PO Day 24 & 120lbs?! Heck Yes!
So far I'm pretty pleased with my results. It's hard to fully enjoy it with the swelling I get outside of my CG. But there's no more lumps under the yoga pants or under form fitting shirts so no complaints. My scar seems to be healing well. I've always been super sensitive so bruising is still an issue along the scar - especially on the hips. My right side contour seems to be healing better than my left side contour over my hip. I'm hoping it's just the swelling and not the need for a small revision. My PS advised that I could start massaging my abdomen & scar so I've got the Palmer's oil and will start that this week. I have a couple small scabs on my scar but they're thin and super small so I'll avoid those for now. A big positive - I'm now at 120lbs - down 12lbs from surgery day. That is totally exciting! I still fluctuate a couple pounds depending on the day but I eat healthy, still trying to drink more water but iced tea with lemon seems to be the easiest way to do that for me. Dodging sodium is still a struggle.....still miss pickles. Jeans fit great but it's been so nice here that I think it's maxi's between now & the end of summer. Let's face it, it's Seattle, summer doesn't last that long. New pics coming shortly!
PO Day 12 - Land of the living!
PO Day 7 - Small set back
Provider Review
Dr. Gottlieb and his staff were the most competent, positive and informative practice I visited during my research period. From providing info to questions I didn't even think of to ensuring I had a realistic expectation of final results, they were the perfect fit. It was an instantaneous realization from the moment I walked in the front door; I just knew they were the practice for me. Viv sat with me during my first consultation and assisted me with booking my surgery. My original intent was to do a TT w/ MR and a BA. After much thought about how the TT would change the proportions of my body, I started having second thoughts on the BA. Viv and Dr. Gottlieb were very patient with me and helped me come to the conclusion that I wasn't ready for the BA. And that we could revisit that if I chose to later. My nurse Lindsey was with me for my 2 week pre op and I of course got to meet with Dr. Gottlieb to go over the day of game plan. He met my husband and took the time to ensure he understood what we would be doing once I was in the operating room. Surgery was paid in full that day, we paid our RN anesthetist day of. Sheila called me 2 nights prior to surgery and she spent 25 mins explaining everything and calming my nerves. I was blessed to have her by my side. Jamie was my post-op nurse and she was gentle and sincere. She's an amazing addition to their staff. My overall experience with Dr. Gottlieb and his staff at Naficy Plastic Surgery & Rejuvenation Center was very positive. I would not hesitate to recommend him or to revisit him if I decide to opt for a BA or other procedures. I'm grateful for his experience and attention to detail. I know my overall results and recovery will be a direct reflection of it all. I am eternally grateful for Dr. Gottlieb's part in improving my quality of life. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
