10 Day update - a little late

On Monday I had my 10 day follow up with my ps.  I had the last of my drains removed (in the mons area).  He removed the steri strips and replaced only the areas on my hips.  I no longer have to wear any special dressings - just the binder around my mid-section and compression wraps on my arms. 

Swelling in my arms is minimal and my arms still look amazing.  I still have swelling in my abdomen and I am looking forward to seeing my final shape.  I can now wear some of my regular workout clothes and just not the really baggy stuff (to accomodate the drains).  The difference in how the clothes fit over my belly is very different.  

Before surgery I got some size small panties ( the free panty deal from Victoria's Secret).  When I got home I tried them on and OH MY!  For the first time ever I didn't have to adjust my skin into the panties!

I also tried on a pair of PJs that my sisters bought me for recovery.  For as much as a difference me & DH see without the clothes, the way the clothes hang on me now is an even more dramatic difference.

I have a new album of pictures too.  If you want to see them, send me a friend request if you haven't already.

You look amazing and congrats on being able to get back in to some of your before clothes!

Thanks!  I'm waiting for the day when the discomfort is gone where I can wear some of my non-stretchy clothes.

I never thought ps could make me so completely happy with me.  It's like this was the last piece of the puzzle.

CONGRATS! you look great.

Hi Lisa - I only saw one picture but you're looking really smooth in your mid-section. I can't see the arms really well but they look tiny - you must be soo happy about that. I think I see your scar which drops down from the arms to take care of excess skin - does that feel weird? I imagine that the scar from your arm might rub against the scar on the rib cage area and feel weird?

The picture is fuzzy, so I'm not certain what I'm seeing, but there seems to be swelling or something on your leg? Is that related to the swelling from the surgery?

You must be so happy not to have to smoosh your panni into clothes anymore.

Thanks!  I'm very happy with everything.

Not sure why you can only see one picture though.

My legs weren't done yet (they will be in 2 weeks) so you're seeing the loose skin on my leg.

The only part of my underarms that bothered me is when I had stitches in, which those came out on Monday so now my underarms don't bother me at all.

Yes, I only can see one picture, but I see you've added two other sections in the photo's but they are both empty.

Now I understand what I'm seeing with your legs - LOL mine are bad too. You're lucky you're getting them done soon - I hope they look as good as your other results.

You need to accept the friend request I sent then you'll be able to see the pictures.

Lisa,

You look fabulous.  I can't believe you aren't swelling more from what I have heard from others.

What size and type of implant are you getting later this month?

You are doing great.  Nancy

I'm surprised I'm not swelling more too.  Although I'm waiting for waking up one morning the size of a derrigable.

I'm going with saline and a 375 cc fill.  Not sure what size that will be but I'm thinking it's going to be close to a very full C.
