Lacowgirl72 210 Posted December 2, 2015 Why reduce Fluid intake?? I had my Tummy Tuck and breast lift 8months post VSG. I kept taking my regular Vitamins as well added Bromelain, and Vitamin C. My surgeon actually felt I healed quicker then other patients. She did have me reduce Fluid intake for the first 2 weeks post surgery. I am very pleased with my results.

jess9395 5,449 Posted December 3, 2015 I did bromelain, arnica and turmeric for healing and inflammation. I think it helped! Got them all at Vitamin Shoppe.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aprilhoffman78 78 Posted December 9, 2015 Had my pre op visit today the dr. Was adamant I get the lift now.. He hadn't seen me since the first visit in September and I've lost more weight in the boobs of course, I decided on silicone high profile 500 cc, so nervous about the lift and scars, since I already have so many with the sleeve and gall bladder taken out.. Ugh have to make up my mind by tomorrow ???????????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lacowgirl72 210 Posted December 11, 2015 Went for post op check today. Things look good. Dr left drains in. He said when I only get 30ml out of them per day he will take them out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lacowgirl72 210 Posted December 24, 2015 Just a update. Got drains out from 360 lower body life. Then had boob lift yesterday. Never realized how much reaching for stuff pulls on your boobs. Ouch! Lol. Everything looks great. Soooooo happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
