You are a sillyhead, Luci!!

And really, corset, not even pressure elastic? I dunno...I would stick with a heavy duty shaper until the swelling is GONE. A corset is designed to give you a small waist, NOT a slim allover look. Corsets MOVE your flesh.

Hopefully one of the nurses will see this and give you the lecture you deserve!

Yes LadyHib, I am hoping for a corset. My reasoning is this for both the bra and corset...
My skin isn't fully adhered to my body yet, If I wear a push forward bra and a mild waist training corset, I can force it to heal into the shape I want as my end outcome. My doctor said he hasn't ever had anyone ask about that but in theory it *might* work so he gave me the go ahead...with the side note that i it makes me too uncomfortable I am to go back to the hospital garments which Mr heard and I agreed to. And yes, I am actually looking for the small waist, but I will buy one that's not *too* curved because I'm only looking to shape a little bit, not go crazy. Think hourglass as opposed to wasps waist. And my boobs are sitting way too far back in my armpits still...a lot of that may very well be swelling, but I'd rather push them where I want them BEFORE the skin finds where it wants to stick than have to go in and have another proceedure done in a year. Make sense?

I won't be buying anything however until I can get some of this damned pressure relieved...guess what I've been unable to do yet *blech* Hoping to fix that this evening when Mr gets home because I literally feel like my tummy is going to pop.

And yes, I know what a dumbass I was today ;(

I think it's a bad idea until your skin has adhered. Your skin isnt making your shpe, the underlying tissue is, and it needs even prrssure to accomplish that. Does your doctor understand that when you say 'corset' you mean a sewn, inflexible object, and not an elastic girdle?

So YAY! Success!! I started to take laxatives and an anti swelling medication both prescribed by my doctor yesterday as soon as I got home. By late evening I literally felt like every millimeter of my skin between my ribs and my hips was stretched to the max and I was going to pop like an overfilled water balloon.
This morning I woke up and my pressure garment feels MUCH less constricting so the anti swelling stuff is working and I feel bunches better. The other thing worked as well, so pressure from both outside and inside is considerably less.

Going to have Mr go pick up my refill of sleeping pills and pain meds this afternoon. Hopefully I won't need to take either one much longer. I am already able to slow way down on the pain meds. Instead of taking 8-12 per day I only needed to take a total of 4 yesterday. I also severely increased my liquid intake starting yesterday. I'm of course having to pee a lot more often, but it is also helping me feel like things are moving like they should. I had thought the 4 glasses of water I was drinking was enough before, but apparently it wasn't and I am feeling tons better today. My headache that's been nagging all week has also dissappeared.

I'm hoping I can get in a little extra moving around today without a lot of pain. Though I haven't been eating much (mostly fruits and soups) the crampy feeling you get when things get a little stuck is kind of nagging me a little bit and I'd like my system to get back into full natural gear by the end of tomorrow aafternoon. My back muscles seem to be what bothers me the most because I have to walk hunched over and my back overcompensates for what my tummy normally is supposed to do but can't.

Anyway, going to go try to walk a little bit and then grab a nap ;)

p.s. my tongue is still numb and it's getting a little bit annoying...food doesn't taste right and that makes me a sad little demon

I can't explain the tongue numbing. I didn't have that. It sounds odd. Did you tell your doc about that? As for the corset, I'm not sure it's such a good idea right now. I would personally wait about a month at least. I think you would have better shape and healing from the binder your doc gave you. I've been thinking lately of buying a corset but I'm 3 months out and mostly healed. But I would like to get a corset to change my shape just a little bit extra and I think it would help with some of the swelling I still have. But your skin hasn't adhered itself yet so I would be a little iffy on one right now.

I did mention the numbness Friday, but Mr and a nurse were also in the room so with everything else we were talking about I think he missed it. NO biggie tho, I will bring it up again Monday I guess. It's most likely related to the pain med allergy I have and the benedryl just isn't making that part stop...though it is helping a little bit with the itching!

