Saturday 6/4 - Day 23
I started work Wed. but just worked for 1/2 day since I needed to see my PS. Work was good - I work in an office. Just a few of my co-workers know about my sx - the others didn't noticed anything different :)
My PS said everything is looking good, removed a couple of stitches from my back from the lipo and gave me a silicone sheet to cut into size to cover all the scars.
The other 2 days were full days but felt great even in the evening - swelling levels are getting lower every day.
I been sleeping in my bed for about 5 days already and it gets more comfortable every day. I can sleep slitelly on my sides.
No medications still - feeling better every day :)

Saturday 5/28 – Day 17
Every day it gets easier. I have not taken any pain meds for over a week. My tummy drains were finally removed Wednesday (Day 14)… they were 15cc & 25cc/24hrs – it was quick and painless for me thank God! On this day he removed all surgical tapes and clipped any stitches that were sticking out. PS instructed me to wear my binder 24/7 – this will most likely be for another 4 weeks and to put on bandage/gauze on the drain incisions until they heal. He said to expect to be swollen but it will go away as I heal. I can shower again! 1st time my hubby helped me but after on my own – just taking it slow to avoid any mishaps. I purchased another binder to have a spare when I wash it. I didn’t by another bra garment – I hand wash it and put it in the dryer for about 20-30 minutes which is not a long time with it off (I forgot to ask how if he wants me to wear it for the same amount of time as the binder but will call Wed. to find out). Everything looks good – will try to take a picture to post a before/after view.
I managed to go grocery shopping yesterday – here in NYC everything is walking distance and the market is just 1 long block away. This shop has delivery option so that was great too! I was a bit tired but it also has to do with the weather – warm and humid. I managed well to put everything away, had a small snack and rested – within a few minutes I was ok. I didn’t swell more than usual so I was happy about that. I will continue to avoid any lifting or similar stuff to insure a seamless recovery :)

I am also a 34dd and my surgeon told me that i would be a C or D after my lift, are your scars nice and neat, my surgeon is going to use tissue glue as well as internal stitches as it gives a better finish and less chance off infection.I cant wait to have it done even though i am a BIT nervous
