Whats up with me???
This is a dup post. I also posted on the PS board but I wanted to let my OKIE friends what I've been up to!
I had my surgery on Sept 3. Full TT, Muscle Repair, Breast Lift, Breast Aug, Arm Lift and Lipo. 10-12 lbs removed. I have a home daycare some I am still not ready to go back to work. Saturday I started feeling much better and I have only gotten better since then. I still have to keep my arms wrapped and I cannot wear deodorant either. SHUUUWEE! LOL! I have open sores in my arm pits. They don't hurt unless they get stretched too far. I feel like I'm doing really well!
I go for my one month apt Thursday. I'm down 5 lbs today. Tomorrow is my actual weigh in day so we will see tomorrow what happens!
So, my advice to anyone looking forward to this surgery is to be prepared, because its not an easy time. But it will be so worth it once you are feeling back to your old self. I am getting in and out of bed much easier. I went shopping and I have bought a couple of cute halter tops for next year. I am so excited to wear them! I have my flat little tummy with my killer belly button and my perky "girls". The scars on my arms look scary to me. I hope they heal better then they look right now. But HEY my arms will be normal size once I can get past the swelling.
Its all worth it!!! Good luck to pre-ops and happy healing surgery buddies!

Patti,
Hey woman! I had it all done at once for a few reasons. It was cheaper, and I could only take off of work once. I wouldn't have done it any different! (Today I say that, last week.....might have been another story!) Anyway, I'm glad its done and over. I'm still sore but Loving my new Belly Button! LOL! (Thats my fav part!)
I'll post pics soon. Promise!

Kim I was just getting ready to post to see if you would give us an update and then saw this. I am so glad to hear you are doing well and taking note of everything you are saying because I want what you had done. I will probably have to have the arms and boobs done in one surgery and the TT and thighs done together. I wish I could just have one surgery and be done with it but starting at 350 I have LOTS of work that needs to be done.
I can't wait to see pics in the new halter tops!! I can't even imagine not having bat wings. I bet you are super excited at the thought of being healed up and showing it off. Congratulations!
