I'm and ready to live again. My husband passed over 3 years ago. The kids are all grown and I've decided it's now time to get started on my bucket list.
I've wanted to have a TT for some time. But other things always were more important.
I've gotten to the point where I hate to look in the mirror.

I had my TT/ lipo yesterday. All went well. When I arrived I had all kind of thoughts: was it a bad decision, was the pain going to much, what if I didn't come out of it ? Well we can all see I made it.
The hardest part was watching tears swell in my daughter's eyes. I knew I had to be strong for her.
Surgery was scheduled for 12 p.m. I don't remember anything after 12:15. My Dr and the staff were great. The surgery took close to 3 hours and I was home by 5.
The pain is bearable so far. My daughter woke me throughout the night giving me meds every 4 hours. I also am taking antibiotics.
The suggestions I've received from the site have been very helpful. The recliner has been a blessing. Learning from others on the site let me know what to expect; even though everyone is different. Just the support you receive from others is AWESOME.
I'm getting tired so off to see the Sandman.

1/23 surgery done and back at home and my day is over so I thought. I have a whole day missing
I remembemy daughter giving me my paid at 9. Surgery went I came home. My daughter said we were talking and my my breathing becomes labored. She begins slapping me. Only thing I remember is snowflakes on my face and the ambulance ride.
We get to the hospital it's 3 days later and I'm still in here. The general consensus seems that I had a bad reaction to the pain meds (perocrt). I've had ekg, MRI 's. All types of scans , and blood work. It has been traumatic I'm still saying YES.

Oh wow. I hope you are ok. Keep us posted on your status at the hospital if you can. Get well and take care of yourself.

God bless sweetie all will be fine. I too am allergic to pain Meds. I ensured that I mentioned it to my PS during my consultation. I learned it through my recovery from a broken ankle. I will never forget I can't take morphine, or OxyContin.

Woopsie!! Not cool having to find out like that, of an allergy. Geez! Can't imagine your poor daughter's anguish. Anyways, look at it from the bright side, now you have doctors and nurses on watch (hope you have insurance) glad to hear that you are stable and on your way to recovery! :-)

Thanks for all your support. A little down and very swollen. Each day I remind myself I'm a work in progress.
January 30, 2014
Thinking of you and hoping all goes well from here. Sounds like you have had a rough time.
January 30, 2014
Thank you. I would choose to do it again. It's the first thing I've done for myself in a long time.

Today I was finally discharged from the hospital. Apparently I had a reaction to thr pain medicine.
The Dr says I can take Tylenol for pain if needed. Just getting dressed and the car ride home has me very tired. I'll be staying on the first floor for awhile. Still haven't looked at my stomach. All in the hospital said it looks great. Friday my PS said one of my drains out. YIPEE !!!!
