hi guys, just wanted to let u know everything its fine, n thanks for ur advice.

had my brachio friday 5th, n i came home next day so. now im 3 days out of surgery.

everything went just beautifully, not nervious at all when i got o the hospital. maybe it help tht my cousin n my uncle did my surgery. i woke up from the anestesia like i was awaking from a nap, no pain at all, i thought i will be in so much pain, cuz i had a extended brachioplasty. (scar is placed 2 inch from the elbow to the end of my boobs) the scar is looking pretty good i love it so far. the surgeron told me they took off way more than they thought. n that maybe gonna need latter a revision cuz there wee so much skin, and to make the scar more beautiful, so maybe when i have my TT gonna get the scar fixed although i have to say i love my scar so far.
now im started to get all bruise but i dont mind i like purple lol.

ohhh yeah, no drains, no stiches to be removed (thanks god)n feeling great, i have to be very carful to not move to much cuz i honestly feel like i dint even had surgery im amazed i just can grap heavy stuff n myarms get tired pretty quicly but i dont supposed to be moving.

i'll post some pictures when i can. n keep you posted.

thanks again
hugs

Im terrified about the TT. n you have nothing to be scared about the brachio. honestly i dosent hurt at all, not even a lil. it was like they did nothing to my arms. now 3 days aout its starting to swallon n a lil disconfort but it last like maybe for 3-5 mint n then its gone, honestly i would do it all over again without thinking about it.

Mariana-- so glad your surgery went well. I felt like you did about my arms (so surprised that it wasn't too painful). Don't worry too much about the TT----it is so worth it. Personally I didn't think recovery was that bad from it either. Granted with the muscle tightening I was sore but I was not in constant pain.

Good luck and post some pictures girl!!!!!
