Recap of LBL

Request sent. Good luck next week !!

Hi Christine,  I am having my lbl on the 29th.  Could you please send me your pass word so I can check out your pics?  Thanks, Mary

Thanks for the update!  I'm doing mine next December.  Brachioplasty and breastlift/aug in May.

I would love to see your pics and please keep us updated on your progress!

Wishing you all the best for your upcoming surgery!  Request sent with the PW

 Christine, you look great!  So much difference in the before & after photos!  Thank you again for sharing, and good luck with the swelling.  It is such a big help to see others go through this so we know what to expect!

Thank you so much Kim!  I'm glad you find the pics helpful :)

I am looking into a lbl since I think more areas can be "nipped" and "smoothed" out. Can you please give me your pw as well? I just not sure if I am up to all the work that does get done. But a straight tummy tuck probably won't be enough and I don't want to go back for rework.

Thanks, Dot

Hey Dot,
 Request sent with the PW.  If it is any consolation I had little to no discomfort with the posterior portion of my LBL.; my discomfort was all in the front- only thing is that it was hard to maintain a comfortable position for long periods for time. 

Thanks for the recap. I hope that you are feeling better soon and that the selling goes down. I am debating the lbl so this helps I sent a friend request also.

I had my LBL 9 weeks ago.  I'm still swelling up.  I've been out of my compression garment a day here and there.  Then back into my garments.  I can swell 2-4", it does go back down with the garment on.  I wore a spandex garment the other night and that helped.

My pain was minimal, as the epidural lasts almost 30 hrs, and I was getting pain and antibiotics via IV.  The drains weren't painful while in and just alittle squirrelly coming out.  No pain though.  I've taken very few perocets since I came home.  Only took 4-6 between week 1 & 2 and 3 for the trip home which was 13 hrs.  I'd also had a BL, arms and upper thighs done at the same time.  All that was less painful than my DS 3 yrs ago. 

I do have pics on my profile, but more in the photos area on Dr Sauceda's board.  You need to be a friend and have the password to see my pics.
