Daniel R. Knight, MD

Breast reduction 11/16/20. Could not ask for a better experience. My breast are smaller than I would have said I wanted but they are the perfect size and the right choice! Dr. Knight clearly has a great eye for what is proportional for my body. My scarring is so light even one month out you really have to look to see it. Dr. Knight and Tammy are so professional and courteous. My results are fabulous. I had very little pain post op, mostly what I would describe as discomfort but very easily managed. I have not had a headache, backache or any stiffness in my neck since surgery. The surgery center was great too. I felt like I was in great hands. I could not be happier and my breast look fabulous.

Breast reduction 11/29/2018

After a couple of years I finally convinced myself into getting a breast reduction. I was very nervous initially. I am a registered nurse but it’s different being on the “other side”. I watched a lot of YouTube videos to prepare myself. And I stalked this app. I am very pleased with my results.

I had my sutures removed on Monday, 12-10-18. I still have some swelling, however I feel amazing. I’m not a back sleeper, so it’s been difficult getting comfortable at night. I still have a little soreness in the mornings, but once I start my day it goes away. I do not use any creams or oils and I haven’t had any itching whatsoever. I only had to take prescription pain medications for 2 days post op. My recovery has been great.

Dr. Knight is very honest and realistic about any procedure that you may be looking into (breast reduction, lipo, tummy tuck etc.) I had a breast reduction 11/29/18. I’ve been self conscious about scarring my entire life. However, the scarring from my BR will not be noticeable once they completely heal. My nipples and placement look amazing and my recovery has been a breeze. I would definitely recommend Dr. Knight. His coordinator is the best. The surgery staff A-1. I’m very pleased. 5 stars.

Hi
I am a 36 y/o Mom of 3.
I have severe diastasis recti from having larger babies. I have followed a low carb lifestyle but never lose the pooch that makes me look preggers.
I am 2 days post op. The pain was worse the day of surgery. The recliner & walker are life savers!

He is very kind and has great bed side manner he answers all my questions and is very thorough.. he has done my breast lift and implant and a tummy tuck with implant exchange and i would personally recommend him to anyone who asks.. he’s a great surgeon with a lot of experience

Hello, I'm 44 years old. I have big breast all my life. I've tried to just deal with it, but I've had to go to pain management for the pain. I've also had to have facet injections in my neck, boy were they painful. I'm a little apprehensive about Friday, but I can't wait to live. My breasts have cause me so much pain and discomfort. I will post before and after pictures. Pray for me you guys. I'll keep you all posted.

Ok ladies, I had my BR performed this morning at 6:30am. I was completed by 9:30am. I do not remember going to sleep, I remember the nurse waking me up asking if I wanted some ice chips. At the time the only discomfort I felt was a sore throats and a persistent cough from the breathing tube inserted before surgery and burning from the Lidocaine. It's 1:53am Saturday morning and I'm only up because I check my bandages for bleed through and to take my medicine q4h to say ahead of the pain. As soon as I figure out how to save my pics to google drive and download them to my iPad I will post my pre, after surgery bandaged,and Monday I go and get the bandages removed. In all he removed seven pounds (a healthy newborn) from my chest).

My motivation for getting this surgery was the fact that my oversized breast were Extremely! Heavy and uncomfortable. The pros of getting this surgery were that I could actually wear a bra and be comfortable and Not have the bra strap eat into my shoulders. No Cons! Dr. Knight was very helpful and made me feel comfortable with my decision. He worked expeditiously to get my surgery scheduled. He allowed me to keep before and after pictures of my breast. I would refer others to him. He was great!

Hey ladies just decided to share my story as reading everyone else's really help me !!! I turned 40 oct 14 and felt it was time to make a few changes . I found out I had breast tissue in my armpits that I have had since I breastfeed 19 years ago and I wanted it gone it was horrible to look at ! Also my boobs were a little flat so I needed a pick me up!! And then I had lipo on my stomach flanks and saddlebags ! Pretty much a mid life makeover lol ! I have never had any surgery and I was scared to death. I would like to say that Dr. Knight and his staff were great !!!!! I felt so comfortable with everyone . The first three days were pretty rough I don't want to sugar coat it !!! But after that each day keeps getting better and better!!! I am 5 days post op and still score but moving around !!! I think I am going to feel really good that I had this all done at once I for it over with !!!! I think I ended up with 440 over the muscle and they look great !!!

