Yesterday was shower day! And taking the garment off was weird! Thankfully no fainting, but I definitely sat back and held on.
More pain today than yesterday. I feel like I need a walker to get around - I'm fine as long as I'm bracing my arms on something, but the free floating hunch shuffle has my lower back in so much pain :(
On a happier note, labia swelling is down considerably! AND getting a look under the garment was such a neat moment :)
Did anyone else end up renting a walker or cane? Or is there some other way to ease the burden on the lower back?
We took some pictures, hopefully will be able to post a couple this evening.

Day of treatment
Oh goodness

No pain, no gain, right? Well, judging from this pain, I'm assuming my results are perfect :D
Surgery went great. They removed three-ish pounds of stuff, and now I'm a giant sausage.
Worst part at this exact moment? Labia swelling. I can tell that's going to be tender for a bit.
I've fallen into a routine of drinking water and eating crackers, and then evacuating said water and LOL fishing out crumbs from said crackers.
This is me - on the flat side!

So glad your procedure is finally done. Please make sure you rest and don't try to perform any strenuous task. The healing is a process and you didn't pay all that mommy to compromise your results. Patience in the healing process is definitely a virtue. Happy healing!!!

Thank you for your support! I'm so very lucky to have a wonderful husband waiting on me hand and foot. He even constantly reminds me "legs and arms" when he helps me stand :)

You're welcome. This forum provides some great advise and stories. Just glad you are able to have physical and mental support at home too. :)

Why are your labia swelling? Did you have thigh or mons lipo? Eat your yogurt! You don't want to add a yeast infection to that.

I know I had flank lipo, but there was other lipo involved as well. I spoke to the ps a bit ago, he said it was expected, but will subside.
And oh yes, all kinds of yogurt being consumed :)

Well, my TT is drainless, which might account for more swelling - but looking through other reviews and in the forum, I think it might be a fairly common thing.
