Wow! It's been a hectic and blurry week and a half. The first 3 days were a blur. I emotionally broke down on the morning of day 3 and immediately decided I was done with the pain meds. Went to Tylenol only. I was at home with the kids around in the evenings and I wanted to be as clear headed as I could be; the pain was awful from the lipo'd areas.
Day 5, I made my way out of the house on my own for a few hours. Felt good to move and be out. And that lead to a weekend of business and learning to maneuver life dealing with the pain - getting up and down from seated and laying down positions was the worst - but you have to try figure it out on your own at some point.
I went back to work on day 7 for half a day. Had my tubes removed from lower abs on day 8, and I've keep on going. I feel better moving than not. I get very stiff from sitting too long - have to switch back and forth. It's uncomfortable with this garment and foam on all day/night, but I am determined to do what the doc says - which is keep this on 24/7 right now (outside of showering now).
Speaking of this foam thing inside the CG....it sucks! Keeps my abs straight so as to not heal with a crease were I naturally bend when sitting/slouching. It is a pain to stick the foam down the CG with the gauze over the areas where incisions from tubes are. Pain to find clothes that I can where; and I still look my old shape with all this on and the swelling.
No pics right now. I am not taking naked pics; and really not much to see with my crotchless onesnie on (as I am lovingly calling it now).
So far I am very happy with the decision to get lipo and my BA. The pain of the BA is a walk in the park in comparison to lipo. Love the size of my new breasts! I was worried about a D-cup being too big for me. It's all perception and what looks good with the frame of your body. I am confident I chose the right doc and happy I did not second guess his recommendation.

I feel like I've been run over by a Mac truck. Having two procedures done at the same time...no words. My breasts are sore and a little painful, on my lower abs and sides are killing me. Getting out of bed and back in has been excruciating. So thankful that I spent The last 24 hours in the hospital with great nurses to care for me. So on my own now, I hear today and tomorrow will probably be my worst days. I have my surgical bra on and a compression garment that starts at my bra line goes all the way down past my knees. Super comfortable until I have to change my dressings. Still leaking a good amount of fluids… Yuck! Now to find a comfortable way to take a nap.

Hi... I hope things are going well for you =) I was wondering what size of implant did you decide to go with? And what happened with your results of the biopsy..obviously it wasn't serious. .thank goodness... .just wondering what they actually found?

I went with the 400cc anatomical and I'm real happy I trusted my doctor and husband's opinions. Biopsy was fine. Just fibrous tissues...thanks for asking! It was pretty nerve racking right before doing my BA and Lipo! How are you doing? Still waiting for your day?

Surgery went great had no idea what even happened! Survey was at 7:30a- lasted about 4 hours. But I'm in my own room at the hospital for another 10 hours. Best decision by my doc ever to stay overnight! Not going to lie…lipo is a mean b-z! Hurts to move!
