10 days post-op LBL, MTL and Lipo
Thank you so much! :)
The top part of my thigh incision is healing really well - a bit puckered on the ends, but that's ok since I'm only 9 days out. lol The part that leads around to the crease of my butt is ok too, so far. It's definitely feels funny when I walk - like I'm wearing underwear and the leg are too small so the elastic is squeezing (that's the best i can describe it). It's not bad, just odd feeling. lol What kind of problems have you had?

Thanks!
I'm sooo looking forward to having at least one of these drains yanked tomorrow. It's really not that fun having them hanging right there. lol I'm thinking drains hanging anywhere just plain ol' sucks - even if they are necessary. haha

You look and sound like you are doing great. I was 58 when I had my WLS and 59 for plastics. Sure wish I hadn't spent my life being fat, enjoy getting this all done so young!! What a great 'rest of your life' you have to look forward to. Put up with those drains, they are a necessity!! Best Wishes!!

I'm planning on doing it up right! hehe My boyfriend's bday is 2 days after mine. I'm going to get my hair done, double pedicure (me and the bf), shopping for a new dress - and then we are heading to the Melting Pot (a really nice fondue restaurant) for dinner with a bunch of friends to celebrate my 30th and his 33rd birthdays. It's going to be awesome!!!

I had a 2 wk f/u today. Had 1 drain removed - yay! The other is still putting out quite a bit but starting to slow down...Ps said it should come out sometime next week. I'm healing up well, belly button stitches removed today. Still have stitches on the inner side of my medial thigh lift which will be removed next week.
I tire out fast (to be expected with major surgery), but otherwise feel really good. Got a little bit more sleep last night, which I'm thankful for!!
