Angelnurse's Lower Body Lift

[angelnurse 1]

Went to the doctor's today and had the last drain removed. Hooray! It feels so good to have that out, now if I could just get this sweeling to go down, I'd be a happy camper. Got my pre-op pics and some 3-week pics today, but don't know how to post them. If someone could PM me and walk me through the process, I could probably post them. Help!

Alynne: I was wondering how you were doing. Are you back to work soon? How uncomfortable are you? Still wearing the compression garments? Can't wait to see the pics, wish I could help you with that.

Karey-I get to wear the compression garment for minimum of 6 weeks 24/7 then 2 more weeks during the day. I will probably wear them longer to help with the swelling and the scarring. Sorry that u couldn't help me with the pics either. I'm very swollen today as I overdid it. After I went to the docs, I had to do some grocery shopping and I was up too long. I'm supposed to go back to work on the 1st of Feb, but I may take off another week or two if I need to. How r things going with your PS plans? Hope everything is falling into place for u.

You must feel so much better now that you have got those drains out, just make sure that you dont push yourself too much!!

Nina,

Thanks for the help, I tried to upload the pics but they failed, so I don't know if it's something with my computer or what?

I had a problem and DH had to re-size the pictures for me apparently they were too big. Does that help at all?

[angelnurse 1]

The after pics are only 3 weeks out, so I have a lot of swelling and the final results will be much better. Sorry that the pics are so big, hopefully no one gets grossed-out. It may not look like it but I'm into a size 10 jeans even with all the swelling, so hoping for at least an 8 when the swelling goes down.

Alynne: You're looking fantastic! Looks like the incision is healing well. How are you feeling now? Jazzed about the jean size I hope! I guess that swellilng is a real bear! How long do they say the swelling will last? Are you wearing your compression garment etc? What is your favorite thing about this procedure and your least favorite thing?

Karey-I'm feeling better, thanks! The swelling is a tricky thing, everyone is so different and the doc didn't know when it would be down, but the final results are usually at 6 months to a year. I wear the compression garments 24/7 for 6 weeks then 2 weeks during the day and off at night. I'll probably wear them as long as I can stand them, as it'll help with the swellling as well as the scarring. I think the worse thing has been the swelling and the next was the 2 drains. The best is yet to come with the final results. Keep me posted on your PS journey.

Paulax-Thanks! I'm trying to take it easy, but am so bored. Looking forward to going back to work on the 1st, just hope I'm ready then.
