Drains removed Day 12
JourneyContinuedDecember 29, 2020
I went day 7 and dr decided with the holiday to keep them in until after as my output was on the high side. Day 12 I went back to dr and drains were removed. I have lots of swelling still and have Ben keeping feet elevated unless I am up walking. Also in compression garment 24/7 except when I shower every other day and then air dry about 30 after (with legs elevated). After every surgery I always swell. It’s my bodies when to heal.

Could you tell us if it hurts upon getting up out of bed, sitting down on a chair or on the toilet seat. Getting up? How do you do it with all those stitches?
December 31, 2020
Yes. All hurt. Mainly it is he bruising. In recliner I am fine. Good cushions. Couldn't sit in a hard chair day 12. Much better now. Bruises on back of legs much improved by day 14.
Use a female urine thing that I use when I hike. So that was helpful. Pooping was a whole other issue. Pain pain pain. It was the bruises. Easier to Hoover over toilet to poop. Arm on counter to hold me. Pooping still not great but can sit without extreme pain. I think it is hard to go when you can't get comfortable
Oh I also had to raise toilet seat so there was less toilet touching my bruised legs. That was unreal lol
But time passes and this moment will too. My mantra the moment.

Wow, you are a super woman. I do appreciate your posts since not many of this type. Continue to give updates. Speedy healing, blessed new year to you!

Holy cow!! I didn't think about sitting on toilet. Ugh. I used the female urinal for my LBL. It was a great thing in the beginning. But, pooping. Yes. That would make things difficult. The swelling always gets me too. So uncomfortable. But, like you said it will PASS!!

Surgery done. Time to recover - Day 1
JourneyContinuedDecember 28, 2020
The actual surgery took longer than initially expected. Just under 5 hours. The last thing I remember is getting back into bed after Dr Hall marked me. I woke and I was HOME. Kinda freaky. My beloved said he backed into garage and when he helped me out I started walking backwards lol
To be honest not much pain day 1. Slept mostly
I shower tomorrow

Feel free to ask any questions. There are not a lot of thigh-lift reviews and I know how much I appreciated the reviews I was able to read. We are all different with different start points and different healing times but reading others reviews was always helpful to me as I hope mine is to others
