Lbl yesterday

Pain. I am alive! Surgeon took off 17 lbs of skin. All these tunes now. Foggy. Got a sneak peek. I have a little round swollen belly. So weird. Catheter out and walking in 1 hour. I go home this afternoon. Nauseated a little.

So happy for you!! Rest up and take your pain meds on schedule to keep the pain at bay. If you let it get out of hand, it is harder to control.

Welcome to the other side.  Remember to keep taking those pain meds on time and breath as deeply as you can!

Congratulations on the new body!!! Drink lots of water and take Colace or something to keep from getting constipated. Use a saline enema if you do get constipated. I struggle with this after my TT and it was awful. 

I hear ya Cinn, I had mine yesterday too.  I'm home now, and if I stay in my recliner, it is bareable.  But the second I try to get up, holy macaroni!!!!

My doc took off 13lbs.  Phew!

Hope you make it thru the night relatively comfortable!  

 

 

How you doing Robyn?

Hi Cinn!

I'm actually not doing too bad.  My inner thighs are the worse part, they are both numb and painful at the same time, which is the oddest feeling.  My blood pressure has been very low, which is causing some problems with dizziness (and I passed out once) but all in all, I expected it to be more painful than it has been.  My doc gave me a painball, I think that has helped a lot because I am only taking 1 Percocet about 3 times a day (my script allows for 2 every 4 hours).  

How about you?  How's the pain?  Are you getting more mobile? 

 

Hope all is well.  

 

What did you have done to your inner thighs? Mine were lipoed and it feels so weird when I'm walking and they rub against one another. Not painful or anything, just a very strange sensation.

Inner thigh lipo.  I get the weird feeling when walking too but they are so swollen they are now painful.  Pendulous is probably the best way to describe them, they are bigger than they were before the lipo right now.  I think the swolleness is causing us further numbness/stiffness too because I'm starting to feel it in my knees and calves a bit. 

 

That's the one area I'm not swollen in so I hope it stays that way. I've been keeping a roll pillow under my knees on the recliner and I think that's helping with it. I swear my hips are getting bigger by the minute though
