I cannot speak more highly of the experience I had getting breast reduction surgery with Dr. Dawson. I was referred to Dr. Dawson by my primary care provider after I complained about back/shoulder pain. Dr. Dawson is efficient and to the point. He answers all of your questions from first consult to last follow up. He is very good at his job and I am left with very minimal scarring. I was very nervous about making a decision that would leave me a size I wouldn't be happy with. Especially the day of surgery, which is when we talked about expectations of what the results would be. He knew exactly what size would fit and be proportional to my body, I didn't even have to worry. I am 5,4, just over 160lbs and went from 38ddd/f/g to a comfortable 36d/full c. The GW outpatient surgery center staff did an excellent job getting me prepared for surgery until Dr. Dawson arrived. I couldn't be more thrilled with the results, even just shy of one month post-op. If you are debating breast reduction surgery in the DMV area, I highly encourage you to go talk to Dr. Dawson, you probably won't regret it and they will work with you to get it covered by insurance if that's an option. Interacting with Dr. Dawson's office was nothing short of a joy. Dannette was assigned to my case and she went above and beyond to work with insurance, to coordinate the preop appointments, the surgery date and all the post ops. There was so much back and forth with different offices and doctors and every time something came up she said no problem and made it happen. She made sure I was taken care of every step of the way. She is super responsive to all your questions and is very reliable. She knows that your surgery may be more than just about the physical changes and will be in your corner every step of the way.
I have been seeing Dr Dawson for years and he is always up front and Blount his bedside manner is great I've had several cosmetic surgery with him from a breast reduction that i finally got after my last child as well as tummy tuck, upper and lower back life and a thigh lift that all went well my scars healed very well
I promised myself after losing 65lbs if I could maintain my weight or over a yet iWorks look into having my "apron" removed. I'm scheduled for a skin only TT April 30 and I'm super excited. It'll be nice to buy petite tops (I'm 5'1" and wear size 2 jeans) that don't have to come down to cover my apron. Updated on 13 Feb 2023: After initially having surgery scheduled with another provider in 2020, for obvious reasons it didn’t happen. I’m now 4 days pre-op with Dr. Dawson whom I scheduled through Sono Bello. I will be having Lipo and “AbEx” skin removal which is basically a tummy tuck without ab muscle repair (diastasis recti), as I don’t have separation. My consultation was with Courtney at the Sono Bello office in Woodbridge. She was friendly and knowledgeable, and got me scheduled out in a little over 2 weeks as there was a cancellation. She worked out the financing part and assured me a refund of my deposit if the pre op appointment didn’t work out. I met with Dr. Dawson for pre-op the dry next morning at Sono Bello’s surgery center in Tyson’s. Nurse Stephanie helped me and answered my questions. She was very sweet and helpful. I’ve been able to text her with questions since the pre op, receiving a text response to answer my question the following day and a phone call the following day to answer and second question. Dr. Dawson is no nonsense but kind and professional. I felt very comfortable discussing the procedure with him and that he was concerned for my health. He had me do another pre op appointment with my primary care physician and all is a go. I’m scared but excited to part with Fupa this Friday. Will post before and afters. Updated on 14 Feb 2023: I’m super excited to have this pain off my back!!! Making final preparations today as I work next couple of days. So ready to feel like a normal person! Updated on 17 Feb 2023: So far so good, surgery was this morning. My nurse Desarae was very sweet. My procedure was at Sono Bello and was performed while I was awake but comfortable. I was numbed in the surgical area which was a bit of a painful process and he had to inject me a lot with numbing fluids. Once I was numb he began Lipo which wasn’t as painful, but was definitely not pleasant and hurt in some places. He then removed my excess skin apron which I felt happening but there wasn’t pain, and him and I talked the whole time. He was very pleasant to talk to during this part. He came back in after I was dressed and joked with me before I left. Overall my experience was positive and I’m moving around surprisingly very well. I’m in bed relaxing for now. Will post yucky surgical pics later! Updated on 18 Feb 2023: Yesterday was ok, drained A LOT, barely draining at all today. Doc says I can shower tomorrow! Not too bad. Pain level is pretty manageable. I’m VERY swollen. Here are surgery day pics. Warning graphic! Updated on 21 Feb 2023: Feeling so much better! Day one and two were rough, however, I haven’t needed any pain medicine since 11 PM on day two. Day 3 I got to ride around in the car most