My experience was amazing. I was concerned about not taking any narcotics due to my recovery from alcoholism. I had a little pain the second day, I only took extra strength Tylenol from day two to day 7. After that I had no pain. I felt amazing and started walking on day 7. I feel better about myself, have more energy, and am enjoying my 50's! I just love my choice to have the surgery. I went from a size 14 to a size 8. (it did take about 6 weeks to loose the "saline" weight.

Great review?

I wish there were more starts. Dr. Elam was referred to me by my next door neighbor, who has had surgery as well. I went from a size 14 to an 8.

Dr. Elam, I wish I would have "spell checked". I meant to write "I wish the rating had more STARS"
