Back in the land of the living

(((Hugs)))

The first cupla days are definitely the worst. I had that headache!! It sucked in a huge way cuz nothing touched it. I was able to get into the shower the first day and it really helped. The second day, I hated that bed so much I was lying on the little sofa in the room ((at the clinic). On the third day, the headache was gone, IV's out and I went to the hotel.

I did not have much swelling in the face or anywhere. And I still dont 4 weeks later. Maybe I am lucky, maybe I will get socked later, I dont know. BUT..everyday you get a little better, closer to ditching those drains and LIBERATION!!

You cant have surgery of any kind without some crappy feelings. And they vary so much from one person to another.

I just know you will love your end result. YOu were a beauty going in and will be a knockout when healed. I cant wait to see you once the swelling is under control. You look good so far! Especially your girlies...NICE! (mine were bigger than I had wanted too, but I actually like them and they are proportionate.)


Happy healing, Tammy. Hope to see more of you as you come along!

Soapy

Mine are actually a little bigger than I expected too but I am hoping some of its the swelling :-). I sent my hubby the pics and he is a HAPPY CAMPER! He said to tell Dr S to go on the larger side if there was a toss up...LOL.

Hi Tammy, Welcome back to the land of the living. I also had the same thing with the face and hands swelling, also had a bad case of diarreha which was just awful with having that suit on and iv in hand. I was a horrible mess and was wondering what the heck I had done to myself. Its called buyers remorse LOL. You will be fine within the week. I felt so much better when I showered and went to the hotel. I had my husband helping me and I could not have done it without him, I have no idea how these other ladies managed on their own. He did everything for me, helped me shower, dressings and everything. He was a god send. I am glad you have your Mom with you. Good luck and hang in there, Carole

Carole, it feels so much better knowing it gets better. I am actually here by myself. I agree, I wish my Hubby was here though. When I had my VSG he helped out so much from the little things to just being able to vent..LOL. Now I vent via text message and over the phone. It is hard right now...I am not going to lie..but I am sure it will get easier as they all say :-)

Did you have a thigh lift? If so, how is it feeling? Where are the incisions? Can you see them yet?? I hope you are feeling better...I think you look great so far!
