Bless your heart! One of my really good friends had the gastric bypass & after she had her 2nd child, she had a breast reduction & tummy tuck while her husband was in Afghanistan. She had an awful time with it b/c she had to deal with a staph infection & multiple complications. :( She's much better now & had similar swelling but everything looks so much better now! :)
I hope your recovery is going well and your swelling is getting better! I am having my surgery in two and a half weeks after losing 130 pounds and can't wait but I have been watching people's video diaries on here to help me prepare myself. Thank you so much for putting this up so I can realistically know what to expect and what can happen.

very strange that you don't have drainage tubes o.O I had a tummy tuck which is quite miniscule compared to your body lift and I had a drainage tube attached to a small collection bottle. Hopefully all is going very well for you! Take care and can't wait to see the final outcome :-D Btw...gratz on the extreme amount of weight loss
@angelztearz72 Yeah I didnt get drain tubethis time because the skin is so tight they are going to go in with a needle on my next appt - Thursday, and pull some fluids. It does look pretty terrible right now but I am only 9 days post op as of today, so it has a LOT of swelling and a LOT of fluid built up, but after my next appt I will be two weeks post op and I will make another video - it takes something like 6 wks to 6 months for the swelling to go down... yuk!
@Thebodells Because it was pulled so tight they are puling the fluids by needle. Sounds worse than it is. Actually since the drains are out it will heal faster, so this is a good thing lol. It looks horrific but every day it gets better and in about 6 weeks it shouldlook a little flatter and within 6 months it should look much better than it does. Thank you for the wishes!!!!
