Arm Lift surgery over
Hello everyone, happy to report my arm lift is over and recovering well at home. Surgery was Tuesday morning at 11:00 a.m. and I was in and out and back home at 3:30 pm enjoying a nice coffee. Had my pain prescription filled at the drugstore and I think I could have skipped getting it as I took only 4 pills and have been taking Advil now and again as needed. I will see my surgeon tomorrow morning for my first post-op visit. Not sure what takes place tomorrow, but sure will be nice if he removes bandages and I am able to come home and shower.
I took some before pics and also took some more pics when I got home to show the type of garment they put on my arms. I'll post them later. The garment I am wearing since surgery reminds me of a shrug...soft stocking material that wraps around my back over my shoulders and my arms were put into two snug sleeves. Not sure if this is what I will wear after tomorrow or something else will be used.
I am thrilled that all has gone so well thus far.
Take care...Linda
Hi Linda: Congrats on the success of your surgery. I am having my arm lift on Dec 11th and for some reason was/am kinda worried. Mostly about the scar. Reading your post really is encouraging and I look forward to hearing about your journey. I am so glad that all went well and that you found it to be somewhat easy. Look forward to seeing your before and after pics. I am sure that you are happy to be on the "other side."