of the day with my husband and enjoy the sun. The seat in my car is the most comfortable place for me to sit. I was able to get something to eat and go for a little walk at a local park before I got worn out and had to go home . Day four was even better. I did lots of walking at a local national park and have been able to lay down a lot more comfortably. The compression garment has been very uncomfortable. I got a call from a nurse yesterday while I was out walking and she informed me I can wear a Cami under my garment to make it more comfortable, which it definitely does. I also added some Lipo foam to keep it from cutting into my sides, which is awesome more comfortable, but makes me look like a potato. I found a squishy spot that makes funny fart noises and the nurse told me that was a seroma, and wanted me to add extra compression to that spot to see if my body will absorb it until I come in for my postop Saturday. If it’s still there, the doctor will pull the fluid out with a needle. Yuck. I am still very swollen and very bruised and a little weirded out by my figure, but relieved I don’t have an apron anymore. Here is a pic from right before my first shower. Updated on 22 Feb 2023: Drove yesterday and did light shopping alone! What a relief! Running errands today and back to work tomorrow. It seemed impossible a few days ago but I’m ready (and bored). They weren’t kidding about the low downtime. Here’s my 5 day post op pics. Still feel very swollen and I have a sore spot that’s a little red on my left hip. Going to pay attention to it until my post op Saturday Updated on 23 Mar 2023: Was given the all clear to lift weights and do an exercises :-), was also give scar tape for my incision. Still experiencing some swelling and tingling but only if I’m not compressed for too long. Was told I can compress 12-14 hrs a day vs all the time but I don’t think I will. Been dealing with lumps with self massage and I’m pretty happy so far
I had liposuction on my waist and bra back rolls. I lost 60lbs on my own and by back fat is by far the most stubborn part for me to lose weight. I read mixed reviews about Dr Dawson and one lady’s review sounded like a nightmare and I ended up having a similar experience. Dr Dawson met my expectations as far as my results. I wasn’t expecting a miracle, just to lessen my back rolls. He did that. My issue is his bedside manner. No greeting during the consultation; I was just another item to check off his list for the day. Surgery was a nightmare as the lidocaine took longer than expected to kick in and I felt EVERYTHING for the first half of my surgery. Instead of consoling me he just told me to be quiet and sit still (I was shaking uncontrollably) and I even started crying and he made comments like “you have tattoos so I don’t understand why you’re crying”. When I did my post-op and expressed concerns that my sides were uneven he was very dismissive and it took a complaint with the BBB to get my revision booked. His work is fine but he’s a very condescending doctor. If you don’t care about attitude and just want average results, he’s your guy.
I had lipo and a tummy tuck with Dr. Dawson on 12/29/2022. This review is for Dr. Konrad Dawson, specifically, although the procedure was done at Sono Bello. I continue to have mixed feelings about Sono Bello and will defer a review of the center until this process is complete. But the procedure is known as AbEX with Sono Bello. For the procedure, itself, I was awake the entire time with only Xanax and pain pills until they numbed me internally. I felt each small cut he made to get his tools inside, but it was like a small stinging sensation that quickly passed. The worst part of the procedure was getting the numbing solution in. That took a good bit of time - at least it felt like it did. And it was definitely not pleasant. I was given a stress ball that I squeezed the entire time. Dr. Dawson was very honest at the pre-op meeting in telling me most folks found this part of the procedure the worst, but the pain was bearable. It was the worst. I didn’t feel the need to scream in pain but did grunt and wince quite a bit. I was so confused and it went on so long, I thought he was already doing the lipo. It was only when he finished and the nurse told me they’d leave me to allow the solution time to numb me that I realized the lipo hadn’t started yet. I’m not sure how long I laid there, but when he started the lipo, it was not painful at all. In fact, we talked throughout the entire procedure! Dr. Dawson mentioned more than once that most people just fall asleep. But I’m one of those weird folks that metabolizes medication differently I guess. The Xanax felt like it had no effect on me. I was wide awake and comfortable. Occasionally I had a twinge that quickly passed. At one point I felt a weird vibration on one leg. I thought it was a tool Dr. Dawson was using that was vibrating on my leg. Then he told me to stop, and I realized that it was my leg shaking. I was too numb to realize it was me. So I told myself to relax and it stopped. But it was like an out of body experience because it didn’t feel like me doing it, to begin