I'm feeling better. Looking better. Wanted to share with you all pictures now that I'm 7 weeks post op. I will be going back in 4 months for more work. I believe that will be the last surgery for me as far as my body goes. Overall I'm satisfied with my results. The scar can be intense but it doesn't bother me all that much. I do plan on having it covered up with a tattoo. That's all for now. Just wanted to let you guys know that al is well and I haven't had any complications since having this procedure.

Feeling better, still swollen, I live in my faja and I'm able to stand up straight! I'm in a new faja. I have been shrinking and my stomach has flattened. Lower back is still very swollen. It is looking better nonetheless. The itching is on the rise! beginning this stage and not really liking it...Benadryl will be my best friend for some weeks. I'm happy about my progress overall I'm still sleeping on my recliner. Haven't attempted to get in my bed. I probably won't do so until I hit the one month mark just to be safe. I feel as though I definitely want Lipo on my mid section & back when I'm due to go back for my BA. I know I still am swollen so that may be a lot of what I'm seeing right now BUT I think that still may be something I want in the near future. I'll be back next week for my 4 week review! Yay! Happy to have it this far!

How do you take your own drain out?

I cut all the stitches(total of 4) around the drain site & pulled it out straight! Not upward or downward!

And to think I've been freaking out about having to remove my own catheter!