I'm actuallt going to skip the corset for now. My swelling is going up and down (was fine this morning, feeling a little bloated this aftenroon) and LadyHib is right, the garment they sent me home with is flexable and a corset is not.
I'm way too wiped out to do any shopping today too so I'm skipping the bras as well till maybe Tuesday or Wednesday as well...I <might> have permission to drive by then. we'll see. I hope so.
From my previous experience though, I won't get the go ahead to drive until I am off the pain meds...even if I promise not to drive on them. So most likely it's going to be about a week before I can.

Also, I fessed up to Mr about going out for a thermometer last night. He was displeased, but not angry and He said he actually agreed with my reasoning (good, that means the meds aren't fucking with my head too badly LOL) I think He was more annoyed that I didn't ask Him to grab one before He went to work than with me having to get one. Problem was, I didn't feel feverish until after He had left already.

I still haven't been able to sleep yet this afternoon and I'm on the verge of tears from being so tired and drained feeling but I just can't seem to calm enough to close my eyes and rest.

Going to try VERY hard today to not take any pain meds. If I don't need those today that means I can stop a bunch of the other crap the doctor has me taking as well (benedryl and laxatives for starters)
I really hate the fuzzy feeling I've had in my head all week and I'm in a damned hurry to get some clarity back.

This morning I am feeling less swollen and I feel like I have a little more energy than last night...just like yesterday morning. But I ended up caving in the evening because I was struggling to drift off to sleep for a nap in the afternoon, so I did medicate just so I could force my body to relax enough to try to sleep.

The result was not in fact sleep, I didn't end up sleeping until after 10pm last night and even then it took a sleeping pill to get my eyes to close. I just was high as a fuckin kite all afternoon and ended up being pretty much immobile and feeling unstable on my feet. I sincerely hope today is different.

I am going to have Mr help me shower again this afternoon, maybe some of the random itching all over my skin will stop. I am also starting to have some itching along my scar lines too. The breast ones arent bad, I can just rub them gently and it goes away. I'm having trouble with the long one on my tummy though because it will start to itch like mad but when I go to rub it, the area where it itches is numb to the touch...so rubbing doesn't do shit for me <frustrating as all fuck> Of course I don't want to actually scratch anywhere because I don't want to rip anything open and wind up with more stitches or an infection, this already sucks badly enough without extra issues.

On a good note, I lifted up my pressure garment this morning and enough of the swelling has gone down that I can actually SEE the flatness of my tummy! YAYAYAYAY!!!!! My boobs are still WAY too big though. Doc says that's mainly swelling..he better be right LOL.

I know I promised you guys pictures and yes I am taking them as I go along, but I don't intend to post them until I can get some "pretty" after shots...I know you guys want to see the shiney new Charger with it's brand new metallic cherry paint and the hood up with the engine all chromed up in the park with a nice backdrop, not just the rusty handyman special or the primer job with the rusty engine and garage rags layin around <grin> So yes, it will be about a month before I post anything visual....but I will post them ALL at that point.

Time to go wake up Mr.
Back later on ;)

I had a paniculectomy and a breast reduction at the same time, and i didn't walk upright for about a month. I didn't look like a little old woman, but i was definitely leaning forward. Eventually it will relax enough to let you stand up straight.
Wear whatever the doc tells you to wear - i stopped wearing the surgical bra too soon and some of my suture lines spread because of the stretch on the tissue.

The more you drink the faster the swelling goes down.

Grapes are great for constipation!

Even if you gain weight, you will look better than you did before the surgery.

Your belly will probably always be a bit numb. Mine is especially towards the midline.

Don't rush it - you have the rest of your life to live in your new body - let it get settled first - and the boobs will drop - due to gravity... the surgeon compensates for this by making them high. Just let them settle over the next few months.

