You looked fine! I look like a compression patchwork quilt with my pants falling down!

I do remember feeling that way too. Also, my PS told me that if I didn't myself long enough to heal before I started working out that I would continue to swell and prolong my recovery.

Thanks Kelly! It is just so hard because I'm not in any real pain and want to get moving outside in the nice weather, but no go! The threat of a seroma is keeping me compliant though!

I know that it's warped, but I love Sibley and have had such a great experience there for my hysterectomy and PS. My wife has also had two hospitalizations plus multiple ER visits. It isn't convenient to get to from anywhere, but they do what they do right!

Well, the compression gear ain't pretty and neither are the incisions, but I think it will help pre-op folks to have a better idea of what they are in for and what the drains look like.

Topic: RE: TLC's Skin Tight

I just had an extended abominoplasty (plus an extended mastopexy) and the surgeon said that they removed just over 800 grams of skin, no fat to remove. I had alot to take off but because there wasn't any extra fat it didn't weight that much.
