I still can't get in my clothes!! AHHHHH!!!!!! Ok, girls so here is what I found out......I knew that I would be swollen, but I thought hey, lots of skin gone+swelling=I can still fit in the same clothes.....but, yeah, no......anyways, to the swelling, honestly-I didn't know that when the PS did lipo they put fluid in, which of course weighs more than the fat taken off does, also it weakens and causes fluid to leak into the tissue, again more swelling, plus all the trauma from the surgeries, more swelling......I know this sounds crazy, but I didn't expect to be 10-15 pounds heavier post surgery due to swelling.....so ladies considering and going through this chin up and just brush off the crappy PS reviews that say it's you......will keep you updated as I attempt to get back into my clothes.....I am keeping on my healthy diet, staying hydrated and getting back to moving, lots, which isn't hard when keeping up with three kids!

Okay, so today is my first day without drain tubes...
donnajMarch 23, 2012
Okay, so today is my first day without drain tubes and I am seeing why they are soooo important and what a difference they make. Plus, to the surgeons who say no to the binders....I have to disagree, they keep the fluid from building up, I have added two new pics today, one from this morning, one from this evening, just to show the amount of fluid that is retained during the day. SO LADIES-don't be discouraged if you are checking out your sexy body in the evening.....this is temporary and in the morning, all will be well!

My mom had a mini with a hysterectomy, it was pretty rough too......I think the recovery is the same, for me, if you can make it through the frist couple of days all else is gravy!
March 24, 2012
I had to smile when I read the all else is gravy! I'm from the south and would hear that often there but I am now living far north and have not heard it once in the time we have been here. Glad you are doing well. You look amazing!!

You Look amazing, You can already tell the difference. What size cup did you ended up being? I have my surgery on the 27th of April
March 22, 2012
I won't quit be able to tell until all the swelling goes down but at the least a D, but possibly a DD, I started out at a B, I wasn't going for a D, I just tried on the CC sizes in my PS office and that's the ones I liked! I think they look more natural than everyone (my mom)expected....
March 22, 2012
Thank you Donnaj, You look wonderful. I am trying to figure out the size I wanna be, my doctor tells me that a D cup will look great on my body shape. Currently I am a e cup in my breast and ddd in the left breast. So may be a small D will look good. I just dont want to look like Dolly Parton,, LOL
March 23, 2012
I don't think you will! I don't know how sizing down works but I liked using the "rice test" to see what size I felt best in and the 560 cc felt great to me! even though I went up from a B to a full D or DD, I don't feel like they are in the way and I don't have a small frame and feel like that fit me, I don't want to be skinny, I still like my curves....

Hi donnaj! I too had a mommy makeover on the 15th and am on day 7 of recovery. Glad you are doing well. I have 3 children, 3 yrs and under (twins), so i havent seen my two youngest, which is the hardest part for me. I had a minnie tuck, so im not sure the diffference in recovery time. take care. you look amazing
March 23, 2012
Hey!! My kids are staying with my mom and I stayed home with my husband for the first few days but now I am with my parents so I can see my kids and still have help!! I have heard the mini isn't as extensive but is still surgery! Hope you feel better soon and get to see those babies! That has made my recovery better just being with my kids but someone there to take care of them :)
March 23, 2012
it definitely is. the incision is very wide but very low. i had muscle tightening, but with not belly button revision. And I only have one drain. I am interested in the recovery time difference between the full and minnie, since i should bounce back a little sooner, i think. Everything I read is regarding a regular TT. It's hard to find a lot on minnies.
