Background information:
100pd weight loss from a duodenal switch. I will be getting a much need breast lift, tummy tuck and lipo!
Dr. Farris and his team are unmatched. From my first contact through text/email with Janie I knew this would be a good team to work with. I made sure to see a few doctors and did tons of research befor deciding on Dr. Farris and his team. My original surgery date was in June but due to an illness I had to push it back to August. Janie was very responsive and helpful during my illness and recovery period rescheduling was not stressful. I honestly feel like Dr. Farris and team care because they couldve just let me do the surgery before my numbers were back to normal. At this point I am just counting down the days! 14 TO GO! So ready! Will update my progress along the way. I've found lots of helpful tips on here so I want to help others in my shoes!

Day 2 Postop
SunShine061123August 18, 2023
I'm 2 days postop. Below is what the last 2 days have been like....
Surgery day: Dr. Farris and his WHOLE team are amazing! He truly cares and takes changing people's lifes serious. Waking up I had minimal pain and no drains! The doc give my S.O. good instructions for my immediate aftercare. Which was was drinking fluids, managing pain, getting up and no solid foods. Honestly the first day wasn't that bad pain wise. Note, I suggest taking a suv/truck over a sedan(just make sure it's not too high up) The suv was easy to get in and out of once home.
1st day Postop: I slept in a recliner having only to get up to use the restroom (downside of drinking lots of fluid). The pain in the morning was around a 5 so I only took Tylenol. My breast did start swelling that morning which just seem more of discomfort than pain. Went for a postop appointment at noon, which was fairly quick. Dr. Farris said things look to be healing good, cleared me to shower late the next day. He also answered additional questions we had. From the extra activity my pain level did increase to a 7. Note, things I've needed help with so far, sitting backdown in reclinder (its a lift chair so no help needed getting out), opening pill bottles, and food and drinks. Lastly, coughing and laughing are a b*tch! Lol
Day 2 post op: My back hurts (as many people mentioned), still no bowel movement (I usually go at the sametime every morning) taking Milax and Stool Softer. Pain seems pretty manageable. I can tell that the swelling is starting in my TT area so that is adding to the discomfort. But I'm getting around fine. Worse part is getting back into my chair and in a comfy position. I kept my activity somewhat light beacaue I wanted to have enough enegry for the shower. These pictures are from today before my shower.
Note, it's been difficult trying to keep the binder from riding up.
