Default Circumferential body lift done

September 25th I had my back half and flanks lifted; my plastic surgeon said they removed 10lbs of skin.

My PS decided not to do the thigh lift at the same time since he'd taken so much skin and the lift itself was a large operation the thigh lift will be done in a separate surgery.

I must have a lot of fluid still and drainage to go tho since I've weighed myself since surgery and noticed I'm up about 8lbs!! Can't wait for the drains to take some of that away and the swelling to go down.

Now, I sit at home on Tylenol 3's with codeine and my antibiotics (to prevent infection) waiting for the pain to be over with...

Hope you are all doing well, hugs, Kimberly
