It's almost time. I'm terrified! I'm praying for safe surgery, great results and fast healing and no complications. I'm not having MR as my surgeon says I don't need it. I gained #85 with my daughter 3 years ago and I have lost it all including my butt. I'm so nervous and anxious. Will be updating as I go.

Day 1-11 update

Summerlover28
The day of surgery my pain was horrific but that didn't last long. My husband called Dr. Hamel's office and a doctor and a nurse was sent to my hotel room with Demerol and stronger pain meds. My pain was under control after that. I took my pain meds every 4 hours around the clock day 1.
Day 2 continued to take pain meds around the clock. I was pretty miserable for the 1st three days. Mostly discomfort.
The BBL hurt a lot longer than the TT and so did the lipo. I felt like I weighed 500 pounds. It was hard to get around.
Day 6 mimal pain and my drain was removed that didn't hurt.
Day 8 I was off all pain meds.
Today I have an area on my incision that I was concerned about and Dr. Hamel asked to come in. It was a stitch that had not dissolved. He cleaned it out and placed me on an antibiotics. I just pray that's all it is. I'm very pale and have been running g a low grade temp. I finished a 10 day course of antibiotics last night. Swelling is going down.pretty fast now. I'm drinking a lot of water and taking iron. I had an allergic reaction to something so he ordered 7 days of prenisone. I'm still slightly hunched over more in the mornings than at night.
