You're going to do well. Just remember, compression is very, very important. Wear your garment 24/7 except of course when you shower. Purchase topifoam or ask Dr. Lee for an ACE bandage for when your garment gets loose before you get your phase 2 garment. And please make sure they wrap a binder over your garment after surgery.

I checked your list of all the things you need. I'm going to get my stuff together tomorrow. How long did you wear the compression garment?

January 5, 2016

I'm still wearing my cg and I'm over one month post op. I stopped wearing it at night not too long ago but started back wearing it to bed after my stomach started swelling again.

Hello...I am considering Dr. Boutte too. How was the healing process? Did you do massages and if so were they expensive? Compared to some other doctors it seems that Dr. Boutte doesn't include massages and garments in her pricing so I am trying to see how much more expensive it will get.

I am exactly one week post surgery. I still feel very sore but I am not in pain and did not need to take any pain medication. I am able to walk and function with ease. The biggest challenge has been that I get tired very easily. This is probably because I have not been sleeping well due to the migraines I have and the tylenol doesn't work on them. Plus with all the compression I don't have an appetite at all. I have not done massages but I have had a lot of draining. I massage my stomach in the shower which helps.

Are you happy with your decision? I have see. So many bad reviews but I really want to be "tight" for the big 30 in May. Please be totally honest is it worth it??

It depends on what you want out of it. I was tired of looking pregnant in my clothes and now I have a nice shape so I am happy so far.

Almost ready.

So I'm getting ready to go to the airport. Although I have made lots of lists it still feels like I'm forgetting something. I started taking the antibiotics yesterday and I've packed way too many outfits because I'm not quite sure what to wear. I went for comfy leggings and loose shirts. I bought a lot of things that I don't mind getting messed up but also don't want to look homeless either. My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 10am. I'll be in Atlanta by noon so I have some time to sort through everything. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. I am definitely too nervous /excited to sleep.

It's cold here too so a few loose fitting outfits and compression socks are all you need. You won't be getting out.

January 11, 2016

Don't forget to get your prescription filled. You must bring the pills (for pain & nausea) with you to doc's office. I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!

January 12, 2016

TY. Just picked up my prescriptions.

January 12, 2016

Oh good! Now put it in your purse or luggage so you don't forget it. I feel like a mom sending her baby off to school for the first time. LOL. Again, I'm so very excited for you!!

So I had the surgery on Tuesday. I arrived super early because Atlanta traffic can be a nightmare. Nurse Lee and the staff were great. I spoke briefly to Dr. Boutte when it was over. They started pretty much on time. Took my vitals, pictures and measurements then I took 7 pills. Two percocet, two valium, one pill for nausea and two others I don't remember. I had the catheter installed and I don't remember too much else. The next thing I know I was dressed and given my parting vitamins and such. I got home and felt good. Not too hungry. I forced down a sandwich and 3 16 ounce cups of water. You're supposed to drink 4 but I couldn't keep anything down so I just went to sleep.
