6 days post op, plastics

Saw Dr. King today. He removed all the bandages & the left hip drain which is great because now I can sleep on my left side which is so much better than just my aching back. I lost 2 of the gained inches on my waist so the swelling is definately going down. My weight was 131. WOOHOO Lowest yet. Well we unveiled the boobs. Ahhhhh they are so cute. Perky as all hell and they look great. I am really anxious to see how they look when fully healed. Dr. King is so pleased with the way I am healing and how my body is taking form. My arms are absolutely incredible I am thrilled. The tummy/butt is still swollen but flat, again looking awesome. So far I am extremely pleased. When Bob gets home from work I am going to take a LONG warm shower. Can't wait. I go back again on Friday and hopefully maybe more drains will be removed. I am glad I choose a sergeon who uses stitches rather than staples. The incisions are thin and not to bad looking. I will try to take some pics tonight AFTER I shower LOL. Hugs to all Mary

Mary, That is so inspiring!! Hooray for you! Hooray for Dr. King! Keep healing well, Amy

Well Mary you sound very pleased with surgery.Thats great! They say "when you look good,you feel good" Just think how pleased you'll be when your totally healed. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!After your shower you can show Bob your new Boobs!!!! (I'm assuming Bob is your husban) Take care and I'll be looking for your pics. Darlene

Darlene, Yes, Bob is my husband LOL. He thought they looked great and he sat in the chair in the bathroom while I showered. I am glad he did as I managed to drop the soap twice haha. He said he is amazed at how great my body looks already after only 6 days. I am amazed at everything :> I feel so good :> Mary

Mary, Hun that is just great and I am so happy for you ~hugs~ Please share your before and after pics because I am looking into PS but not for a while yet and Albany is not that far to travel, since I was going to Long Island for my surgeon anyways. I wish you the best. ~Hugs~ Debra P

Mary, Glad to hear you are doing so well. Can hardly wait to see you at the next support group you can make. Carla said you had posted on this site, this is the first I have gotten a chance to get on line and see how your are doing. This is also the first time I have been on the NY State Message Board, I am usually in the October 2005 message board. I will remember to get your surgeons info in about a year when I am ready for plastics. Take care, hope to see you soon. Mary L

Mary, Thanks so much. I will be there next week. I would go tonight, but these drains are such a pain I thought I would wait til next week. Please give my love to everyone. Mary
