I had little to no pain with my breasts. I was off all pain meds (prescribed) at 4 days even with the LBL.

You look amazing. I will be doing cartwheels if my post lift boobs look anything like yours. that is the one part I'm concerned about. (that and the fact that they only give me 1 week of pain meds) apparently it is regulation here now. if I need more I have to go to my family doctor for a prescription, which is a pain in the butt.

I have had night sweats off and on since WLS, but I don't think I've had them more or less since LBL, etc?

Topic: Night Sweats?

Did anyone have night sweats many weeks out from plastic surgery? They've started since surgery and I'm not quite 35 so I don't think they are otherwise hormonal. I notice on days that I'm exceptionally swollen I will wake up in a pool of sweat at night. It's gross and uncomfortable to the point of making the bed wet. Is this just the body ridding itself of fluids? I remember sweating horribly after both my c-sections and had terrible edema due to Pre-E to get rid of.

Topic: Tomorrow is the big day...

Tomorrow I will have LBL to remove the loose and hanging skin that is a constant reminder of the damage I did to my body previously as well as how far I've come to correct that damage and make healthier choices.

Am I nervous? Not overly. Excited? Yes, I think so. Mixed feelings really. I'm obviously not looking forward to the painful healing process but understand that's part of it.

Just cant imagine a flat stomach. The thought seems so foriegn to me. Part of me wonders if it will actually work, lol.

Anyway, its been one heck of a journey so far and I'm excited for the next chapter.

Cheers!

I would highly recommend my surgeon - Dr. Reish. He's also on the UES. Wonderful doctor, amazing aftercare, gives all patients his cell, and my results have been stellar! You can see my before/afters in my profile. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

My TT with Lipo and lift with augmentation cost me $15,900 total in NYC. Not bad!

Congratulations! I don't think I've tucked in my shirt since before puberty. And I haven't worn short sleeves in at least 25 years, so I'm looking forward to the arm lift after...
