Surgery yesterday - body lift, thigh lift, arm lift, flankplasty, breast lift

Good for you!! And I need to get implants, too. Just did my measurements today and I have lost another inch in my breasts. Ugh. Cannot lose any more there...lol.

If he had been able to keep me a C then I probably would not get implants. But I don't want to be a B. My friend is going in next Wed with him, getting body lift, arms, and implants. She's going to be hot!

Thanks for posting an update and good to hear things went well!!  Have followed your posts and look forward to your amazing results in the next few months.  Good luck with your recovery!!

Thanks and thanks! I took all my measurements pre op and will compare at every few weeks intervals. I can tell you that many inches are gone already! I also am feeling much better today in my recovery!

I did it, Heidi!!! And I was calm going into surgery. Dr. Capella spent may hours talking with me and it made the vital difference. Even when he was marking up my body he explained how he would be cutting me and where the incisions would be. It was so interesting. 

I was in a lot of pain yesterday and last night. But today I feel like a whole new person. He took my bandages off, the nurse removed the cath, and the aid gave me a shower. I feel so good. I am  able to get in and out of bed by myself, too! And glad I am not menstruating any more. 

I've been getting glimpses of myself in the bathroom mirror and I am really liking what I am seeing. Everything is so nice and smooth. I keep running my hands over my body. It is like touching a young person. I cannot wait to see my body in a full length mirror. 

Glad to hear things are going well.  Don't make us wait 3 damn months for pics this time.......we wanna see how great you look already.  Not bloody bandage great but once those are gone.  I am so happy for you.

LOL, he took a pic of me on the OR table all cleaned up after my surgery. You can see how small my thighs and arms are. He also took pix of my markup. I will post all of those as soon as he emails them to me.

I know things are going better this time because your state of mind seems a million times better, I guess now that you are an old pro it's a lot easier.  I wish I could get everything done and turn back time, I think I look really old lately, I felt good this summer when I was tan but now I just look pale and old.  Ugghhhh.  So I have to live vicariously through you and your surgery.

I am missing my tan and look so much better with darker skin. My face is pale by comparison although I am dark compared to most of the pale faces in Indy. 

I am not feeling it today. I have felt ill most of the night but no temp above 100 so I must be ok. I may had e over done it with the hike to see fall foliage yestday. I swelled like crazy. Now I feel like I have a fever and weakness. I put cold compresseso n and it helps! I think a shower is in my future. I got an ADA room so there is a. Shower chair. But all I. All i am doing well. I used almost none oft he pain killers and threw out what was left before I got out of the care center. 

I just had to prove to myself that I could do this. I feel like taking a victory lap. Most of all, I cannot wait to see my results.
