One Year Update

WORTH IT$7,000
Hello,
Sorry i've been MIA, but I wanted to share some pics. and provide everyone with a one year update of my body. Well, for starters, I am at 100 percent and have been since my 6 month mark. I am very active, I can sit for long hours without any pain, and I'm not exhausted for no reason and most importantly, I am no longer dependent on my boppie pillow. In addition to my surgery, I do a lot of butt exercises that include, weighted squats, lunges, kick backs and dead lifts. The only issue or concern that I have, is that I have those ugly spots on my sides and legs that were entry points to remove the fat. Other than that, I do not have another other significant updates. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Oh I would be remised if I did not give a shout out to Dr. James Benjamin as he did an awesome job. One year out, I am more than pleased with my results. So much so, that I will not be going for another round. I cannot express enough how awesome his bedside manners were. Kudos

Hey ladies,

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Just wanted to drop in and update my 4 1/2 week mark. I am absolutely loving my improved behind and so happy and please with my PS. Every flaw that I had, has been successfully fixed. I am so happy that I did not waste a whole lot of unnecessary money flying around and out of the country just to have surgery. My PS is more than qualified and I am so pleased with my results. He did exactly what I asked of him. I have been back to work for one week now and let's just say that was one tough week. My butt was killing me by mid day. Also, when I returned home from work, all I could do was shower and go to bed. Since having this surgery, I get tired really fast. As I stated in my last update, I have resumed my normal activities. I even sat through a 3 hour movie even though I had to constantly switch positions throughout the movie. Other than that, I'm loving how i'm looking in and out of clothes. I almost ventured downtown to the inauguration today but I didn't want to chance it as I get really tired really fast. I will try to update pics when I get to a computer. In the meantime, can someone please tell me how to upload pics from your phone?

Thanks ladies and happy healing.

I know you were skeptical about those hips. but just from reading other people's post, I knew that eventually it will be okay. the body changes so much during this process. I am glad that you're in love with it. I pray I have the same experience.

Two week progress:

Sleeping longer at night (last night I woke up twice as opposed to every 1 1/2 to 2 hrs);
Started light workouts (30 minutes on elliptical in ten minute increments and upper body strength training);
Started sitting with boppy pillow (It is my intent to make it to the Redskin championship game tomorrow);
Able to dress and undress without any assistance (this includes taking on and off my garment);
Napping during the day are few and far;
Able to drive with ease;
Walking faster and going up and down the stairs with ease;
Lower back pain has subsided significantly; and
Hubby and I finally got frisky, LOL

THanks :) As you can see from my update, I am almost back to normal. With the exception of tiring very easily and not be able to sit and lay down in certain positions for long periods of time, I'm almost back in business.

Wow! You look great! Did you have drains put in? I looked at the Q & A for the doctors on this site and they say that it is not necessary. My doctor does not use them so I was wondering...
User Avatar

Thanks, No he did not put drains in as he said they were not necessary. I'm so glad he didn't because I had them with my TT and they drove me crazy.
