Stitches are out....

and one drain remains..We are driving off first thing in the morning.  Dr Sauceda removed my stitches and told me the drain had to remain until it was under 50ccs.  He asked me to record a testimonial and I must confess I'm not the best public speaker.  I usually have to write stuff out hence my video probably won't air...haha.   Anywho, I am very happy to be going home and I can't wait to see my final results.  There is still a flabby area in my midsection that I'm hoping is still swelling...if not I might have to come back for the midline incision tummy tuck ....lol...Dr Sauceda did exceed all my expectations and he truly cares about us as patients.  I would highly recommend him to anyone interested.....

congrats YaYa.  how are you going to have the last drain removed.  that's still a dilemma i have if i have to leave with drains.

Salina, congrats on the stitches! I, too, did the testimonial and am sure it won't air either..haha. I get sweaty, feel like puking and forget anything I have rehearsed in my head when I have to speak.. Good luck on your trip home. And I agree, Dr S is awesome!!!!

haha...I was sweating looking at the camera...he said I myself or my sister in law could remove the last drain.

That testimonial had me tongue-tied a couple of times, too. I remember saying "I came to see Dr. Monterrey"....I of course meant "I came to Monterrey to see Dr. Sauceda." I did it over again, but I felt like an ass.

Woot for no more surtures! Though, I'm sorry you have to go home with a drain. 

How is your breast pain? Has is stayed calm?

my breast pain is gone...I just had that one day where the pain was horrible....

Lucky you! I had it for several days...but also had some weird pulling in my lower abdomen that took (and still takes!) my breath away. I'm sure it all gets better with time. I'm trying to patiently wait.

ha ha ha.  I did the testimonial as well.  hmm I wonder how many he will have to record to get a good one.  I remember saying the hospital was....  different  and the food was..... interesting  lol.  but over all my time and care in Monterrey was exceptional.

I pulled my last drain out a few days ago.  I am still numb down the center of my tummy and it is still a lil jiggly and swollen.  but unlike you, yaya, I WON'T be going back for a centerline cut.  nope, no more surgery for this girl for a very long time.  lol.  I don't need to look like a bikini model.  I am very happy with my results so far and I am only 3 weeks out.  I can't wait for 3 months.  Heck, I don't even own a bikini  lol  (yet).

glad you are heading home and doing well. 

Sending hugs to Suzie and Damon as well.  :)

Hi, sweetie! I hope you are doing well. We're home and I'm in swell hell, as they say. lol

Hi Suzie  :)

I am doing good except for a spot at the bottom of each of my lollipop incisions that is not healing.  Other than that I have had very little swelling  *touches wood*...  I can't wait to go back to work next tuesday.  I'm bored silly.  lol. 

Hope your trip home was ok.  I was thinking about you going thru those Mexican airports.  lol. 

Was absolutely wonderful meeting you and your DH.
