Home...

I'm home, I'm sore, medicated (wearing off) lost the function of one drain on the ride home but its okay I have 3 more... Super sore, super tiny even with the swelling. 

 

They took off 18 lbs of skin so I should be in the 160-ish marks but not gonna check till I'm not so swollen.  Will go to post op on Wednesday.

 

time to rest, been a long day!

You made it!
So happy for you!
Rest. Drink. Protein. Short walks as able to move the body.
Have a seat in shower and do it with someone nearby.
Enjoy marveling at your new flatter sleeker body!
Any concerns you call/email someone medical PS/nurse.
Update us as you can.

gonna try this link, it's a nekkid (sort of) before and after, my o.h. People I know you guys know what I mean when I say "not for the weak"

Amazing!! Good for you!!

Wow! How awesome! You look and sound great! I am a bit nervous about having the lbl surgery. The thought of the pain and drains scare me. The timing of mine will be by the end if March. My other ps surgeries and recoveries were easy. Thank you for posting your photos snd experience.

Yay for being home. Just a tip. Don't weigh. Just because they removed that much does not meal that it will ever reflect on your scale. Some of that was fluid and your body will replenish that right back in. Focus on the fact that you just said goodbye to skin.

Exactly why I don't want to weigh! I was told that after healing I could stand to gain a few lol just couldn't believe that part! He said my stomach was actually con caved under all the skin and there wasn't any laxity in my muscles to even stitch up!

Hopefully with you not needing the muscle repair your recovery is speedy! I'm on day 11 from my TT and my muscle repair is still super sore...The incision area doesn't bother me all to much.
Happy healing to you!

Incisions don't hurt at all only pain is gas and my body wants to cough but then hesitates like when you're in a meeting trying not to cough so I'm hurting from that

Take good care.  18 lbs of skin is HUGE!.  If the scale tempts you stay away.  I am a month out tomorrow and still am just below my surgery weight due to swelling.  My surgeon told me it would be about 3 months.

Even with the swelling I am still really pleased with my results.
