Lakeland,Fl TT with Hip Lipo on 8/5/11 OMG I'm So Excited!

OK I'm back 11days PO sorry it's been awhile. The surgery went well hated the groggy feeling coming out of it but i have never had IV to knock me out it was always the mask type. Anyway after I was finally awake enough i felt pretty good stayed overnight. Pain has been not too bad. Out of drugs now so on the old tylenol but only had 2 tabs 1 time yesterday.been sleeping in the recliner so not too bad. i have tried to do a few things in the last two days and funny while i sit i feel fine but SWEET JESUS when i get up and try anything i am worn out in about 2 min. Oh and the drain removal was at day 5 po one was not so bad but the other...well...lets just say i screamed "HOLY MOTHER OF GOD" when he litterally snatched it out. i swear i think it had grown to the side of my skin it hurt for about 2 hours. I have two nice holes where they were. still have the white strips so cant really see scar i keep hoping they will come off in the shower. OH and back pain......yeah lots of if...mostly when trying to stand too long and in the shower. i took pics and although i am happy that the flab of fat is gone i'm still not sure how the final result is going to look like you guys can form your own opinion. i still have swelling. have not tried my own clothes just mumus too scared of the disappointment if they dont fit from swelling. oh i also had hip lipo and the brusing is almost all gone i think the bromilin and arnica the dr gave me worked alot.i know i'm rambling but i'm trying to give you all the update details. i go back for follow up on the 23rd hopefully i can see the scar then

OK so my big day is tomorrow. I'm sooooo excited and trying not to think of things that might freak me out. I am more worried that maybe he won't be able to do much for me and i don't want to be disappointed but anything will be an improvement. Thanks to all of your support. I will post after pics as so I can. Best wishes to all of you guys coming up. Got to cut this short lots to do. TTYL!!! Cyndie
