almost 4 days out now
Well I had my surgery friday morning and it's now monday. Sorry I haven't updated like I wanted to but I'm having wifi issues at my home. I came home Saturday afternoon but had the options to stay in the hospital another day. I woke up this morning after FINALLY getting a nights rest feeling like I had been hit and drug by a cement mixer. My tummy was super swollen and I just felt down and out lowsy. Well I finally had my 1st bowel movement since a day prior to the surgery and I think that was adding to the increased uncomfortability! In all honesty the recovery so far is going pretty smoothly! My dr and his staff are amazing people! I get to see my miracle surgeon tomorrow at 1030 and can't wait to see what he has to say about how I'm healing. My drains haven't been putting much fluid out, hopefully that's a good thing! Last night I took just under 30 out of each tube then at 530 am I took out about 25 from my right tube and 0 from the left. Here are some pics of the surgery sites, they're not pretty but in time they will be perfection to me! Also, this is very personal, but I'm an open book, anyone else had the surgery did their female region change? Mine is actually lifted and quite smaller than before surgery...no complaints though!

I'm told that the lift does raise the perineum and labias
Well I'm living proof that it does! It's weird that area doesn't evendors look like me Nymore, can't complain I like it!
That's great a great plus! I'll have my TT Jan 5 2016-- gravity affects all the girl parts. Looking forward for that improvement.
Hi,
So happy you did something for yourself. Even happier that you are doing well.
Your scars look pretty thick. But I'm sure they will thin out... What did your surgeon say?
I was wondering if the lady parts would slim/raise... Good to know! I hate that area of my self... After 3 caesarean deliveries it's all flabby and yucky.
I look forward to your updates.

Well I saw the dr today and he explained to me that the incisions were sutures in a bunched fashion so when he takes the stitches out they will lay completely flat. And honestly I wasn't aware of the lady parts changing but mine did in a huge way. After having twins and a 3rd child.my area was chubby and wide and now I look like a totally different person down below and it looks fabulous. I'm gonna post the pics from today a d they look 100%better than the previous photos I actually have the makings of a 6 pack starting! I will try to post the photos now. Thank you for your well wishes I don't have many girlfriends or family to share my progress and or struggles with that relate to the mental anguish I've dealt with for all these years I constantly hear from.my mom"if you'd stop being lazy and work out that skin would've went away" well little did she know that after years of healthy eating and exercise that's what I was left with! Thanks again for the support!
Anytime! I don't have anyone other thN my hubby to share my thoughts with as well. But, being that he is a MAN he can only understand so much!! LOL!
About the being lazy part... Don't fret! People are always gonna say ignorant things. Just let it all roll off your shoulder and stick to the positive and constructive criticism people :)

Where are you from dear? Have you had this procedure yet or are considering it?
You're right...people will say whatever. Haters gonna hate. But you did it....that takes courage. Best to you.
Mine lifted a little, though not as much as I would've liked, I can't complain! :D You look great, and it'll just get better as swelling comes down