with. That was really the only odd thing to happen and it passed in less than a minute. When he got to the tummy tuck, I felt absolutely nothing until he begin suturing. Then I felt pulling and tugging but no pain. I stayed for two nights in a recovery center that had a nurse on-site at all times. Because I’m single, I worried about not having someone around for emergencies. I walked out after the procedure and had no difficulty doing so. I drained from my incisions day 1 and part of day 2. I was completely done with drainage before I left the recovery center. It’s now day 4, 1/2/2023, and I’m feeling relatively good. The verdict is still out whether I’ll be back at work in a week. That said, I am walking up and down stairs unassisted. Additionally, Dr. Dawson is not a fan of giving more than a few days of narcotic pain killers to avoid addiction. I think that’s a positive thing, personally. But on day 1, in spite of the meds given to me at the facility, by the end of the day, I was taking pain meds every 4 hours, not making it to the 6 hour window. Sono Bello suggested doubling the pills but I was anxious that I’d run out even quicker. I was trying to alternate between Tylenol and the prescription but the pain was worse on just Tylenol and I had to be careful with the level of acetaminophen. Dr. Dawson called me on day 2 and reluctantly agreed to call in a few more pills. He assured me the pain would decrease within the first 3 days but the second and sometimes third day could be the worst. At any rate, my anxiety was reduced knowing I had a few extra pills and wouldn’t run out. Well he was right! It’s day 4 and I haven’t touched the second prescription. He kept telling me to trust him and the process and so far it’s worked. Now to personality… Dr. Dawson has mixed reviews from others. I chose him in spite of the negative reviews because none of them spoke about him botching his procedures. I can deal with Dr. Dawson’s matter of fact personality and curt responses. He has trained and practiced for years to hone his medical expertise. I didn’t pay thousands of dollars for a winning personality, I paid for results. And so far I’m very pleased with the results, as well as Dr. Dawson’s personality. He won’t coddle you and can be a little gruff, until you dig a bit deeper and realize he’s really a teddy bear. I’ll try to remember to post updates as I progress but day 4 I’m home alone caring for myself, showering alone, and only have soreness, no major aching pain. Updated on 4 Jan 2023: It’s now 6 days post procedure and my 1 week appointment at Sono Bello is tomorrow. I got a call from nurse Emma the evening of Day 5. I mentioned concerns with scarring to her (I’d previously mentioned it to Dr. Dawson, his assistant, and to Mellanie, the Clinical Manager. Suddenly I’m hearing for the very first time I’ll be provided with scar silicone. Why would no one else mention it until now? I also asked Emma about whether It should be wearing an ab board and she says it’s recommended. What?! I complained about the utter lack of communication between anybody at Sonobello and she tells me they can answer questions if I ask them. If you’ve never done this process before, how could you possibly begin to know what questions to even ask? I I told Emma I wanna know everything upfront. She told me she intended to tell me that stuff at my one week appointment and I said no, I need to know the entire process from beginning to end now. That’s when she tells me that she can send me recommended places for getting lymphatic drainage massages. I was originally told by Michelle, the consultant I initially spoke to that eagerly excepted my deposit, that LDM was a package I could include with the procedure, so I did. And by the way, Michelle, who is not a doctor, examine my body and ultimately quoted me $7000 to essentially do 360 Lipo. In good faith, I paid a $2,000 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit with the understanding that that was the total cost and no tummy tuck was needed. It was only at the preop, after meeting with Dr. Dawson for the first time, that I learned the results would not be great unless I did do a tummy tuck. When I asked for the price, he told me he does not get into prices, and that was strictly with Sonobello. long story short, the price doubled. I had grade concerns and voiced those concerns later to Mellanie over Sono Bello’s bait & switch tactics. I also voiced concerns about the P smelling information. No reputable company takes your money, tells you it will not be refunded, then move the ball on what procedures are really needed, and essentially says you lose approximately $2,200 if you decide to cancel AFTER they double the price! At that point, they my deposit and I trusted Dr. Dawson based upon my research. So I continued forward but let Mellanie and Michelle both know the deceptive practices were wrong. Both ladies told me that’s just how the business model for Sono Bello worked. So the evening of day five I received a text message from Emma with suggestions of folks to seek out for LDM. I am mediately start going down the list. Locate somebody and schedule my first