Thanks for being open and sharing your experience. You would think that PS can be a walk in the park by some of the posts you read. I agree with the OP that people may not write abou their bad experiences due to it being a sign of weakness. I think the worst part for me was not feeling like my normal self for so long. I sometimes had my own pity party because I was tired of not feeling like my old self and doing the things I normally did on a daily basis. I didn't have as much done as you did at one time so I can't imagine how that felt. I only had 2 drains to deal with for about a week after my LBL and none with my arm lift and inner thigh lift so 8 would have driven me crazy!

I'm glad to hear you are doing better!  I bet you look great!

I was not prepared for the emotional turmoil I went through after my TT.  I had a pretty emotional time heading up to it too.  Once the drains were removed, that helped a LOT.  I know its a few days after you posted this, but someone has posted some articles about PS and the emotional issues.  I've bookmarked them and will read them in a bit. 

I wrote in my blog about it a bit - just so I don't forget what it was like. 

I would still like to have more plastics done, but now know what may happen emotionally, and hopefully will be better prepared for it the 2nd time around.
