    Default Recovering

    Today is dAy 3 after my second plastics.

    I had a pain pump last time so it's hard to compare. I am totally watching the clock for when my next pain med can be taken.

    They did my turkey neck. It's gone but face still swollen.

    They did my legs. Look amazing so far.

    They also revised tummy surgery. Damn! My tummy is now board flat.

    They didn't need drain on legs but tummy was more extensive than they thought so I needed one for that. It's slowed down a lot so I'm sure it will be gone this week.

    I'll be thrilled to be past this miserable pain and cranky time.

    I learned to pee standing up cause sitting is hard. Tmi but I really hope I can have a bowel movement soon. I'm kinda afraid to but know I gotta. Taking stool softener.

    The dr said in 10 years I was on his top 10 of extra skin. I guess because I lost fast and was heavy so long.

    It's getting better.

    I had what my dr calls a j lift on my face. There r stitches under my chin and all around my ears. They itch. I think the stitches come out tomorrow.

    I also had thigh lift. Originally the incisions were only going to be groin area but they go down my legs now. Not all the way to the knew but pretty far down. I guess it was the only way to tackle my skin issues.

    I had a team of. 3 surgeons. The one that specializes in body and weight loss said I was in his top 10 of extra skin.

    I adore my drs but they are on the very high end of cost...,to me it was worth it because I had 3 surgeons vs 1. They didn't in office with no hospital stay, and under twilight sedation vs general. They also did my arms and tummy in April. I was going to wait until the end of the year but one of the dr was retiring in July. I'm also in palm beach county florida....so it can be an expensive area.

    The hardest part now is that sitting is not comfortable. I think because the area is so tight and where the incisions are.

    Overall I am very very happy. I do wNt to adjust my goal weight down and drop a little more...don't tell my hubby. .

    I like being size 10 on bottom but I'm a 12 on top and want that to tighten up.... 5 weeks with no gym...so I'm gonna put it off until I can get back working out.
