So today I had my 4 week check out, although technically 4 weeks was 2 days ago on monday....but anyway-I still have a ton of hardness around my waist. It's like a hard thick band goes all the way around my waist-across my abs, and across my mid back. I guess that's good news because that means the scar tissue will still go away and I'll be even smaller! Anyhow, he sent me my before and after pics as of post op-and 1 month and 2 days.

Saw the doc today, he took out my drain and told me with a definate yes that if bee still getting way smaller with more sculpting to my abs and even thinner thighs still. Awesome! He also told me that I didn't have to wear my compression garmet anymore so I took off my fill body one and purchased a fleexes forum control tank top one. It works awesome.

So, day 5 post op. Sorry I didn't get pics up yesterday but I just didn't feel up to it. But here are some pics I took today. My stomach has gotten a little flatter, my back is still really swollen but it's flatter too, and my butt is better also.

Wait times

The wait time for Dr. Richards when I scheduled my surgery Jan 26, was april or may. However, when I explained to him that I really wanted to get it done before my husband got back home from military training he got me a spot for the OR room for Feb 6. His staff was super nice and always answered my questions no matter how small they were. They were never once snobbish, just very smiley, and they looked like the really did love their job of helping others!
