I scheduled my surgery this am and am very excited! But a tad nervous at the same time. I have a huge belly that needs to be taken off as well as breast reduction (starting at HH-- at least). I will have 4 drains total, but she tummy ones will stay in for 2 weeks. YUCK! I am not looking forward to those. I've never had drains but heard they hurt. I guess I will get quite comfortable with my recliner, as I hear it's not easy to lay down. Any advice?

They took off 19 lbs of my belly and 2.5 lbs off each breast. So a 24 lb loss, that I don't see yet due to fluids, gas and swelling. These drains are nasty, I can't wait to get these out!! I have 4 total... Well 3 now, one fell completely out. Yuck! It looks like my "who ha" has a little tweaking too. Like the poof at the top is no longer there. It's a much more slimmer looking "who ha".

Hi tildymom How you doing? I'm at home at last , 7 weeks post surgery wound still needs dressing and red, although not leaking anymore, not able to return to work yet, feeling fed up now. I'm able to get about more but haven't drove yet. Take care

I am 7 days PO and doing great! I cannot wait to get rid of these drains. That's truly the worst part. One of them felt funny yesterday and then later I looked down and it was OUT

I am a 46 H or J and very ready for smaller breasts. I have had 2 c sections, double hernia, partial hysterectomy, ovary removal and bowel surgery all done at the same site, which had increased the belly each time. Since my heaviest I have lost a total of 80 lbs but the belly and boobs have not changed one size.
