So Im on day 3 of my mommy makeover. I am feeling much better than the first 3 days. I did not update my page because that was the last thing I could possibly think about after the way I was feeling. So according to the DOC surgery went well, after surgery I stayed at the Hispano Americano Hospital for one night. The first night went well, I had no nausea which is very common after surgery the pain wasn't bad I was still under heavy meds I assume. Hours later I started feeling back pain but no pain in the incisions the nurse told me it was from the lipo I had done on my back. So everything continued normal and the day after the surgery I was discharged from the hospital before leaving home my DOCs assistant came over to put on the famous 'faja' the garment. That was pretty bad but I didn't complain since I knew before hand I would be very uncomfortable the first few days after MM, but as the dye passed the uncomfortable turned into pain and I thought to myself this is not normal.We called the DOCs assistant at 2am because I could not sleep I was in so much pain and she instructed me to go in to the DOCs office in the afternoon. I did and found out that they had out on me a 2XS garment when I am a medium and I thought NO WONDER, like I said I thought what I was feeling was normal until I could not take it anymore so that day at the DOCs office they changed my garment yesterday into a small and WHAT A RELIEF. I am feeling a thousand times better. Oh and at the DOCs yesterday July 4, 2014 which was day 2 they also took out fluid from my lower back the DOCs assistant said thats normal. It was a little painful but nothing crazy. Right know the whats most uncomfortable I got to say is the drains. I am still very swollen..

Thank you so much for sharing, and so soon after surgery! I'm glad you got fitted in the right size faja. What size implants did you decide to go with?
July 7, 2014
390 cc implants.

390cc ?? They look really great and big. How do you feel? Do you think they are big?? I am getting 650. I am 5'8' and am a little in thick side. His is your pain now??

The picture I had uploaded was from the first days. Now boobies have settled a little and swelling has gone down. At the beginning they seemed like they were too big now the size seems perfect to me I would get bigger or smaller I love the size they are not too big ok my but still big. Pain.. never really felt pain in my boobs I get stings here and there but not really much. The boobs just feel so hard and stiff the first couple weeks. Pain in regards to the mommy makeover was from where I got lipo the rest was not bad at least none I could feel with the pain meds.

I think you are a little ahead of me on the time line. Hope you are feeling better and that you like your new look.

I had my surgery on July 1st. Incisions healing good, just still swollen mostly where I got lipo on love handles and back. I am not 100% yet comfortable moving around but almost there. I can do most of the stuff on my own by now. Husband returned to work on my week 2 so I had to start doing everything on my own by that time. The first 2 weeks seemed the longest now I almost feel like I'll be over this in no time. I return to work on the upcoming Monday so we will see how that goes. How you feeling? Oh and thanks for asking

Day 9

I had my Drains out on day 9. What a relief that is though I got to say it was painful getting them out. Those things are like way in there and it felt like they were getting attached to something inside me. I thought they were going to come out with my pieces of my organs (I know I exagerate) but that's how it felt. You feel free without those things though so much easier to move around, shower etc.