Things are going good ! My right boob feels airflow hard and kinda heavy not sure why ? Has anyone had this I trying to rub more hoping it will go away

I had a tummy tuck over a year ago and just wanted to tell people what recovery was like for those who may be thinking about having one done.

First off, I am extremely happy that I had it done. It has been over a year since I had it done. The recovery was a little rough though. The pain wasn't too bad untill I had to cough or if I laughed. Using those abdomen muscles during recovery hurts a lot. So make sure you don't have a cough and tell everyone not to make you laugh. I slept in a recliner for the first week which was a smart idea. I had to have help going to the bathroom for about a week. My parents stayed with me the whole time. I was wrapped up pretty good and going to the bathroom was difficult, but I found an easy way to do number one. Go in a cup over the toilet so you don't have to sit all the way down. Probably be best not even doing number two for a week. I actually didn't, but when I could sit down better, etc, I took a laxative and did number 2. The compression garment is like very tight capris with the private parts cut out so you don't have to take it off when you go to the restroom.

I do remember this one day when it was time to take my bandages off per the doctor's request. My mom did it for me and while she was taking them off I saw myself in the mirror accidentally practically cut in half with stitches and I almost fainted. I had to sit down right then and mom put a fan on me and brought me some water. If I hadn't told her that I was about the faint, I would have been on the floor and passed out. That wouldn't have been good. So, if you have a weak stomach about those things, don't look when you take of your bandages for the first time. I have a very weak stomach when it comes to things like that especially when it's on me.

I had either one or two drains, can't remember, and my mom removed them and it didn't hurt at all.

Also, you will not be able to stand up straight for a few days and you will need to walk some just to help the circulation. Make sure you have someone helping you.

Anyway, I was back to work in about 2 1/2 weeks. No heavy lifting.

My scar is a little crooked but overall, I am extremely happy I did it! The first few days you will probably be thinking why did I do this and I was, but again, it's worth it.

I've had a tummy tuck, thigh lift, partial lower body lift, breast lift, and arm lift and I have to say that the tummy tuck was the most painful during recovery, but the pain wasn't all the time, just when I did certain things like cough or laugh.

Feel free to ask any questions.

I also wanted to add that it has been over a year and I am still numb in the abdomen below the belly button. I'm not sure if the feeling will ever come back. It may has a little bit but not much. I just feel like there's a small brick laying there but not painful.

Updated on 27 Oct 2013:
Here's the pic of my TT from over a year ago. I think the belly button looks petty good. That black mark above my belly button is the marker from my breast lift. Haven't scrubbed it off yet.

Hi everyone!!!
Ok so I'll get right too it...I've been considering a breast reduction for quite sometime now..I'd say its been about 3 years. I've always had bigger boobs than everyone I was around. I started noticing that my boobs were huge when I was in 7th grade : /

Well I went to my primary doctor's office in January complaining of back and neck problems. I would take aspirin almost everyday to alleviate the pain she said that was no good and gave me a prescription for pain and after seeing the bruises on my shoulders from my bra she also recommend a breast reduction. She sent me off to get some lab work and some x-rays done. Fast forward to April 9th, 2013 I had a consultation with a plastic surgeon. He was very nice and it was very quick. He took a look at my boobs and measured them and also took pictures for insurance purposes. I am looking to get this covered by united healthcare. I asked him during the consultation if my primary care doctor needed to write a letter (when I had my appointment with my Primary doc she said she would write up whatever she needed bc she felt this was best for me) to my insurance and he said no he's more than sure it will get approved so that REALLY excited me. He said that he's looking to take me down to a small D or a large C :))))) (I am a 38 G right now) I'm get so excited just thinking about it. No one understands unless they have big boobs as well...going to the gym SUCKS...I have to wear 2 bras just so I can run! I CANNOT wait for them to be GONE FOR GOOD!!!

So now i'm pretty much just playing the waiting game hoping to hear back from the insurance ASAP!!! To kill time I'm pretty much on this website EVERY DAY! It's getting pretty obsessive lol I'm learning soooo much on here! Kind of nervous about the scars but almost every post I've looked at has said it's TOTALLY worth it. Well i'm gonna try to upload some pics and I'll keep you guys updated on my progress.



Updated on 24 Apr 2013:
Well you guys...I'm still playing the waiting game which really sucks and getting on here everyday makes me even more anxious lol I've seen some people say United Healthcare takes a while and then some say that it only takes a couple weeks. I had my consultation on April 9th so I guess it hasn't been that long and I need to get a little more patience. I called the insurance company yesterday and they told me that my case was still pending : / I'll keep you guys updated!!

