Here are the pictures that I took the day after I had my upper stomach and back done

I apologize for the drainage, but there was no way to avoid it.  I’ve never drained so much before.  The doctor said that the reason it seems so much worse this time is because the incisions right above my hip bones were the lowest drain points, where before the lowest incision was on my vagina.

I was extremely nervous the first day after the procedure given how much my mid section was bulging out.  I was assured it was just fluid and swelling, but that doesn’t stop me from worrying about it!

I was surprised that I didn’t have more bruising given how painful the procedure was and the fact that it was mostly all over my ribs.
