Swimsuit time

WORTH IT$9,000
I still have some swelling but thought I would try on a swimsuit I had but could never wear. I think I would feel comfortable wearing this in public even with the swelling.

Statistic from surgery
8.38 lbs of skin removed during TT
1400 cc fat removed during lipo
400 cc fat transfered to each butt cheek
465 cc high profile smooth texture gel implants. (Local PS recommended 650cc. So glad Dr Q listened to what I wanted. I am very happy with my size. 650 would have been way too big)
Hope everyone is doing great.

Looking good! ! That size looks perfect on you! !
Hot mama!!!!
Ah shucks. Thanks
You look so happy and healthy! Glad your experience was everything you were hoping it would be. Merry Christmas!
Thank you Disney. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well.
Wow, you look fabulous!! When did you drain come out and was it hard?
Thanks Jenny. The drain came out at 2 weeks post. I was very easy. There was a suture that held out in place. Snip the suture and remove. Then open the drain plug used to empty. This is a very important step because when it is closed there is suction. Then slowly pull out the drain. It does not hurt but feels a little strange. With the drain plug closed it makes it a lot harder to pull out. Lol. If you have any questions let me know.
Oh fabulous, thank you Kim!
Thanks. More importantly Jamie likes the size. He was more concerned about them being too big. :)

A little over 3 weeks post op

I wanted to share a little update with everybody. About day 25 for the initial procedures and day 18 post lift. Everything seems to be healing right on schedule. I have started to sleep on my side for a few hours at a time which makes me very happy. But sleeping on my side means lots of pillows and blankets around to support me. I'm moving around well with very little pain from the incisions. The feeling is coming back in several areas around the liposuction sites. I have started to use Mederma PM on my scars. Massaging the scars seems to be helping to smooth them out. I do have swelling that comes and goes. Most notably after I have been working all day and not wearing my compression garment. So today I have my compression garment back on which is feeling more comfortable now that the majority of the swelling has decreased. I am still feeling very good about my decision to have the surgeries and can't wait for the final healing process to complete which I know will take a few more months. But this summer I will feel much more confident wearing my summer clothes and a bathing suit. Might even have to kick off the summer with a pool party at my house. I avoided that like the plague since moving into my house two years ago. My boyfriend says he can see a new confidence in me and how I carry myself and the smile on my face. The challenge I have now is he keeps on asking me if I am going leave him. I keep telling him that if I was going to leave him I would've left them along time ago. And that I now feel much better about myself and I want to go out and do more things together. I am very grateful that he is so supportive of me but wish he was a little bit more secure in his own self. I will have to keep on reassuring him and my words as well as actions by going out and having fun together. I hope everybody else is doing well and wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic 2015 New Year.

Let me know when that party is! Glad to see/ hear you are healing so well! I have been sleeping on.my side for a little over a week~ lots of flipping during the night though~but sleeping much better. I catch myself standing up taller and feeling more confident also. Amazing how wearing the same clothes but having them fit so differently can make such a difference in ones demeanor and attitude.
Will do Libra. :) I am also standing much taller now.
Just haf an unforseen experience. ..it is snowing here and I just had snowflakes land in my cleavage while walking to my truck. I giggled
You look great kimjo so happy for yoh!
Looking very nice, girl! I've rad a few reviews where boyfriends and husbands were concerned about being left behind by transformed significant others - ha ha ha. You'll rock your bikinis, so I say go for the pool party! Merry Christmas and a very happy new year to you too :)))))))
Hi Kimjo, glad you are doing well. You look awesome and glad you don't regret your decision. Thanks for the photos. Hugs and blessings and wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hot mama!!!
Your bum, bum looks very perky! Tummy looks terrific! So happy for you kimjo!!!
Thanks. As the swelling shifts and changes I can visualize the final results. So glad we have a few months before swim suit season starts. lol
I have lots of bruising too. No worries it clears up.
Hi friend :) Sounds like you are doing very well. I am with you on the sleeping thing as I am a tummy sleeper~ have a feeling that it will be a while before I can do that again :(
Hopefully one day I can sleep on my side. But if not I will get used to it. So worth having boonies.
Beautiful sculpture! Healing so well.
Thanks. I have been blessed with a speedy recovery so far. I know it can always change if I try to over do it so I will continue to rest and heal.
How much time are you taking off from work?
I am off through the end of the week. I work from my home office on my computer and phone but I can take breaks as needed.
Perfect set up for you then! Take care of yourself! Xoxoxo