:(((((((
I FINALLY heard some news today in reguards to getting approved for my surgery. I called my plastic surgeons office to see if they had heard anything and they told me I was denied!!!!! Worst news ever!
I'm kinda ticked off for a couple of reasons.

#1- WHY did I have to call the surgeons office to find that out?? They should have called me the second they got word!!!

#2- So of course I called the insuance company to see why I got denied and when I found out why it made me even MORE frustrated!!! I got denied because the surgeons office did not add in the letter the things that I am unable to do due to my large breast and that is one of the requirements for my insurance!!!!! How could they leave that out???? I'm so mad the lady I was speaking with was really helpful and she said that that was the only reason I was denied and that I should file an appeal and have them include the list and everything should be fine from there. That kind of gave me a little bit of relief but STILL!!! UGHHH now they have set me back at least another month. : /

Ok I'm done ranting because God has been far too good to me for me to be pounting about this when all its gonna take is a little extra time! lol Besides I wont be able to have my surgery until July or August because I have a couple trips planned. (Trying to be postitve lol) As soon as the surgeons office gets the denial letter she said she is going to do the appeal and send off what they need! Well I hope you guys are having a great day!!!

P.S. How could they forget to add that in my letter??? Geeezzzzzz!!!!

Updated on 1 Jul 2013:
HI GUYS!!!! I finally got approved!!!!!!! Yayyyyyyy!! It came at such good timing I'm on vacation in Los Angeles and I found out we got the letter today!!! Calling tomorrow to set a date!!!!!

Updated on 9 Jul 2013:
So the plastic surgeons office called this morning to give me a quote and it turns out I have to pay $1,100 out of pocket. I know that pay not seem like much to you guys but I'm a college student and I currently don't have a job. The job market where I live really sucks. I have to pay at least half of that to even set a date! I feel super blessed that my insurance even covered it and now I'm so sad because I'm not sure how I will come up with this money. I will keep praying about it and hopefully I will receive a blessing soon!! I just have to keep the faith! I'm holding back tears as I type this because this is something I've wanted for so long and now that I have the chance I may not be able to move forward. My insurance is giving me 90 days to get the procedure done so hopefully I will have a job before then. Sorry I just had to vent lol

Well I hope everyone has a great day! Hopefully in my next post I will be telling you guys how I set my date!

Updated on 9 Jul 2013:
My mom and dad are going to pay for it for me! I'm so independent and did not want to ask for their help but they thought it was foolish that I did not ask in the first place lol
I'll post the surgery date soon!! Eiikkkk!! :)

Updated on 9 Jul 2013:
I don't know why I didn't post this with my last post but here are my HUGE boobs that I can't wait to get rid of!!!!!!! I was so scared to post this picture but I figured what the heck....we're all like family right? lol

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Updated on 9 Jul 2013:
Sorry I know I'm posting a lot today but I was just browsing around the website as I normally do and I found some very disturbing news on the plastic surgeon that is supposed to be doing my reduction. Here is what she posted:

"Dr. Daniel R Knight performed breast reduction on me several years ago and now I'm thinking it wasn't the right thing to do or should I say the wrong doctor to go to to have the procedure done. The procedure was much needed because my breast were very large and caused me back problems. Since the procedure my breast now is VERY uneven; one is up higher than the other (much noticable and one aerola is much larger than the other). Right after the surgery I was happy to have had it done thinking I could now wear blouses if I wanted without worrying about a bra, like spaghetting strap blouses but I CAN NOT wear this due to the fact I look like a freak under my clothes. I am now wanting and feeling like I'm needing to go to have my breast fixed by another physician from this mess! I'm even embarrassed to take my clothes off in front of my husband. I'm thinking having the larger breast wasn't so bad after all because now I'm really scarred for life because he really messed my breast up and I am totally NOT satisfied with the results!! I know this was a breast reduction to reduce the breast due to back problems, etc., and not cosmetic but at least it could've been done in better quality and not a botched up job! Now I feel worse about myself before the surgery was done."

This is scaring the crap out of me!!! I have so many questions now!! Should I bring this up to the doctor? Should I get another surgeon???? I know everyone isn't the same but I'm not so sure about this anymore. HELP!!!

Updated on 8 Aug 2013:
MY DATE IS SET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hallelujah!!! I scheduled my surgery today for September 24th!!! My pre-op appointment is September 16th at 9:00!!! I am BEYOND excited!!!! I think I will bring pictures to my pre-op appointment so I can show to surgeon how I would like my boobs to look like!

