I had a circumfrential lift, anchor cut and brachioplasty. I did not know that he was doing the anchor but he said that was his plan all along. So after the markings we went in to the OR and I stood in front of 2 people why they hosed me down with another cleaner and on the table I went. With 10 people in the roomand 80's music playing in the backgroung the party was about to be started.

Pre op I had a lovonox shot.

5 hours later I was done.Slept most of night. My hospital night I.V drip was 2 bag of morphine along with antibiotic's I came home with antibiotics and and pain killers.
With the exception of some motion sickness on the car I feel good.

Walking hunched over because I feel like the casing of a sausage.but the arms feel good and I have 7 drains total. 5 in the stomach and one in each arm.

The arms are pain free.

I'm just chillin in my lift recliner with my laptop, coffee, water, crackers and protein drinks.. I feel AWESOME!!!

The arm drains are putting out close to nothing. I had a pinhole opening before I left the hospital and thry jjust stiched it up before I left. Not too much coming out of the other 5. Kinda crazy to look down and be able to see my Vagee!!

Ah yes...memories.

Nothing compares to that first glimpse of the privates.

I hadn't seen mine since I was about 10!

Glad you are feeling so good. Wow, 5 hours! Who is your surgeon?

Did you remember to start the Miralax/stool softeners routine with the pain killers? Keep up the good work, girl!
