On Friday morning I had an extended abdomoplasty, mons lift and medial thigh lift with Dr Joseph Michaels at Sibley Hospital in Washington DC.  I have not taken any pain meds or valium since Saturday and i feel pretty good.  Not moving too fast but doing laps around the house every 90 minutes or so -- will try to venture out doors for a trek up the street later today.  I had been a little concerned that the pain would be mind blowing but, not so bad.

Removed a total of 15 pounds from the tummy/mons area and 1 pound from EACH thigh.  Looks pretty incredible -- even with the swelling!

Congrats. I hope the pain continues to stay at bay. It's great to hear you're doing so well so soon. Plus, what a bonus to lose 15 lbs. of skin!