Anybody have any advice on what to do during the days leading up to my surgery? I've already been taking vitamin C 500 mg (one when I wake up and one at night to promote healthy immune function) any other tips would be GREAT!!! Hope everyone is doing well!! I'll post soon!!

Updated on 21 Aug 2013:
My surgery will now be on September 17th!!!! Whoooo hooooo!!!!! Pre-op is still on the September 16th. I'll go in and they'll run test and I'll ask my last minute questions and what not! SUPER EXCITED! I feel so blessed. I need to start surgery shopping ahhhhhhh!!!

Updated on 28 Aug 2013:
OMG! The days are flying by!! The 17th will be here before I know it! The closer the day gets the more I get on here reading EVERYTHING lol Since I've started this journey I have lost 26 pounds and I will continue to lose after my surgery (I'm super excited about that). I've been eating clean and going to the gym at least 4 times a week. I feel like I will be in very good condition going into my surgery, so that eases my worries a little. I spoke with my surgeon's nurse today and she let me know they will be giving me Loratab 10's for my pain. She also told me that I will need to bathe with hibi clense soap (that I can pick up at a pharmacy) the night before the surgery as well as after the surgery, and that I will need sports bras that hook in the front. She's going to give me one when I go for my pre-op but I want to make sure I have several of them. I will be off of work for 10 days. I'm a dispatcher so I am sitting down all day so I shouldn't have many problems when I start back working! I'm in graduate school as well working on my masters and I let my teachers know that I will be out for 10 days due to surgery and they were all very supportive!

Well I'm done rambling lol....just wanted to update y'all!! :)

Updated on 9 Sep 2013:
Whooo hoooooo!! This time next week I'll finished with my pre-op appointment. Getting more and more nervous about the surgery. I've had thoughts about backing out but I've come to far too back out now!!! Hopefully these next few days will FLY by! I'm ready to get it over with before I talk myself out of it lol
Just wanted to update you guys! Hope all is well!

Updated on 16 Sep 2013:
I got some lab work done and I found out that my doctor does not want me to ice and I will not have drains YAYYYYY!! I have to be at the surgery center at 6:30 tomorrow morning. He's gonna get started at 7:30 and said it should take about 3 hours!! Whooooooooppp! I am so excited you guys don't even understand. I've been waiting for this FOREVER and it's finally happening!! OMG!
The nurse told me I will be wrapped in a big bandage and I had to get some maxi pads to place over the incisions. She told me believe or not those really help with the absorption of the drainage. Oh, I almost forgot I spoke with my doctor and he said he's gonna take me down to a full C! :)

Well I hope everyone is having a great day!! I'm sure I'll update tonight because I'll be too excited to sleep haha

Wells guys I just took my shower with the hibiclens and now I'm waiting on my boyfriend and mom to get here so we can head to the hospital!! I can't believe the day is finally here!! WOW!!!! I'm praying everything goes fine, actually I know it will :)

I'll update when I'm on the other side!!!!! :))

Updated on 17 Sep 2013:
Hi!! Just wanted to let y'all know I made it through!! In pain and kinda out of it but they are so small!!!! OMG will give full details when Im able to stay up lol

Updated on 19 Sep 2013:
Hi guys!!! Ok so I'm finally able to properly update you guys. lol
The morning of my surgery I woke up and took one last shower with the hibiclens soap as I was instructed. I got to the hospital at 6:30 and the had me go ahead and change and they started an IV. One thing that I did not like was that they did not tell me to make sure I don't go to the bathroom that morning so I could go when I got there. They needed it to do a pregnancy test. Well of course I didn't have to go so they had to use a catheter UGH!!! I was so upset about that I actually asked the nurse why did they not tell me this the day before and I would have not gone to the restroom that morning. So anyway after that whole ordeal he doctor came and marked me up. (So sad I didn't get any pics of that) Right after that they gave me a sedative in my IV to make me relax and that's like the last thing I remember. lol I barely remember being wheeled back into the OR. It's all a blur now.

Next thing I knew I was waking up and they were telling me I was done and everything went well. I was in recovery for about a hour or 2 and then they discharged me. I didn't have any pain when I woke up I was just really queazy! The doc had me wrapped in an ace bandange so I couldn't see the girls until the next day when I had to go back in. When I got home from surgery I pretty much slept the WHOLE day lol Now the 2nd day is another story.

