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

Your breasts will get about 30% smaller from the lift. I was a DD at my TT. Then I lost 25lbs and went to a D. After the BL I am a B. That is too small for me so I am doing my implant consult next week before I go home. I may not have done the implants if he could have left me a C. He suggested 450s when we were talking but I'll see what he says at the consult. I am leaning towards saline.

It is really nice to do the two stage lift and aug. Otherwise your results are unpredictable. In fact, the results are always bad over time the breast tissue falls off the implant. 

Congrats on securing that date! I think you will find the UBL to be a breeze. Relax. Everyone gets nervous. I freaked out before my surgery. You are in the best hands ever. Dr. Capella is the most amazing surgeon. I will PM you with my email address for the pix. 

It seems the reason that I was feeling light headed, headache, and just crummy was that my fluid level was low, and probably potassium, too. I have been taking a double dose of OTC diuretic to relieve the swelling and my PA told me that is exactly what I should NOT do. He told me to push the fluids and stop the diuretics. I feel fine now. I am an idiot! He may have just saved my life!

I feel so darn good one week post upper and lower body lift, thigh lift and monsplasty that I feel like exercising. I sure wish that I could work out. I am so freaking bored in this hotel room by myself! The best I can do is go for a walk.

Glad you feel so good, but don't over do it too much.  Sit and watch the judge shows and the time will go by quickly.

I've been writing... 

Emotional ups and downs are normal after surgery, this I know. So I thought that I would not encounter this, since I was prepared for it. Wrong. I began the morning crying about my arse and boobs and trunk. Then I lamented about how pretty I had looked before surgery and now I could not even stand up straight. 

I went to see my surgeon and PA to discuss my concerns. I was quite sure they would be able to explain everything and address my concerns. And they did. Still, right now I'd like to fast forward 3-months. I felt the same way after my tummy tuck... I wanted to make time fly.

I had monster crotch all my life. It was at its worst when I was fat, but still not normal when I was thin. I recall how freaking humiliated I was to have to stand naked for my PS with that thing. But he is a miracle worker. 

After my tummy tuck, he made me look normal. No more monster crotch. It was a remarkable transformation. 

I asked him to do better at my next surgery. He said sure, I can  make you tighter. I know just how I am going to fix you.

So he revised me. And now I cannot believe how freaking sexy my vag looks. And my thighs. And my flat tummy. It is the total package but I can't help but gaze at my vag in the mirror. I cannot believe what a phenomenal job he did.make you tighter. I know just how I am going to fix you.

You can see my before pix in my album. I think you will be very impressed when you see my after pix when I get them loaded.

I had my second set of drains pulled yesterday and I am nearly walking upright. I am so glad to get rid of those bulbs around my waist! There was barely any fluid in them and what was there was nearly clear. Doctor said that is about as good as it gets!

He said my incisions all look very good and that my healing is going very well after such a big surgery. I agree. I can compare my incisions this  time around to my TT incision last April and these incisions just seem to be healing much more beautifully. I attribute it to the supplements I take, especially the glutamine, as well as being in much better physical condition this time around. I weigh less, eat better, and exercise - in fact I pumped up my work outs two weeks prior to surgery to build my body to endure and have a better recovery. A big thanks to my daughter/coach for motivating me and developing the work outs and hikes!time around to my TT incision last April and these incisions just seem to be healing much more beautifully.

I cannot wait for the next 3-mos to fly by so my body is healed and I can see my results. The waiting is hard! I look crummy without being able to do hair and makeup, wear nice clothes, and being all swollen. My waist is gone! I feel fat. I know it is just temporary but I feel that I look crappy like I did 6-mos ago before my tummy tuck, well maybe not THAT bad, but close.

Sometime after my surgeon pulled the drains yesterday I began to get chills. I was freezing and trying everything to get warm. I took a hot shower, ate some hot soup, and turn up the hotel room heat high. Finally I took my temp and it was 101.5. 

I called my surgeon and he said to take some Tylenol and call him in the morning. He said thwt sometimes when they pull the last drains the patient  gets a fever although he is not really sure why. 

I took the acetaminophen but had a hard night. I kept having chills and sweats from the fever. This morning I feel just lousy and I still have a fever of 101.1. So he is calling in a script for Cipro for me and told me to walk around and do deep breathing to try to knock this thing out. I have to fly home tomorrow and don't want to feel like this when I do.

He asked if any of my incisions looked red or inflamed. Nope. They look as good as ever. I do still have thwt hacking cough that I have had for about a week. I don't know if it is related to anything.gets a fever although he is not really sure why.

I just ate an Omelet and feel like vomiting. All I want to do is sleep.


 

Take it easy ms. frankenbarbie:)  I'm sorry you're under the weather, but it sounds like you're doing the right thing by keeping your doc clued in.  Oh to be three or four months out would be amazing...unfortunately we have to be patient. 

Thank you! I am not feeling 100% yet but much improved and certainly able to fly home tomorrow. Can I at least FF through the next 4-weeks? At 6-weeks post op I should be able to resume exercise and all that good stuff that makes me feel like a sexy woman. Oh and sex, let's not forget about sex. I enjoy it more with this hot body of mine, LOL!
