1 week post op + some ideas for the frugal ;)
WORTH IT$3,825
So I woke up today hella swollen. I had almost a whole bag of takis last night, I've been doing so well watching my sodium intake, but I def paid for it this morning :(
Anyway looking at my pic I'm encouraged to lose weight since Dr. Castor did tell me I wouldn't be completely flat unless I lost about 10 lbs.
I was telling another RS doll about how I bought some sheets of polyurethane from Walmart for $4, and got some questions in my inbox. If you want to but the brand name topi foam, Epi foam, lipo foam then by all means do so if you are leery of trying something else. However, I refuse to pay $40-50 for a name. I bought 100% polyurethane online from Walmart 4sheets 16x16 and cut them to fit my CG. They have different sizes to choose from. The brand is Ashford Textiles Poly foam.
Also, I made my own lipo board. Lol. Found out that it's only cardboard with some type of fabric over it. Soooo, I used all these Amazon boxed I've accumulated and made a couple different ones. I just cut an old pillowcase, folded it over the cardboard, and stapled it to the corners of the cardboard and voila! Lipo board :)
I feel so stable with my foam, board, CG, and binder or cincher on!!! I can't bend but oh well lol.
I had something else to add but I forgot. Don't judge me. I'm so glad today is a half day for school, and I get 2.5weeks to work out and heal even more without children bothering me every second(besides my daughter and nephew :/ ) anyways I'll update with another pic a week from today.
Oh I also want to mention nobody in my family knows I had the procedure done so I don't have anyone taking pictures of me and whatnot so I give ya what I can :-D

Am I a weirdo?
I feel like I should be in pain lol. -___- as much as I fretted over this and researched/over analyzed /read y'all reviews, I thought I'd be walking Like an old lady with a walker lol
Stopped draining last night thanknGod. That was horrible and gross. I took a shower this morning and it felt wonderful. The most pain I had was taking the tape off that was holding the gauze. Been out with my friend today. I took a couple acetaminophen before we went just in case I overdid it, but I feel fine. Like, I could have flown back home this morning instead of tomorrow, but I've enjoyed my little weekend vacation.
Dr. Castor called while we were out and I missed it but I called him back. He was just checking on me seeing if I had any questions. He said he got about 3liters of fat out of me. I'm not sure if I actually want to see it lol. I will probably come back out here in 6 weeks and stop by his office. They told me whenever I come they will work me in, I don't have to make an appointment.
I go back home tomorrow, I can't wait! I miss my daughter :(

I thought the same thing, doll. Started thinking pain was going to sneak up on me. Once the numbing solution your doctor injected wears off, your stomach will be very sensitive to touch. By day 3 or 4, it will feel like torture getting your garment on and off so take a Tylenol or two like 15 minutes before you remove garment.

Thanks for telling me. I sure was thinking, this is too easy, I know there's got to be a catch!!

LOL You're welcome. It will last for about 2.5 weeks (it did for me anyway), but again, Tylenol will help. Oh, getting in and out of your car is going to get difficult; again, Tylenol...

I'm don't think I'm going to update anymore. Seems kind of pointless since I don't think anyone is even reading it. If I have any complications I'll post that just for future reference. I'll prob still get on here occasionally and read others' reviews/progress

And it doesn't matter which doctor you went with, we're all family here and wish everyone success in his/her results. I have people as far as California send me messages with questions and I gladly, without hesitation, answer back as soon as I can. It's a Friday so folks probably won't respond to your post until either late this evening or sometime during the weekend, doll so please don't dissappear on us.

Everything is going well. Ready for this draining to stop! But no pain, no nausea, or anything. I'm still super numb so idk if I'll wake up in pain or not tomorrow. Took a couple acetaminophen but that's all