Yesterday was pretty much hell for me. I wasn't in pain I was just REALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY sore! I almost passed out twice yesterday. My mom and granny think it may be from the loratabs. I'm pretty sure they make me feel all yucky! I finally got to look at the girls at my first post op appointment and they look GREAT!!!!! I SERIOUSLY COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!!!! Looking at them for the first time makes this pain all worth it!!!!! :))))

I have been sleeping off and on throughout the day. I'm taking naps at random times lol Sleeping on the recliner hasn't been as bad as I thought it was going to be thanks to my handy dandy wedge pillow!!! I try to get up ever couple of hours to walk around. My doctor says that this is to prevent blood clots. Today is day 3 post-op and I feel better than yesterday!! Whoo hooo! I got up and walked around a little this morning which felt good. I'm pretty sure this is normal but it feels like my incisions are stinging and burning. Weird! My chest feels really tight like its gonna pop and my boobs are really hard but they said this is all normal. My post-op went really well. He took off the big ace bandage and put me into my sports bra which was too big luckily they had a smaller one on had.

I know I was probably rambling but I was just typing everything as it came to my mind lol Oh yeaaa the doctor also told me I could shower today but I am sooooo scared!! I don't want to mess them up or anything nor do I want to be in pain! Today my mom went back to work but she's only going for a half a day and when she gets home in a little bit we're gonna try this whole shower thing. : / My boyfriend and friends have been GREAT! Thanks to them this process has been going smooth so far.

Well I just wanted to update you guys before I forgot anything!! I hope everyone is doing well!!! Also, thank you guys soooooooo much for all the comments. You have no idea how that can brighten someone's day! Yall are the best!!!

Updated on 19 Sep 2013:
Doc says they have to drop and they will round out more. Will went up being a full C! :)

Updated on 21 Sep 2013:
So its 5 in the morning and I am wide awake lol My sleeping is so backwards!! I slept from 5pm until about 1am. I gotta get it back on track. So I've completely stopped taking the Loratabs and I am just taking tylonol because they make me sick and give me headaches like crazy : / The tylonol seems to be working just fine for me so that's a plus. I have very minimal pain just soreness, I have no bruising, and a little bit of stiffness (mostly in my back because I've been sleeping the the recliner). I can tell I'm able to do more and more each day!! Yayy! Still taking it easy and resting most of the day. Tomorrow I plan to wash my hair (well have my mom wash my hair lol) and get some homework done. My boobs look GREAT by the way!!!!!! I am seriously in love and could not be happier! I'm still praying for a smooth recovery even tho I'm starting to feel better. Oh and before I forget im pretty sure I've been getting those zingers I've seen everyone talking about. They're not bad for me at all just feels a little weird. I've also had little to no bleeding or drainage!! Whooo hoooo! I really took care of myself during the months leading up to my surgery so maybe that's why I'm having such a good recovery. I hope I'm not speaking too soon lol

Well that's my update for now! Hope all is well with everyone!! Did I mention I LOVE my new boobs?? Haha :))

Updated on 22 Sep 2013:
I had my first outing today. I went to the grocery store and over a friends house and boy was I tired. We were in the store for all of 15 minutes and I was ready to sit down. This is crazy!! I am soooooo ready to be back to 100%!! I hate feeling weak and tired. I'm also ready to start exercising again!! Hurry up 6 weeks!!!!! Towards the end of the day I started getting super sore. When we got home my boyfriend put neosporin on all my incisions and we padded my sports bra with maxi pads and now I feel much better. I've been trying to go without pain meds but I think I will have to take one tonight!! I'm also ready start getting a good nights sleep again!! Ugh

Updated on 27 Sep 2013:
Hi guys!! So I'm finally 10 days post-op and the time has NOT flown by lol I went to my post-op appointment yesterday and I had to get some stitches removed! OUCH! The doc said that everything looked really good and reminded me to do no strenuous work yet!

Everyday I can tell that I am getting better and better. Today was a good day and I haven't felt any soreness or pain!! The girls are still a little swollen so hopefully that will go down within the next week. I'm ready for them take their final shape because they still look boxy to me!! I also start back working tomorrow so I'm ready to see how tomorrow will go.

Well that's all I have for now. Until next time!!

Updated on 30 Sep 2013:

Whoo hoo! I still could not be happier that I've had this done!!!!!!

Hi guys!! Today I am one month post op and cannot believe it! Time has flown by soooo fast!! I feel better than ever. I worked out today and did kickboxing and I felt great! Just wanted to update yall real quick!!! Hope all is well!!!!

