Lower Body Lift, Lipo Breast Lift with Implants, NO Pain All GAIN! - Houston, TX

It seems like it took only a few weeks. It was hard to tell because I was so much smaller coming out than going in. After by weight reduction surgery and loss of 120lbs, I was a comfortable size 10. This last week I bought a very elegant designer gowan that was a size 4!!!! That extra skin adds a lot to the tape measure and just the way you look. I would say that by week 5-6 I felt that I was 100%, but as time went on I just got stronger. When you get home...walk, walk, walk and not just around the house, go outside and walk.Take you protein suppliments and eat better than you ever have in your entire life and don't forget those pre/post surgery vitamins! It is just so important.You should be doing some form of exercise prior to the surgery, muscles have memory and will get back to healthy faster. I was anxious to get out and get going after surgery and that is probably the hardest part is staying down at home long enough to actually fully recover. I just felt so good I just wanted to get out and going. Besure and get 2 post surgery garments, so one can be washing and one wearing.I lived in work out clothes during that time, but WOW the flat tummy is amazing. You are going to do beautifully and have the body you dreamed of!!

I might have been the exception, but the pain was minimal. The pain pump in the hospital really helped get me on my way. You just need to make yourself get up and get walking as soon as possible. I actually encouraged the nurses to help me get moving. The more you move/walk the hallways, the less time you have for soreness to set in. It has to be mind over matter. And remember what you fear will manifest, so focus on it being easy and pain free. I only took the pain meds at home if I could not relax or over did. You are going to do beautifully. Dr. LoMonaco is very gentle. It will be the best thing you ever do for yourself. Let me know your progress. I am sending you light and love.