session of LDM on Day 6, today. It’s at this session that I learned I’m developing fibrosis. I have super hard rope like tissue, starting on my back and moving around my waist to my stomach near where the incision was made for the tummy tuck. I learned from the therapist that I should have started LDM the same day as the procedure if not, the very next day. At this point, she’s uncertain whether she will be able to soften these protrusions because they’re rockhard. So for another $580 I’m seeing her five days in a row for 60 minutes a day to manually massage my really inflamed and fluid filled middle section from my back all the way around my sides to my stomach. Sono Bello should’ve relayed that information. Well before now. Additionally, Michelle should never have indicated I was paying for LDM when in fact, I was actually paying for some other service sono Bello provides to essentially try and help shrink the skin a few months after the procedure. The whole process is just asinine with this company! I called Sonobello immediately after leaving the therapist and let them know. I fully expect to see a doctor at my appointment tomorrow so be warned. Their response was to tell me if I wanted to see a doctor I needed to change my appointment time which I did. What’s sad is they had me coming in when no doctor would even have been available to address any issues in spite of telling me if I had issues at my appointment I would be able to see a doctor! I no longer have mixed feelings about Sono Bello. Run, don’t walk, to a private doctor’s office. These people are disorganized at best, unethical and poorly trained at worst. Updated on 8 Feb 2023: I am continuing to improve slowly but surely. I still have swelling and bruising, but I began wearing lipo foam to help press more fluid out of pockets. It really does make a difference. I’m also continuing with LDM on a weekly basis. And it really matters who you get. My therapist used to work in a plastic surgeon’s office before branching out on her own. So she has all kinds of equipment and the knowledge of what tools to use in the process. Every visit uses different tools as I improve. She’s used a sonogram, hand massages, a laser, and massage hand tools to work on the smaller knots that are formed on my sides and stomach. The knots are appearing as larger areas are softening. Sono Bello still sucks, but they are scheduling me to see Dr. Dawson at every visit - at my insistence. My latest photos actually show some of the knots on one side pretty clearly I think.
My torso looks way worse than before the surgery, I looked deformed now and I'm lopsided. I specifically asked him to insure at minimum I have a waist, to sinch it and take some of my tummy fat out. But give me a silhouette. His bedside manner was cold. Sonobello only required a 10-14 day pist surgery visit when they fitted me for a garment. Prior to that I wore this hard binder for 2 weeks which started my rock formation stomach look. I should've gotten a garment immediately after surgery. At 3 wks I start complaining about the hardness and bulges on my flanks so the called me in and did aparated those areas to no betterment. I went back 3 more times and he did this, only worsening my issues. I asked him if i should get lymphatic massages and he never looked at me and said, "sure" and nothing else. Unbeknownst to me I'm developing seromas and severe fibrosis. Sonobello could careless about your post op care and outcome. Lymphatic massages are critical to your faster healing and best results. Now I have a chest and shape like a dude with a rocky egg shape and no waist to be thought of. I indured a lot of pain physically and emotionally watching myself grow into a monster not to mention I'm broke and embarrassed as folks tell me.."I told you it wouldn't work " Can a doctor please help me. I'm 60 years old and made a bad decision with a less than caring surgeon/organization. How do I fix this? :-( Is it to late? Updated on 20 Jun 2020: No procedure is perfect. After going back and talking to Dr. Dawson I must say his bedside manner was better. He listened to my result concerns and agreed that he would make corrections to my area of concern after getting to my 6 month mark. Perhaps my scar tissue will soften more on my left flank by then with additional lymphatic massages. I appreciated him giving me a plan to correct it. Other than that left flank the rest of my torso is good but I need it to match. I will update again soon. Meantime, I've learned that lymphatic massages are KEY to healing faster with better results something Sonobello does not promote, however, GREATLY effective.
During my procedure at Sono Bello, i was awake throughout everything, and all I can say is my experience was the most painful/traumatizing experience I have ever gone through. This Doctor has no bedside manner whatsoever. I scream and cried for the entire 2 hours and all he did was shut me up. Im currently in the recovery process and still dealing with major pain, Sono bello is the worst when it comes to customer service and actually caring for the patient. I’m still in shock and disbelief of what I went through.
