30 days from Surgery #1

 

thighplasty day 2

Day 2.. I'm barely able to get up, they have me using a walker for stability, can hardly move my legs,  still feeling woozy anytime I get up!

This has really kicked my a$$.  Probably cuz my body is still weak from other trauma...

My other surgery was a breeze compared to this! (360 TT,Mr, hernia repair, Lower body lift and breast filler on 8/25/21)

 Supposed to be discharged today... Honestly I'm not ready...  Prayers appreciated. I've never experienced pain like this before in my legs.

Surgery #2 scheduled 9-15-21

 Almost time for the Thighplasty- AKA SKIN REMOVAL!!!

I cannot wait to get this excess skin gone!! He will be doing lipo and skin removal

2 weeks post-op

9/7/21   I FINALLY GOT TO SHOWER TODAY!!! that was the longest 2 weeks ever! LOL


I had my post-op follow-up with Dr. Nick today, he took off my bandages and told me I'm a super healer, and he has agreed to move forward with surgery #2.  He was still so on the fence about everything, I've been left in limbo for 2 weeks. He's so worried I'm going to develop a DVT and he didn't want to risk it. We came up with a plan that instead of medial he'll do an Anterior thighplasty, where he cuts from the top of the leg instead of the inner thigh into the groin. He says it's less risk for infection and since I'm at higher risk for infection because of first surgery he feels better doing it this way.  The thing is, that's what we had agreed on a month ago when I met him, lol I am not worried about the scar, he will be able to get the most skin going from the top than the inside.

Here's the difference in a week! I am loving my new body!!! Cannot wait to finish this journey off with the legs!!

Still a little sore but walking upright. I had my pre-op appointment today. Dr says I'm healing so great and he's happy with my progress.  Nothing really to report..

1 Day post op!

 Day 1 was a lot better, I wasn't as dizzy anymore, Dr. Came in and took my bandages off to see my arms! OMG Y'all I cried tears of JOY when I saw how small they were! Never in my life!!! WOW WOW WOW!! No regrets!!!

I'm in complete shock at how much my body has changed!!!! Today they took the catheter out and I was able to walk to the bathroom on my own. I'm still a little dizzy but doing well. Thankfully no more throwing up!!!

Skin Removal Surgery day- 8/25

Got to the hospital at 6am and got checked in. They took me to the Executive Suite!

WOW what a great room. It was a private room with an amazing view of the bay!! 

I went upstairs for Dr Karinios to mark me for surgery and came back down; By the time I got back, it was time to go down for surgery. They wheeled me down to the pre-op area and put my IV in and chatted with me until it was time to go in. Literally, everything after that is a blur I remember going into the OR, and then the next thing I know I woke up asking if my tummy was gone! LOL 

after recovery (all of which was a blur) they brought me back to my room and they were helping me get into bed and I was like WAIT.. Take my pic!! So they held me up and snapped this photo of me right after surgery!  Lol I was still very high on anesthesia lol but man I was THRILLED!!! (on the inside lol)

Somehow I managed to have them call my kids - I don't know but we talked and they kept saying is someone on the phone, do you want us to hang it up, I kept saying no, no I just need to hear their voices!! 

The surgery took longer than expected. Dr originally thought it would be 7 hours and then he found 3 hernias that he ended up repairing and my arms gave him a lot of trouble because of the fibrous tissue that was in my arms. It kept clogging his machine!  Glory to God that I made it through! That was my longest surgery ever. I got sick from the anesthesia and kept throwing up and the room was spinning so the next couple of hours were rough but I pressed through. Thankfully I had a catheter in so I didn't have to get up.
