WORTH IT$18,999
My nerves are getting to me. My surgery is in 2 days. I have selected Dr. Nick Slenkovich to do the procedure for me. I was impressed with the time he and his staff took for me at my first consult. He used 3D imaging to show me the possible size of my implants. I am excited to see the results, but not so excited about the down time and the healing process. I am anxious that I will gain weight during healing which will make me go back to where I was before I lost my weight. I am sure all the things that are freaking me out are "normal" but I am scared. Thanks for sending positive thoughts to me, if I could post a photo I would but I don't have any files on my computer.

My comment "Nasty, not meant to be critical, just that the scars are quite prominent in these photos...You are brave , and informative, to show people that this is no walk in the park...It's a serious amount of surgery to have and to heal from...enjoy your new look...

Hi everyone! I felt like I was doing great until the drain issues. Now I find myself worrying about infections and final results. My surgeon had my hubby send a photo and then suggested we clean it up as much as possible and go ahead and move into the compression garment. It has come out two additional times. I am so worried about infection and them coming out again. I'm worried my legs aren't getting the circulation needed. It's still hard to get up on my own and haunt goes back to work tomorrow

Drain site leaking a lot
Hello! Had my mommy makeover on Wednesday and today the area in which my drains come out is leaking a lot of fluid is this normal?

I know leakage varies from person to person. This is why some people have drains for a few days abs others have them for a week. But if it's leaking a lot around the drain tube, maybe give your doc a call-just to put your mind at ease. Hang in there Heather!!:)

Hey Heather! I look forward to seeing your results! I'd def just check with ur doctor about the drain leakage.

Hi Heather. Hoping your healing is progressing. Happy Thanksgiving! I wanted to ask if you had general anesthesia or an epidural with sedative. Take care!

I had general and feeling pretty good! Thanks for the check in!( I'm pretty sure it was just general), however I'm thankfully still kind of numb in my abdominal area
You're welcome! Thanks for your contributions to RealSelf!