Well I've been reading everybody post everyday all day and all night..from my phone to my computer...love seeing the positive results, the unsure of progress, and excitement of yall journey. So let me give you a little insight of me..well I'm a mother of 5 beautiful children, married to the most supportive husband of 12 years 5"11 245 lbs (carry well sometimes..lol)...I have a good life, can't complain..me and my husband enjoy life to the fullness. We take a separate vacation from the kids so that we can enjoy our private times. We started talking about this procedures for over 2 years now. I was surprised how supportive he has been but then again, nothing surprieses me when it comes to him. He always put me first, regardless...and I truly love him for that...So over the years, I've gain/loss weight but no matter how hard I did cardio workout, I couldn't shed the tummy. So it was my hubby that suggested this procedure. After so much research and going to a consultation, I was like "hell yes".. It so depressing to want to look your best but have a body that doesn't..so WE are going for it...Yep..and I'm scared shitless..lol..I haven't brought any new clothes within the last 2 months...I'm saving all of my shopping for our vacation in June.

This website has been so helpful with all the questions and concerns...I'm 48 hrs away from this life changing event and I'M READY...

Well I went to my first post op and I got my drains out. I will get my stitches out on Monday. I could have gotta get them on this coming Thursday but the drive is 2 hrs n some change. So monday it is. I slept on my side last night and have a wonderful shower. The other thang is soreness but once I walk around im good. Just get tried. Ready for my energy back. I went back to work yesterday but I only worked half a day n I work from home so its manageable. My husband has been my number 1 supportive. I tried on a sexy teddy for him this morning. ..he likes it..he likes it..lol. I will post pics later today. Crazy thang I cant load from my phone. But yall need to see an update. .im so happy...

Well this weekend has been ok. I got out a couple of times and enjoyed the family. Still trying to find that good sleep position but overall I'm ok. Tried on a new dress that was pre TT and it looks really good on me. I'm trying to wait and be patient with the results but I know that it takes time. The swelling is the worst part of waiting. I go to the dr tomorrow to have my staples removed. I've been having some drainage in one area so I don't think that he will removal all of them which is fine. I go on vacation in June and I'm ready...Overall, I'm still happy with my results being week 2 since my surgery. Thanks for all the comments. I feels great to have such a nice and wonderful TT family on your side...Til next week..Oh I did update one pic. Next week, I 'm going up with clothes on...lol Peace :)

Hello my tt ladies. .life has been good..no complications. My only down is this swelling. .its crazy. What bothers me the most is the swelling under my breast? I hate it.. can I liposuction that? Lol. I had alot my swelling around my scar n the reason for that was my intake of powerade n garadae. Yall they are full of sodium so no more of them. I was drinking them (32 oz) 3 or 4 a day..just killing myself with sodium. Lol.

I went to a party last Saturday. Didnt dance just chilled at the bar but I must say I was stunning in my dress that wad a xlarge instead of 1 xlarge. .man it felt good to see how my husband was checking me out.

I still get tried n I listen to my body..when I get that tightness. .I go n chill. I want a full recovery.

How long for you see the results of liposuction? I think I need more..lol. .

When back to work I go..I will up load a pic now

Kisses...

Well ladies, this lady here is very happy with my progress. It's a patience process but I'm 150% in. I've been walking 2 miles everyday ( I'm headed when I'm finished with this), watching what I eat (haven't had sodas in 3 weeks), and just enjoying LIFE. The support that I get from my husband is unbelieveable. I know that I bugs him by constantly asking "Do you see a difference today"? lol..He's such a team player. I go for my 1 month post op (more like a month and 3 days) later next week and I'm excited to talk with my PS. My energy level is coming up. But I do listen to my body...I sit down and rest when I know that I'm pushing it...I'm sleeping great on both sides and through out the night. Well, I'm going to update a new pic. Enjoy and thanks for all the support...Kisses

This week has been uneventful. I workout everyday with my 2 miles walk. I go to the PS next week, hopefully I can start with Zumba. I really want to use a personal trainer to get in better shape but I will be patience. I've brought another CG, from large to medium so that's good. I really don't have must to update. I'm ready for lose more weight. So enjoy your day and your flat tummy..

I know it's been a while since I've updated but things are going great. My belly surroundings are still numb. I just came back from vacation and I experienced some swelling and pains from the all day activites that I endure for 8 days all day and all night...but I enjoyed myself. I went from a xl to large in dress. I was working out but I kind of lack off a bit with working but I plan on getting back on it. My husband is still supportive and loving this body everyday...I will post pic with this post.. Love!!!
