I am a nurse practitioner, so either my business partner will take them out or i will pull them myself as well as all of the sutures. I would have no problem letting my husband pull the drains.
if you want to see my before and after pic just pm me and i will show it to you.

I have already traveled home, 10 days post op with no problems. Got home last night, glad to be home. Still have 4 drains. But feel great.

I am Michelle's neighbor in the hotel and the woman she is talking about and I rock this anchor scar!!!!! because i look amazing. I had:
Lower body lift with anchor cut/Breast lift-reduction without augmentation/Long thigh lift (incision from crotch to knees)/brachioplasty (incision from armpit to elbows)
I had drains everywhere. I did not need Lipo, and the girls that got lipo seem to hurt much worse than I do. I have done great, almost too great, i have to make myself slow down so i will continue to heal well. in the clinic I got one dose of toradol. I have had no narcotic pain meds since the ones administered in the OR. I have used tylenol and ibuprofen to manage the pain and have done well. i have had sleepless nights here because i just cant get comfortable, but that is to be expected. I am just not comfortable, not in pain. I am going home tomorrow and not worried at all. I would do it all over again in a heart beat. And you can ask Michelle, i look and feel fabulous. And she better rest tomorrow after I am gone.
Today before i am leaving tomorrow, Dr S sat on the edge of the bed in my room and looked at my pics of myself with me and listened to my story. And i even tried on my Monterrey souvenir dress for him. He does a great job. the twilight sedation is wonderful, because I ALWAYS get sick with general.
Having surgery is always going to have its pain price. I am sure that everyone here with us over the last few weeks will tell you that our price was worth it and the pain was managable.

hey neighbor, nice shirt!!!!!! Michelle is doing great and we are all doing great in Mexico. Pain of incisions not at all as bad as you would expect. i did not have Lipo but Michelle here did, and the girls that had lipo look like they are hurting more than those of us who did not. you go girl, changing by the hour. enjoyed our Monterrey time today. I will miss you when i go home tomorrow!!!

I used Dr Frenzel, he and his staff were great. He is also board certified in plastics. I had a great experience. He has offices in Arlinton and Dallas. My cash price was $10,995.

Jessica9190, I used Dr Frenzel in Dallas, he is bariatric verified and a plastic surgeon. The experience has been great!

I used Dr Frenzel, and cant say enough positive about the entire experience. He is board certified in bariatrics and plastics. He uses an OnQ ball post op, so there is no real post op pain.
