Hoping It Will Get Rid of my Baby Fat! - Bryn Mawr, PA

I carry all of my weight in my tummy and my flanks...

I carry all of my weight in my tummy and my flanks. After two children, working out 5 times a week, not eating carbs...I'm finished with this! I saw three doctors and chose the most expensive one. Why? He spent the most time with me and gave me the most hope. We'll see, we're two weeks out! I'm doing abs, flanks, and arms. I'm hoping to lose the muffin top!

I will upload my photos before the surgery!

Great review?

The doctor and the Physician's assistants are great. If you can make it past the front desk, you're golden. The receptionists are nice but, they cannot wait to get back to Facebook or something else. They forget half the stuff the PA's tell them and then, you have to call back. The Dr. and PA's are fantastic. I would text Jessica with concerns and she would immediately get back to me. Just remember, you can make it past those cute little girls in the front to get to the professionals in the back!

i just had a consult with same dr., i think i will go with him, he seems very particular and immaculate. expensive though do you have any negative feedback? thanks

He's fantastic, I highly recommend him. But, yes, he is expensive. I love my results. I have abs for the first time EVER.

I have one near my armpit, and one near my elbow in each arm. They aren't healing as fast as they said they would...they are still full of fluid.
Methuen2848 20 Apr 2011
where did they put the incisions for your arms? was it just one for each arm?

updated pics?
MelissaV1 9 Apr 2011
I'm just two days out, nothing to really take pics of. I can tell a small difference in my waist, otherwise, I'm bloated and still full of liquid!!

I'll take a picture a week out.
Methuen2848 17 Apr 2011
looks like you will have some muscle tone showing once all healed, nice!
MelissaV1 18 Apr 2011
I know, I cannot wait until it is healed. It is day 11 and now, I can really tell a difference. My clothes are fitting better, I just can't wait to get rid of the garment during the work day.

Are you still wearing your compression garments?
MelissaV1 18 Apr 2011
I also had vaser not smart lipo (I think they are similar)
Methuen2848 18 Apr 2011
ya the garment is annoying. i have to wear it for 6 weeks. i'm 2.5 into it now.

ya i had the vaser, not smoart-lipo too. i think smart lipo is for smaller areas, like a neck or knees. (i think.)

Wow..I guess I should consider myself lucky. I had my procedure done on Fri. AM and was out to lunch by 1. Sore to touch but nothing more than that. I have 4 entry sites and they are slightly bruised.
I was in my one piece garment for 24 hours, and now spanx for 2 weeks.
Returning in 2 weeks to have inner & outer thighs done.
Really would love to have my arms done, but I was worried about the bruising & hiding it in clothes.
It sounds like you are really happy with the results of yours though!
MelissaV1 10 Apr 2011
Wow...really? I was in the "room" for over 6 hours. It took two hours just for the arms. It is amazing how different doctors are. I go back Thursday to have my drains removed. At least I'm down to one compression garment. Still draining.
MelissaV1 9 Apr 2011
The arms are the best part. They don't really hurt and you can really tell the difference on them already. My drains are catching most of the blood...and today I feel much better.

Yesterday I drove from PA to NJ and I'm not sure that was a good idea!! But, I'm sitting up in bed typing this and grading papers.

I get to switch to one compression garment tonight at 8PM. Two of these things are killer. When do you fly home?
Methuen2848 9 Apr 2011
oh nice that the arms don't hurt much. i flew home 4 days after surgery. today is 8 days after, so i've been home for a few days. ya driving still hurts me, when i hit bumps and stuff... just my love handles still hurt. up and down stairs, or walking real fast (when i had to chase my dog) hurt, haha. my stomach only hurts when i push on it. i'm going to take new pics prob each month after surgery to see results. excited to see yours too!
MelissaV1 9 Apr 2011
So, when did you start feeling more spry? I just slept four hours. I have two kids...and this is taking a toll on their activities!!!

I'm hoping day 3 gets me more mobile. I guess if you flew on Day 4, you were better?
Methuen2848 9 Apr 2011
ya i took 1-2 naps everyday while i was in the hotel. i was more mobile like 4-5 days after surgery. i thought it was the meds making me tired. i actually took the pain pills when i wanted to nap or sleep, cause it helped. but you should be alot more mobile in a few days.
MelissaV1 8 Apr 2011
I'm in a lot of pain. One of the bulbs from my drain won't stay compressed.... But, I'm starting to feel better. Putting those darn compression garments on are killer. Holy cow, batman! I'm washing mine for the second time today due to all the gushing of stuff. I have four drains...so if one isn't working, I should be ok? Right? My doctor's office is closed and they say if it is an emergency call 911. I don't think an inflated drain is reason for emergency.
Methuen2848 8 Apr 2011
ya putting the compression thing on tighly hurts in the beginning! i had 5 incisions total and one of them leaked for 2 days staight of blood, so i put a hand towell folded up over the bandage, under the compression thing, so the compression thing dosent get too much blood all over it. but it should stop leaking after 2 days max. (what my doc said).

you did the arms too? how bad does that part hurt now? can you do your hair and brush your teeth and such wtihout pain, or does lifing your arms hurt?
Methuen2848 8 Apr 2011
so how did it go? how are you feeling afterwards? i was afraid to get in the shower a day after surgery cause i thought the water streams would hurt me (but they didn't).

good luck!
