After deciding to get my life back on track. spent 6 days a week in the gym, eating right, walking. I went from 340 lbs to 245 Ibs. Once the weight started coming off the skin just kept hanging. No, matter how hard I tried I couldn't tighten the skin. And I don't care who tells you otherwise, you can't tight skin after a large weight loss. I finally decided to get rid of my access skin. I only got 2 opinions and went with Dr. Page immediately. I liked the way she performs her breast reduction. Instead of cutting under the chest, she cuts on the side. Dr. Page has a great calm and nice personality. I never felt like it was anything to worry about at all. She has a wonderful bedside manner and listens and answers all questions. I had a tummy tuck, Liposuction on the chest and Flanks, and a breast reduction. The surgery took a whopping 6.5 hours. When I came out of surgery I was all wrapped up and felt very nausea. I felt like I was hit by an 18 wheeler truck. Lots of pain and I just wanted to sleep. Day 2, wasn't much better but the nauseous went away. AND wonder WHY the hell did I do this. Day 3: I was a little better not by much but still wasn't sure of my decision. The doctors office said I could shower on day 3. But that sure as hell wasn't happening. Day 4: A wasn't able to walk around very much and still in pain. Day 5: Starting to see the light. I was able to walk a little better. The pain was still there. Day 6 and 7: Was great I was walking around. I went to the store and finally unwrap the dressing and seen the results. AND WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE. The swelling is still crazy but that is to be expected for the next months.
