PICTURES!
Thank you! I do like that my arms are a normal size. My right hand swelled up really bad on day one but morning of day two it was back to normal and has stayed that way since. I am definitely looking forward to getting the drains out just for cosmetic reasons, they don't seem to be bothering me just yet. We will see Friday!
Oh my goodness- you look fabulous! I am so happy for you and so optimistic about my own outcome. We share a very similar "before" shape and I am hopeful that my result will be as good as yours. Congratulations and thank you so much for being gracious enough to share such a personal part of your journey.
I'm so glad I could help give you some more optimism! I had the hardest time trying to find similar body shape to mine to get an idea of what I woul look like. I was worried that the roll over my BB wouldn't flatten out and of course lots of other things. Thank you very much, I'm ecstatic about my results and mom and I are already looking forward to a shopping trip! Good luck with ur journey and can't wait to see your pics as well!
That "top" part is what's worrying me, too. I know the lower portion of my tummy will be removed, but I really want that upper roll gone! I am also having my inner thighs done (they are a mess) and am having a buttock augmentation. I have a pretty flat bum to begin with, and my surgeon is concerned that the lower body lift will flatten it even more. Apparently he is going to transfer tissue from my hip and tummy into the rear. :)
If you don't mind my asking, how has the recovery been with regard to your thighs. That has been my biggest concern. I've been told that it's difficult to keep the incision from opening up and that the area is more prone to infection. Did you have a groin incision or did yours go down the leg, as mine will? I was hoping to just have the groin incision, but the surgeon said i have far too much lose tissue. I guess if i have to choose between extra skin and a scar, I'll take the scar. I just need to come up with a good story (shark attack?).
Mine is just in the groin. So far I have been keeping it padded and protected in the garment. I still have staples and big stitches in it, but it has not opened and mom says it looks pretty good. She's been paying good attention to it for me. I have just been being very careful and calculated with my movements. I'll keep you updated if anything goes wrong with it.
