Here's my most recent picture of my scar and belly. I'm thinking this are looking good? I'm still swollen in the middle. I took some time off from working out in the last month, now I'm getting back into it again. I think it was good to take a break to heal a little more. I feel like I put on an extra layer of blubber everywhere but when I went to Zumba class yesterday I felt I could do 99% of the moves. That wasn't the case by end of January. Now I guess the forward progress is to to me. I'm setting some personal goals and moving on.

This was our bear mountain hike where I referenced my calories burned and the crazy elevation changes above. This was tough!

My first experience with Dr. Ness and his PC Michaela was in November 2012 and I was scheduled in January 2013 for surgery. I had to cancel because I changed jobs. I had researched Dr. Ness and his private practice was opened around 2011 but he had been practicing and well respected in his field for quite some time. When we had our consultation we just clicked. When he marked me for my surgery I admired his artistry. Pro's He requires no consultation fee which I think is great. If you live more in Central MN vs. Twin Cities You can have all of your consults/follow-up visits at St Cloud office The Surgery Center at West Health Michaela makes the experience. You can text her anytime day or night with questions. She responds back quickly. When you have your drain she checks in with you every day. She made herself available at 7 pm just to remove my drain after I got back from my CA trip. Follow ups are easy and a breeze Your post op compression garment and the next step garment are included in the price. Only thing you pay for afterward is your oleeva scar shape $100 Cons If your from out of town, you need to stay overnight in a hotel to have your 24 hour follow up. It's definitely not as comfortable but the Residence Inn close by has a kitchen and a little more like home. Dr. Ness wasn't there after surgery just the west health staff. Michaela checked in there after. You don't get a lot of time with him but he is good at the important part, surgery and a good result.
