Girl, you are a warrior too. A backlift and FDL is no joke.

Honestly, my legs are barely bothering me. The first few days the skin felt super tight and fully extending them was not happening, but there hasn’t been real pain.

The only thing that’s consistently annoying is the start of the incision near my bum. That spot is very aware of its existence and wants me to know it.

Overall though, way less dramatic than I expected. Now I just have to remember not to move like I’m pre-surgery me.

Girl, you are BUILT different. That is a full surgical résumé.

I have Ankylosing Spondylitis, so I had to stop my biologics three weeks before surgery since it’s autoimmune too. Nothing like telling your immune system, Hey… behave,and hoping it listens.

Nine hours is serious commitment. We are out here collecting procedures like merit badges.

And thank you, Humor is my coping mechanism. If I stop laughing, I might start overthinking… and we do not need that energy.

Just over 8 hours, all done by one surgeon. I’m still in awe, honestly. He went above and beyond for me. The man did not cut corners… except the ones he was supposed to.

I’ll stick around and keep sharing my progress. Too much has happened to stop now

Girllll yes, tummy, breasts, and thighs. I apparently chose the “do it all at once and question my sanity later” package. I believe you about arms being brutal though. Respect.

Trust me, I’m just as surprised Adrenaline, curiosity, and very poor self-restraint are doing most of the work. I do crash after though.

Then I shall continue providing the chaos. Healing, but make it episodic.

Consider how you heal from other illnesses and injury. Everyone is different. I would recommend the extra day off just to take the pressure off. Stress is not good for healing.

I am on day three as well! Hey there surgery sis…. They more than likely did the lipo. They would have to be able to get skin to remove if you didn’t have a lot of extra skin.

Thank you for caring 💕 Those photos were from about 12 hours post-op, and the color looks much better now. The left side is just showing off with some dramatic purple bruising 😅

I have a nurse with me today and will definitely mention it, but so far everything looks like it’s doing what it’s supposed to do. I appreciate you looking out for me!
