 Contrats! My Belt lipectomy with abdominoplasty is scheduled for the 29th...so I'll be mrs. frankenstein for halloween (still in the hospital as I'm scheduled for a 3-4 day stay)  

It's good to see you're moving around, I'm sure I'll go stir crazy too, at least I live in the country where taking a short walk for fresh air is possible without worrying about who will see me all hardwared up lol.

Hope your recovery continues as well as it is so far!

Rob, I am so sorry for the swelling. As oon as it goes down, you'll feel great.

It took me 7 days last week to drop 10 of the pounds I put on having mall revision to my arms and legs. I still have not her six to get back to 18 days ago when I arrived in Mexico. You will shed them quickly because you're doing great with the fluids.

So glad you pooped, it took me a week after my first plastics in Decmber and i wanted to cry.

Keep up the good healing. It sounds like your balls albe weigh those here pounds!

Thanks for the candid descriptions. Not kidding.

I talked to the RN from my bariatric center about her boobs and tummy work and she brought up amazing points that no one else ever brought up.

She said her pubis was pulled up some and so she was peeing out the toilet at first because she didn't know to tilt her hips at first. Hilarious. It was good to know.

LOL! I'm so glad someone else has this problem. I have been doing this off and on for months now and I've yet to have plastics. My weight loss in my butt causes me to mount the toilet differently, I think--puts me at a different angle. Years of peeing a certain way is a hard habit to break!

Glad you are doing well. Never heard about the ball swelling. I know women can get a "Ken doll" where their mons swell up like a Ken doll. I didn't have that this time, thank goodness. And I thought I would die the ONE time I sneezed. I did whatever I could after that to not do it again. I am finally to the point where I say "I would do it again" at first I was like "why or why did I do this" LOL(6 weeks tomorrow) Each day gets better and you will look much different before you know it. Hope the swelling goes down, soon. Continued good luck.