All of these aren't actually medical advice, but i found them useful or they came to me during my recovery.

Enjoy the new bod - but don't expect to be perfect for a bit.

I have been drinking TONS of water. It actuslly has helpd both the swelling and the other issue quite a bit.

I hope I never gain any weight. That wasn't really ever an issue for me anyway, I hovered around the same numbers for a very long time. My problem <was> stretched tissue due to 2 very large babies...I was ALL baby when I was pregnant both times. Oh and breastfeeding...the boys broke me. All fixed now ;)

I don't ind the numbness much, I just need to get used to it. Thanksfully none of the tissue anywhere on my breasts is numb at all.
They're not in pain either which is a pleasant suprise. I expected my boobs to hurt as much as my tummy.

Trying not to rush it. I have to keep reminding myself of just what you said...I have the rest of my life to live in this new body. I look in the mirror and it still doesn't seem like <my> body yet.
My boobs aren't too high, they're too big. The positioning IMO is fine. They poke out sideways quite a bit still and I really don't like it. It makes me look like I'm stnading like a body builder...I can't put my arms all the way down. They still spill out over the sides of the bra too. <yuck> I'm praying that's just swelling. If it's not though I will be going back to have him fix that.

Thanks! I appreciate advice and info from ladies who have been where I am. Helps me to not feel alone. Mr loves me and is happy with it, but He will never do what I did so He can never understand what's in my head if that makes any sense.

And I didn't expect it to be perfect...ever. Just better than it was. And that's what I got, so I am actually happy in that regard.
I'm only a week out of surgery tho so TBH I am not making any judgements yet as far as if I am happy with it or niot. Around the 3 month mark or so I will start really looking at myself and getting comfortable with my shape then. It's way too early to tell yet.

Im almost dreading updating tonight.
I had a really bad day.

This morning when I woke up I was perfectly fine. I felt ok, my head was clear, I wasn't in a lot of pain.
Yesterday I decided it was time to cut the pain meds. I didn't take anything but my antibiotic until late in the evening right before bed...I medicated heavily before sleep and went to bed a very comfortable girl. Tried the same thing today...ecxept I also had a doctors appointment this afternoon. By the time I was supposed to leave for my appointment I was extremely nauseated (antibiotics with no food = fucked up tummy) The nurse changed my strips, took out the last drain (YAY) gave me a stern look over how my belly button is looking (red and angry) and handed me a new script for antibiotic, gave me the Ok to drive as long as I don't medicate and sent me on my way.
When we got home, I had some lunch and went to take a nap.
I was <supposed to> have some help this evening making dinner. Ther person that was expected comepletely blew me off and I ended up having to do it on my own. By the time dinner was ready it felt like my whole body was on fire. It felt like I could feel every single stitch pulling, my cuts all felt rubbed raw, my belly felt like flames and my back was just screaming even my boobs were in pain today. I hadn't taken any pain meds at all during the day and it took me about an hour to get dinner prepared...so I was on my feet for an hour chopping and mixing etc (home made jumbalaya...YUM)

Long story short...I think I've been a little hasty in the cutting the meds out entirely department. I do ok in the mornings, but I really need them to be able to function in the evenings. Mr has ordered me not to be such a stubborn dumbass over the meds in the next few days and just take the damn things as I need them instead of trying to be all tough and brave. Maybe I'll be able to put them down by the end of the week...I hope.

*sigh*
Yes, Sir.

I think it's a bad idea until your skin has adhered. Your skin isnt making your shpe, the underlying tissue is, and it needs even prrssure to accomplish that. Does your doctor understand that when you say 'corset' you mean a sewn, inflexible object, and not an elastic girdle?

LOL probably not :P

Please explain it to your doctor, you know all the pain, the fear you had, not to mention the money being undone because of a misunderstanding? Doesn't sound like a great plan!

