Just 1 day post op. Pain is minimal, but I am pretty sore, if that makes sense. I'm up and walking when necessary. I decided to go through Maria out of Houston to plan my trip to Tijuana Mexico. Sure has been here with me throughout my experience & been very helpful. I wouldn't change a thing about coming to Tijuana, everyone has treated me wonderful. The hospital is very nice and clean.

Yes, but they aren't pretty. I'm still pretty swollen

did you go to the Dr. for what you thought was an infection?

Yes, I developed a seroma that held lots of fluid. Dr. Lara drained the seroma & inserted a new drain & discovered that the incision irregularities were due to the seroma and the amount of fluid that I had retained. I am feeling much better overall. I had to fly back, but it was in no way the fault of the doctor or myself. Just a circumstance where my drain slipped out too soon and the fluid had nowhere to go. Dr. Lara got me in immediately & out without charge. I did have to fly back out, but it was a small price to pay for the way I'm beginning to look & feel. I went to the ER here in Houston and also visited another PS that ended up costing more than my plane ticket back to San Diego. I still have a drain, and still wearing compression garments, but it's all part of the healing process for everyone that has this kind of surgery. I will just wear mine a little longer due to the setback.

Just moved to the recovery house. I have received 2 massages and both times I have become very sweaty & dizzy almost to the point of passing out. I recover quickly from those spells by laying back down. I have been up walking for a good part of the day. 1 dizzy spell yesterday, the day of surgery, and one today. Other than that I feel OK.
