Stitches removed today! No luck with the drain yet tho. A few more days until the drain is collecting less than 20cc over 24hrs, then it will come out. I had my first follow-up today and despite the incredible amount of swelling, I am so happy with the result! I cannot imagine what it will all look and feel like a month, 6 months, or a year from now. I also cannot wait to shower since that is a no no while the drain is still in. I was also surprised to find out that 4.7L was removed from my abdomen and flanks and 1200cc were grafted into each butt cheek! Yikes!!!
I have the biggest smile ever and I want to nurse my swelling down. Can't believe I'm going into summer with a booty!
This is a complete side note but while my body is adjusting to all the fluid shift, boy or boy do I pee a lot! ????

Wow your stomach was so slim before!! How did they get 4.7L from there? I’m fascinated... where else did they Lipo you? My stomach is not an option so I can only do my flanks, back and inner thighs :(

Day 3
Moving around with gradual ease. Was able to walk my kids to school, do some very light housework and more or less back to work. Rather than sitting, I spent most of my day on my feet. I would say I'm sore overall with very manageable pain at this point. Bruising and swelling still quite significant. I perform a very gentle lymphatic massage on myself 4-5 times today and it was very tolerable. I also managed to get a quick snap of one of my incisions and I can tell it will heal beautifully!

Did they teach you how to perform the massage yourself? Or did you research it? I see some people paying up to 700 for massages, don't know if it's worth it.
With Dr. Jugenburg, you stay overnight so in the morning a nurse will check on you. She absolutely will teach you how to perform the massages. I go to a RMT twice a week because the massages need to be aggressive and I find it more tolerable if someone else did it. It is awkward and hurts more when I do it myself and I personally know how to perform lymphatic massages. Having said that, everyone is different so if you can tolerate it or have a high pain tolerance then you can do them all on your own. Massages need to be performed daily so t makes sense to be proficient in self massage. I hope this helps :)
it's worth it because you will need the back massaged. Also some doctors don't use drains and it's important that someone with experience drains you. I feel the money is worth it if only to prevent fibrosis.