No need LadyC. LadyHic has already pretty much talked me out of it. Also since I have noticed my swelling going up and down almost every single day I now too agree that a corset is not such a great idea until later on. Right now I need the flexibility of the hospital binder because when i get more swollen it will expand with my body as needed and you're both correct, a corset will not do that for me. The off the shelf corsets from places like Fredriks of Hollywood aren't strong enough to keep me bound well enough without the plastic shit boning buckeling and poking the crap out of my ribs so those are out too.

I lived with ugly for 20 years, though my patience is very thin tright now and I am desperate to see final results right now, I can live for another 3-4 months without ruining what the doctor did for me.

I'm still gonna update this thread when I need to though. So far it has helped me considerably. Instead of writing these things in my journal, it has allowed folks to react to things I'm thinking and helped me put my right head back on my shoulders where it belongs (i.e the corset idea and taking my meds). So, the more people that contribute, the better off I am in the end and I really do appreciate everyones feedback.
I am also open to p.m.s any time as well. If anyone wants to see the current pictures just ask I'm happy to send them. Be forewarned though, they're still ALL ugly LOL.

**WARNING**

This update contains a lot of whining and complaining and does not require and suggestions or solutions to the following gripes. I just am feeling the need to get some stuff out and this seems like a good place to do it. I'm not telling anyone NOT to respond, I'm just saying I know I'm feeling/acting like a tired toddler so no need to point it out LOL.

ok so, I am almost 2 weeks post surgery now and I am already noticing some changes. Some are good, some are not so good. Some are temporary and some are permanent. I'm not gonna type em out in any particular order, just whatever comes to mind as I go.

1) I'm sick and tired of swallowing pills. Of all the things I could be swallowing, pills is one of least favorites. I did manage to go all day yesterday without needing pain meds at all until late at night. I only took those because I needed to mellow out so I could fall asleep, (sleeping pill too and neither helped) but I am on my second round of antibiotics this week, the new ones are fucking HORSE pills and every time I go to take one I practically choke. I hate taking any kind of meds to begin with and I've been on so many meds for the last 2 weeks I feel like a biological pharmacy.

2) Some of my swelling is noticably going down. Trouble is, the fat under my arms, which the Dr said he excised is still VERY noticable, I am terrified that he didn't take enough from there. Though I no longer have a "tube" of fat leading to an ugly udder, the fat that's left still spills over my bra strap and looks like shit. I feel like a football player...I can't put my arms down at my sides like I should be able to. We'll see what the next few weeks do and if it goes down any more, but as it is right now, I am NOT happy.

3) He had my breast drains coming out from the spot I just got done bitching about, I have big pimple looking welts at the exit site. I am worried that the one on the right may have a cyst in it since the flesh feels very hard...both of them are still really tender, every time my arms brush the area it hurts...not shooting pain hurts, but irritating hurts..he could have picked a better spot IMO.

4)Last week I couldn't poop at all...this week it seems like that's all I fuckin DO is poop. Sunday was rabbit turds, one time...now it's footballs...all fucking day. I don't know where the hell it's all coming from either since I don't really have much of an appetite. I had to FORCE myself to eat an entire dinner salad last night. In order for my new antibiotic to not make me puke, I have to choke down some grapes or something small in the mornings (OMG puking right now would just KILL me) and sometimes even that doesn't help I still feel pukey after the pills.

5) Speaking of the drains coming out...all 4 are gone now. BUT the last one to come out has now left my body with a dilema...what to do with the fluid it wasn't done getting rid of? I'll tell you what...There is a golfball size liquid cyst now sitting right at the front my my mons area. My pussy is so fat (how fat is it Luci?) My pussy is so fat I swear to god people might think I'm hiding a penis in there for later use. The skin is tender as all fuck from the pressure from under it so anything that touches it feels like a fire poker. The pressure garment I have to wear on my tummy for the next 2 more weeks sits...you guessed it, right on top of the tender part of the skin. *uugh** Oh and the top of the damn thing feels like it is crushing my ribs and they feel all bruised and sore. My boobs ARE bruised, my ribs are feeling it.

