Way to go Libby!  Your day is almost here and I bet you are getting excited. 

Congratulations on the weight loss; you must feel amazing after dropping the weight.

Keep us up to date on your progress and do share your pictures of the pre and post op.  It is really exciting to see all of the changes that take place each month.

The worst part is really the lipo. the bruising, swelling and stinging at the lipo site and around it is the worst. The drains are also a pain but other than that it really has been smooth sailing.

I can say, take it easy but get up and moving as quickly and as much as you can..it is the key to a speedy recovery. I'm walking upright now at 5 days for most of the day and I have been sleeping in my bed and getting in and out alone without help. Being self sufficient encourages your healing!

5 days post op and am sooo glad that I had this procedure done. The recovery has not been near as bad as I imagined and I scared myself for nothing. I will say though that the lipo is a bugger! If it weren't for that it would really be smooth sailing! I am already extremely bored and can't wait until I can start doing something! Ladies this is worth it for sure..don't scare yourself into thinking its terrible and unbearable. You can handle it and will do great.

U must be doing as well as I am...Other than bouts of swelling in my breasts that feel like I have to feed quadruplets, I feel normal. Now if i have to cough or sneeze, that's when my belly hurts most. Implants are much more hassle than a TT, but I am not even needing pain meds. I take them if i nap (extra strength tylenol) and 1 vicodin before bed, which is kicking in now. I am taking it easy during the day though, but it does get boring.
