40.
FOLLOW-UP

My left breast started leaking a little and opened up in a few spots and started cracking at the bottom. Any suggestions ladies? I go back to doc on Wed.
Antibiotic Therapy
Helllo dolls. I recieved a call from Deanna at 7:57am. Dr Cortes must havr seen my pics or some special doll sent it directly to him ;-). He gave my an antibiotic for 7 days. I go into the office on Wed. It got worse overnight and formed a sac/seroma of sorts. Its very tender and hot. I must have irritated it with sweat because my scabs had just fallen off. Well everything will be fine soon because Dr. Cortesnisnthe best doctor ever. I just hope it doesnt scar :-(.

My infected area now has a rash. Deanna recommends I use OTC HYDROCODONE And oral benadryl and to be careful not to put the cream in the open area which can cause a severe delay in healing.
