I'm 39 yrs old, with 4 kids and 6month old grandson. I've had wieght issues my whole life. I lost close to 100lbs 3 yrs ago and give or take 20 lbs i've kept it off
I have been checking out doctors for two years. I search top ten PS in OH and R Michael Johnson came up. He's the PS Associate Professor for Wright State Physicians. So I went with him and saved a little money. I hope!
I'm going with silicone gel w/out a lift. I'm so scared to have the snoopy

PO DAy 12 My progress was going just fine untill two days ago.
I tryed to get out of my chair and i thought i popped a stitch. So i decieded
to kind of suck in so that the scar tissue stays together. The next day was the worst. I'm literly back to square one.
Today I feel like I did the day of surgery. I hope I haven't messed anything up. My sis is only in town for 2 1/2 more days. I have completly relied on her. I'm scared. I'm already starting to miiss her.

Great review?

I hope you are feeling better today. If you aren't feeling any better you may want to contact your docs office and tell them what happened so they can make a decison on your progress and setback? I know your sister is leaving in a day so I sure hope you have improved. Keep us posted on your recovery, happy healing!

I hope you are doing okay. Did you go back to the doctors? That sounds terribly scary.

I used the liquid Magnesium Citrate available OTC at pretty much any store. It honestly helped loosen things up, my recommendation is to start with 3oz and stay close to the bathroom. Your results look great! I wouldn't worry about "blowing a stitch", my PS said that they usually use Tykron which is stronger than steel, I have coughed, laughed and had my first sneeze today and OWIEEE! Good luck and keep us posted.

Wow you look great just 2 days post op and you can already see a difference....what was your height and weight prior to surgery?
  • Reply

You and I are the same height and size, I kinda guessed based on your pics. You can already see a huge difference. I'll be following your journey and anxious to see if this surgery helps me with losing additional weight.
