4 Week Post-Op Update + new Pics

Hey all, I can't believe its been 4 weeks since I got my new body by Dr Sauceda. It is amazing how much better and somewhat normal I feel each week. I am healing really good with exception to a pencil eraser sized area on my right breast that has very fragile skin and a little open. It was actually pretty closed up but my PCP ran her gloved finger over it multiple times when I asked her to look at it...humm. It opened back up that night..thanks to her. I also had her check what I thought was a seroma above my TT scar. She said there was fluid in there but not enough to aspirate it. It would reabsorb over time. I was cleared to walk on the treadmill at 2 weeks out when I returned home so hubby and I have been going most days. I have worked my way up to 45 minutes but still going at a snails pace (2.1-2.3mph). I get the workout craving fix I need without overdoing it. Santa brought my DH a 24Fitness a membership and he has lost 18 thus far! Yeah DaHusband :-). Most all my swelling has gone down except the seroma swelling and my lower back and maybe a few little areas. The back area is just as bad as when I came home.  I love my new girlies...can't wait to wear some cute Victoria Secret demi bras. Could never really do that since I lost weight...was just crepey skin sitting in the bottom of a bra cup until now. I actaully went in and got sized at VS and they say I am a 32 DD. I was a 34B prior to my surgery. Gotta love it! I bought some really cute DKNY skinny jeans from Ross yesterday and they fit really good but still a little tender on my hip bones. I actually got a little bootie now but as Dr S promised not J-Lo size..LOL. Well, I pasted a PG pic of me in a pair of VS panties I got in my stocking from Santa but have posted the ones in my bathing suit on my profile (After Plastics Album) for friends to view. Not much diff. since last ones I think...

Hi there. You look great! I am going to be going to Dr. Sauceda in early feb. Am getting a bit nervous. So am on here reading everyones stories for encouragement. May I ask, If we should run into a complication after we return home from mexico, where do we go for treatment? Our own doc here or back to him?

Thanks. I actually had a local PS lined up in case of issues but would have to pay 250 for each visit. I found out Kaiser would see me for any issues for my $20 copay. I have gone to my PCP for the few concerns I have had.

Tammy, you look fantastic and have a fabulous figure! I have been following your updates. Can you please add me as a friend? I am considering surgery with Dr. S and would love to see your results.

Thanks, Lynn

Thanks Lynn! I have added you as a friend.
