Less than one week after my TT & Brachio

It is less than one week since my TT and Brachioplasty--and I am doing fairly well considering the surgery I just had.   My husband and I are at my mom's house until my one week followup appt just so I would have someone around at all hours while they work.  Overall my pain has been manageable with the meds and I am getting in lots of rest.

I have a lot more range of motion in my arms than I expected,  My arms do seem to start swelling when they aren't propped up.   My tummy seemed so flat the first two days post-op, the swelling is starting to set in there too.   I am wearing my compression garments and telling myself it will get better :) 

I just wanted to update my OH family--you all have been so great.   I will pay it forward with pre/post pictures once I am back home and can crop my face out of them :)

I'm glad you are doing well. The swelling is a pain but it will eventually subside and you'll see that it'll all be worth it.
