WORTH IT$26,000
Every time I move I gain more weight I have even been going to a personal trainer 2x. Per week and never eat fast food. Since 2007 I went from 130-192 I was able to get down to 162 in 2012 but moved twice since and it started getting really bad.
Had my surgery on Thursday. I had a sleep over at the clinic everything was OK until I walked the first time it was wretched. I was able to get dressed the next morning and move to the hotel. I only got up to pee standing up using a funnel and a helper. Yesterday Saturday things got a little better. Went to target and ate dinner in the lobby. My left but cheek and where my drains are ache. I really want a shower but I'm scared to take the garment off. I am able to sit and pee still haven't pooped I think my belly is being shy. So far I wush I had not done it after the third day of my breast augmentation I was able to work. I am struggling to do my home work sitting up. Have not find fininshed it yet. I was hoping to be able to drive and get around by Tuesday. I am excited for my follow up appointment tomorrow it does not come fast enough.
I liked staying in the facilities afterwards the nurses were really good to me and checked on me often I wanted to continue to stay there lol.
My left drain drains a lot but the right one barely any more

First shower

zombie hunter
Went for my check up today everything looked good. they cleaned my drains. my friend came to help me shower felt so good to have the garment off. but after about an hour and a half i needed it back on pronto. it was washed and cleaned. I neglected to bring my band-aids and 4x4 to the hotel I had to send my friend to the store. Wish I would have been prepared it was extremely uncomfortable to have the garment off for so long. The good news the edema in my feet has been relived. I cannot believe how flat my belly is i am a bit concerned with my top half may be her camera angle or maybe swelled from being outside the girdle my hands have been swollen. I need to rest now, its been a long day.

asked to go back to the doctor

After showering and everything yesterday my garment was very uncomfortable. Went and saw the PA today she cut my padded around my belly a few inches. It fits so much better.. She cleaned my dressings and made the padding fit better around my breast. I am so happy I asked if they could help me I didn't think of that. I also love that the hotel has a shuttle. This is great not having to take a cab every time. Just woke up from a nap and feeling all around better. She also said the swelling in my upper back will go away once I can stop wearing my garment.

That's wonderful, glad that you are doing well and are feeling more comfortable not having to wear the garment any longer.
