As for him taking off 5 lbs, it could be more, could be less, my doc never gave me an estimate so at least you have an idea. I've not met anyone that has been sorry for having plastic surgery done. I know for myself though I still have some loose skin on my upper stomach I am still so much happier with my appearance than I've ever been in my life. Just remember to take it easy after surgery even though you might feel pretty good the first week. Everything I've read said the first week you were kind of on a high (literally somewhat because you'll have pain meds) but then by week two kind of had a crash (for me it was emotional and physical). Just remember to REST though and not over do it. I can't wait to hear all about it from you. <br /><br />As for the drains since mine were in so darn long and they say not to shower with them I was starting to feel so yucky. After more than a week my best friend (a nurse) told me to just cover where the drains go in and take a shower anyway. So I just tied a string around my neck to hold up the drains while I took a quick shower. She said just don't stand under the water super long. I felt a million times better after that. But if it's just 5 days you probably won't need to worry about that and can just wait till they are out. <br /><br />Well good luck and I will keep checking back here for posts.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12361822126973131737noreply@blogger.com
