Feeling better-no more drains!
My doctor removed my drains today! It is only 7 days since surgery, but my drains had already mostly dried up. I feel so much better and can tell more what I will look like. It is exciting! He also said I could leave my bra off at night if I want, and wear my own bra instead of the surgical bra. It is amazing to have this new slim body that only two years ago was obese. I can't wait for the swelling to go down and to start buying cute clothes!
What did he say about the lumps in your armpits you were concerned about?
