Update after my surgery!

Hey Y'all!!! I just wanted to stop in and catch you up on how I am doing. My surgery was last Thursday morning....I'm still a little blurry with all of the times that things happened, but when I went back for surgery, my wonderful dear surgeon, Dr. Jack, told my dh that it would be about 4 hours. After 4 1/2 hours my dh got worried...the surgery ended up taking right at 6 1/2 hours!!!! I could not believe it!!! Fortunately there were no complications, just a picky surgeon!!! He wanted everything to look good! He started with my breasts, did the reduction and lift (my dh says that "the mountains went to molehills!")....they are small...but I was a 36 LL, so, anything would look small to me! Then he moved to my revision tummy tuck and hip revision....then to my liposuction...and can I tell you...I am a week out today, and still having pain in my liposuction area!!! UGH! It is much rougher than I expected! Right now, I am okay with the way I look, but can not wait for the swelling to go down...Let's see if I can recap my losses.... Pre RNY(2005) - 325 Pre Panniculectomy(5/2007) - 225 Pre Reduction(10/2007) - 215 1 week post reduction - 205 ....just 5 more lbs...I really wanna be under 200!!! ~~emily

Wow, Emily...you sure did have a lot done! Why did you have to have revisions?? I don't think I ever heard of a LL cup size! WOW...What will you be now? Rest and heal...it's important! paula

Congradulations on successful surgery. I have had a Breast lift and tummy tuck and am scheduled for lower body lift and thighs Dec 7. I am hopinghti is the END of surgery for me. Take care of yourself.
