You look fantastic!!!
Thanks! It has been a tough road but I would still do it all over again. If I had the choice I would have done the surgeries separately. It was tremendous pain doing everything at the same times. But the worst is behind me.
I am hoping to have a BR in the spring. I am also wanting a TT but my age (63) makes me think I should do the two surgeries separately. Thanks for the feedback. That is something I will keep in mind going forward.
You look so good!!! Your surgery is a very beautifull success!
Thank you! Good luck on your surgeries!
You look amazing!

5 1/2 weeks today

So it has been slow getting back to my routine. If I don't wear my CG, I swell up really fast. If I DO wear my CG, I am struggling with the discomfort of the shoulder straps. Today I go in for follow up with Dr. Avila. I think my main discomfort is the burning sensation I have in the lipo areas. Feels like a really bad sunburn. And I get lower back spasms frequently. Also, when I cough, sneeze, laugh, I feel the muscles midline in my abdomen, get really tight. Feels like the muscles start to ball up. I had a cold for 9 days and it was hell trying to cough and sneeze. But no complications. Slowly getting energy back.

How did it go at the doctor's today? I know it's hard to really enjoy your results when you're so uncomfortable all the time but I'm on the outside looking in and you look fabulous!
All went well! I am released to slowly get back to normal activity without restrictions. How are you?

More pics

Still a lot of icky glue that I am slowly rolling off. And the bruising is now yellow. Still some drainage seeping out of drain holes but no odor and so glad to be drain free! Belly button reddish so applying polysporin and cleaning it twice a day. I will try and get better pics with hubbies camera tomorrow.

I am glad to see you more than two weeks out. I keep thinking that I will be less swollen under the arms after two weeks. Hang in there!
Your healing great!
You are looking really good!! Continued prayers for healing.
