home from arm lift

Had my arm lift yesterday, surgery took a little longer that planed but went well. can not wait to see the results   can take bandages off tomorrow and shower.. slept in bed with no problem. have like ace bandage from shoulder to finger tips, I  guess for swelling, have the usual two drains ( I hate them coming out stuff)  all in all doing well.. will keep you posted, and again thanks to all for sharing your experiences  it helps...Pat

Glad to hear all went well! It will be a great feeling tomorrow when you can get those bandages off and shower. Take care!

got the bandages off and doing well. still feel a little tight in a couple areas.  day by day

Pat, You will love wearing those sleeveless tops, when you are all healed up. Take care. Gail

thanks, sleeveless will be nice but just regular short sleeves will be great also.  such a difference...

Gald to hear you're doing well! Can I ask how much it cost? I have so many quesitons, I really don't even know what to ask! Was this your 1st after-surgery?

mine cost about $4100 that was for hospital, antisetec spelling) and everything.  It was done as outpatient.  Mine took about 4 hours.  This was my first after surgery.  I have had relatively no pain,  a little discomfort like tightness feeling a couple times..  I have two drains in that come out on Tuesday.  I  was to remove the bandage with in 24 hour and was able to shower.  From what I can tell the results are going to be good.  Maybe  a little swelling yet.  I am cut from my elbow to up and thru my arm pit a little ways.  I do not know what else you may want to know but if there is any thing else, let me know...Pat
