I know I haven’t posted anything since my day 20 post-op post. Unless you really wanted to hear about my day to day life, work, and so on, nothing exciting really happened. I went and saw the new Grudge movie, that was about it. However, starting on Monday, 20 January Continue Reading
PetraAnn
PetraAnn was first diagnosed with Lipedema in fall 2015 after years of eating keto and exercising with no weight loss results. After diagnosis, she has gone through 8 tumescent liposuction procedures from 2016 until 2018 and on 17 December 2019 underwent an abdominoplasty to remove the remaining 3-4 liters of lippy fat and loose skin.
ABDOMINOPLASTY DAY 20 POST-OP
Went back to my biggest client’s office today and it felt pretty good to get out of the house. I’ve been off oxy since last week so I was even able to drive myself. Sitting in the drivers seat didn’t hurt any of the incisions at all. I did have Continue Reading
ABDOMINOPLASTY DAY 18 POST-OP
It’s day 19 post-op and honestly, it’s been pretty unexciting since my last update. I still have the remaining drain in because it keeps producing around 100ml a day. I’ve read that this can happen and outside of it poking me sometimes when I walk up the stairs or try Continue Reading
Happy New Year! 2020!
Another year has gone by and today is the 1st day of 2020! I’m officially 15 days post-op from my abdominoplasty and about 4.5 years post op from my first liposuction. I can’t believe it’ll be 5 years since I was first diagnosed with Lipedema in the fall of this Continue Reading
ABDOMINOPLASTY DAY 14 POST-OP
I’ve found in most of my surgeries, after the first 3 or 4 days there isn’t a whole lot to report in post-op reports since not much will significantly change. However, I feel like everyone will want to hear about my total and complete break down this morning when I Continue Reading
ABDOMINOPLASTY DAY 13 POST-OP
Today is 13 days after my abdominoplasty on 17 December 2019. I’m actually feeling pretty good. I’ve moved off Oxycodon every 4 hours to every 6 hours but I’m trying to keep the Paracetamol up every 4 hours since the wounds do get tender if I let it gap. 1st Continue Reading
Abdominoplasty Day 7 Post-Op
It’s 4am and I’m here to tell you day 7 (Christmas eve no fucking less) SUCKS. Pretty much since the 1st day post-op, if I moved wrong or tried standing up too straight, I’d get this wicked twinge in my left side. It’s almost as if Alien is trying to Continue Reading
Abdominoplasty Surgery Day
On 17 December 2019 I would go in for an abdominoplasty with no muscle repair. Just skin removal in a fleur-de-lis cut. In the grand scheme of things, this is a much heavier surgery than the 8 liposuction procedures I’d done since February 2016. I’d not only be going under Continue Reading
Abdominoplasty Pre-Op Appointment
After spending 10 days in Orlando, Florida (to see the Mouse and ride some roller coasters with family and friends), I got to come home for my abdominoplasty pre-op appointment. I would just like to throw out something before I go into the appointment, this will probably not be like Continue Reading
Abdominoplasty is Scheduled
It took awhile to get here but my abdominoplasty (without any additional liposuction or stomach muscle repair) has finally been scheduled! Quick Catch Up of Events August 2018 I went to a surgeon at the UMC Utrecht hospital that I was referred to by my own liposuction surgeon. This plastic Continue Reading