6) My belly button is refusing to heal. There is an angry red circle in the middle of my tummy that just looks all eww. I don't think the doctor left enough skin for it to be able to air out properly and heal, plus it's WAY too small even if it does heal. I don't think he can fix that either. I'm kind of pissed off that I didn't even think to discuss it with him before surgery and now I'm stuck with a tiny little belly button. These new antibiotics better fucking work...like by tomorrow.

7) I am feeling well enough that I am wanting to start going out to do things...like buy bras or go out to lunch or take a short walk...I garuntee the process of getting ready to go out anywhere (shower, dry hair, get dressed) will wear me out so any plans I make are gonna go kersplat at the front door. Can you say "Stir crazy!!"

8) I miss sleeping in the fetal position in my bed curled around my fluffy pillow. Don't get me wrong, the recliner I have been sleeping in for the last couple of weeks is super ultra comfy and stuff...but I MISS SLEEPING MY MY BED. I feel like I sleep a lot lighter in the recliner...meaning I am not feeling rested when I wake up in the morning, meaning by 2 in the afternoon I am wiped out and cranky and need a nap that I can't take because I can't get myself to fall asleep (4 days now)
And, the position I have to sleep and walk is is reaking havoc on my back, My back muscles are feeling permamently tight and sore and I can't even lay on my tummy for a nice back rub to soothe it <cry>

9) I miss being touched by Mr. The first few days He was afraid He might hurt me. Now I think He is worried I'm gonna hurt Him LOL. I miss cuddeling, I miss sitting in His lap while he strokes my hair, I MISS SPANKINGS OMG OMG!!!

10) The doctor won't let me have an orgasm for at least another week. I don't really <want> one right now...haven't felt horny or anything at all...but leading from missing being touched...well...things happen dammit. So of course Mr knows how I am so he hasn't touched me at all and well...it's depressing.

11) Thankfully I haven't had any full blown depressive eposides...yet. Been there done that in the past and do not want to ever go back there. I have been feeling extremely impatient and antsy and just fucking ready to move forward...I hate being stuck in this holding pattern. Not able to make any plans because I can't predict what's going to happen even in the near future. So, I have to just <wait>...wait wait wait...fuck that.

12) My passport...Before I went and had my surgery, we all applied for our passports so Mr could take me on a cruise. Well, when Mr and I got married, I changed both my first AND my last name. At the time it was perfectly legal because it was before the laws changed due to Sept 11th terrorist attacks. It was not at the time required for me to go in front of a judge and get my name changed through the court because it was being legally changed through marraige (kind of a loophole, but legal at the time)...still with me?
Ok, since the Sept 11th crap the laws have now changed. Anyone wanting to change thier FIRST name when they get married, now needs to see a judge. Only 1 time before this have I had an issue with it and that was when we moved from IL to FL and FL didn't recognize my IL drivers lisence as a legal document so I had to get bran new stuff here in FL...took some work, but they matched my SS# to both names and said "Ok, you're good" and gave me my FL drivers leisence and it's been no problem since.
NOW I need a fucking passport...and you know how the US Government is...none of them understand plain fuckin English and the decision to grant or deny you whtever is being asked for is ALWAYS up to the retard at the desk your paperwork is on and if they have PMS or not. I sent in all my documents....long forms of both my birth certificate and marraige certificate a copy of my SS card...I had with me my sons birth certificate (that also has my legal name on it) and my dads death certificate (that has both mine and his names on it) to turn in but the guy taking the papers wouldn't let me send those in. So NOW I get a call from the passport people telling me...you guessed it...I gotta send more shit in. *sigh* ...idiots.

K, now that I've cried a book (again) I'm gonna go see what I can find on tv to distract me for awhile because I'm now feeling like I want to hit things.
