Cinderella Lives

Hey there I am home and only on here for a very minutes. Jon brought me homey yesterday morning and I have pretty muck been in bed and heavily drugged...lol Talk about a seim truck hitting you~ Sheesh! I hurt in places I didn't know I had! lol I am hoping to get a shower sometime today but trust me that will be a whole days project. I can't get in and out of bed or in or out of a chair by myself ye! A total baby. My breasts and sides a so sore and the muscle tightening must have bee nreally good cause I feel like I have run a million miles and then did 2 million sit ups. You can't beleive how long my legs got! It is incredible! I keep looking for the tummy that has always been my lap and it is totally gone. I think Dr. Bergman is awesome!! I would do her again in a heartbeat. I am not so cracked on the facility.....if any of you are planning on going there I will be happy to discuss it with you. I couldn't get access to a phone or even a bottle of water. They really did no discharge instructions....thank God that Doc came in aand is so complete with her instructions. I was the only only patient there overnight and they had 2 nurses/aides to help me.  Only had juices and sprite to offer. Lucily I took some fruit 2 o and am sugar tollerant so I got some apple juice yesterday. I honestly don't feel much like eating and have to force myself to eat....not pleasant. The narcotics make me kinda sick so the less I eat the better. I got up for a short while last night and sat in my recliner and it was sooooo good. Painful but good! :o)  It hurts to do much of anything but....I can do more today and more easily so that is a good sign. Jon bought me bags of frozen peas and I covered my body in them yesterday as the Dr. said to help with the muscle swelling. She did alot of lipo on my sides and that is really sore. My breast where the implants are positioned below the muscle are very tender and sore. I saw my tummy and new belly button and they looked good yestersay. My breast are wonderful :o) I can't believe she got them to look so good. High, full and perky. A full C/D.It will be days for the soreness to go away and months for the body swelling but overall even in all this pain I am happy I did this. My loratab is kicking in so I am going to shufle to the living room and snuggle in my recliner for awhile.  I will get back to you all later ! Hugs! Marianne

Marianne, So glad to hear you're home and things went well.  It's good for us considering PS to hear of your experience.  Hope you feel better as days go by.  Get lots of rest. Floyd

Good mornin! Glad you are home and all went well.. Get lots of rest and know you are thought of!

So glad to hear you are home and doing well other than the pain.  I have been thinking and praying for you.

Marianne, It's nice to know that the 'hit like a Mac truck' feeling eases up within a few days. I hope you continue to feel better with each day. Congrats! Sherri

SO GLAD YOU ARE HOME AND STARTING TO FEEL SOME WHAT BETTER. JUST THINK IN ANOTHER WEEK YOU WILL FEEL EVEN BETTER. I SORTA REMEMBER THE " MAC TRUCK " THAT HIT ME AFTER WLS YOU THINK THIS ONE IS A BIGGER TRUCK...LOL SMILE YOU ARE WONDERFUL VICKI

Marianne I'm so glad that you're home and all went well and I can't wait to see the new and improved you!!!

Hope you get better with every passing day!

soooo happy you are home and feeling well enough to post to us...here's hoping all that tenderness goes away sooner than later ;) hugs, Jen

Marianne, I'm so glad you are home and have found a comfortable nest in the recliner.   I'm thinking I should borrow/rent/buy one for my recuperation.  The only ones we have are upstairs and I don't think I'll be climbing the stairs for a while.  I'll be right behind you (scheduled for the 7th).   We should get together for a "play date" and compare our results.   Take good care of yourself.  Hope your appetite is back soon.  But not so soon that you are tempted to eat those frozen peas.

Blessings,

Marianne, I'm so stinkin jealous I can hardly stand it.  Sorry your so sore, but it will be so worth it.  I had mine planned for June 20th but cancelled as I didn't feel I could add any more stress to my family right now.  My dad has been dx with liver cancer, and is being worked up for a liver/ kidney tx.  I definately need to take a backseat and be there for him and my mom.  Hopefully I can do this by next fall.  I know it will happen just not when.  Let me know where you had the procedure, as I will have to spend the night also.  Mine would have been at Carmel Ambulatory Surgical Center.  Annette Good luck to you too. Thanks, Sarah