I'm glad I found this site,My story is identical to most of you all,I developed to size D in middle school. My journey for breast reduction started when I was 18 but,Dr suggested I wait until I finished child-bearing even though then,I didn't want kids & it was far from my mind,fast foward 10yrs & 3 kids later lol! .I started the process again just to be told By my pcp,I needed to lose weight,& I did I lost about 40lbs of fat but,none from my boobies,that was in 2014 & since then,I have new insurance (Unitedhealth Care)new Dr. I thought it wouldn't be possible bc,I was discouraged with hearing so many people getting denied via insurance,I thought insurance will surely deny me as well. Skip to 2016 I've been in excruciating back,neck & shoulder pain that I went to pcp & she said "you have macromastia,have you ever thought about breast reduction?"& I'm like"of course" lol! that was February 2,2016 she gave me a referral to a ps that I chose myself on feb 4th on feb 9th I had my consult,meanwhile Im in physical therapy seeing a chiropractor a neurologist for my chronic migraines & a pain management Dr.My Ps office staffed called on feb 16th asking me if I could get recommendation from my chiro bc the ps didn't feel confident I would get approval without recommendation & six months of therapy,I asked them can they just send my prior auth to insurance with out reccomendation just to see,bc I was told I needed a minimum of 441grams removed & my ps told me I would need 1300/1200 grams removed from each breast my right breast is bigger than left,so I thought Ill take my chances,so they sent over prior auth to ins.Monday feb 22nd I got the call I was approved!!!! ???? And my surgery could have been as early as March 2nd but,that wasn't enough time for me to get all of my affairs in order.So I went for the next possible date March 10th,I can't wait to be relieved of the pain,I'm So tired of being the person in pain all day. I don't feel like I'm being the best parent I can be bc I'm always hurting. My story was longer than I wanted it to be but,I want to encourage all of you all that feel discouraged in dealing with ins & all of the ladies that give up before you tried,like I did. Please just go for it!! I know the anxiety will set in as you play this waiting game but,have patience this coming from a impatient person,I'm ready to be a new me,I'm ready to not have to wear two regular bras plus a sports bra just to work out,I'm ready to be able to Zumba,boxing and run without my boobies and shoulders hurting from all the bouncing,I'm ready to kill my workouts,Thanks for letting me share I hope this gives you motivation. Sn: I can't believe I'm sharing my pictures. Updated on 4 Mar 2016: Today I went for my pre-op for both pc & ps & my ps gave me my scripts & all the info I needed to know about the surgery,so I'm really on my way to pain free better me. Updated on 11 Mar 2016: My surgery was yesterday 3/10/16 I'm a little nervous bc they had to admit me after being in recovery for 6hours following bc I couldn't stop vomiting & had a fever they started me on antibiotics through iv for fear of an infection but,I'm staring to feel a little better & hopefully I can see my dr today. Updated on 14 Mar 2016: I was released Friday after seeing my ps & I was able to keep my food down & no nausea I'm at home recovering but,I'm in pain,I'm dizzy most the day & I just feel overall bad my ps gave me hydrocodone 2 every 4 hours for the pain but,I'm almost out of meds,I called ps & they said I would have to hold out until my follow up appointment tomorrow to get another script I only have 4 pills left,what am I supposed to do for the pain? When the medicine wears off I can feel everything,I know this will be worth it in the end but,right now I feel horrible.
Hi Real Self! I've been "stalking" this site just like I see alot of others have been before they even say a word. I had a tummy tuck with lipo and breast lift with Dr. Konrad Dawson here in DC almost a year ago to the date. My result were great... so why am I considering going to the DR for the BBL (and maybe arm lift)? Because from the years and years I've been researching sx online (on and off rs), in magazines, consultations, I've never seen the snatched waists and "S" curves that I've seen come out of the DR! I paid over $12K cash for my extended TT, lipo and BL and trust me it was worth every penny, but I want to go further! I want to be even more amazing!!! Dr. Dawson is one of the best, but he is reasonable and I want my body to be outside of reason (lol). Now where can I go that's on the edge of reason, quicker, snatchy-er for less cost? Answer: DR baby!!! As you can see I'm planning to go in 2017 right after my daughters birthday but I'm looking now to see which doctor I should see. I've seen so many posts for the various dolls it's making my head spin. I'm leaning towards Almonte and Baez. Does anyone have any input about which doctor to go to???? Updated on 7 Apr 2016: My measurements are 40-34-50. I'm 5'5' and I weigh 235 pounds. I wear between a size 12 and 14. My thighs are 28" a piece!!!! (O_o) That is more then some peoples waist size!!! I've been actively/aggressively losing for the last 2 months. I weighed 235 after my last surgery and managed to put on 20 pounds between the winter holidays and my daughters birthday in January. Its crazy how bad eating habits take no time to redevelop in your life and how hard it is to get back on track. I finally had enough - so in February @ 255 pounds, I got serious and lost 20. I want to lose 35 more. I have no desire to be small, however I do believe if I lose this next 35 pounds my BBL, lipo and arm lift will have even better results. For weight loss: I pay close attention to my diet, especially my carbs and I drink alot of water. I found that you have to find out what eating works for you. Protein and veggies with limited carbs gives me fuel for the gym and helps my body have better weight lose results. My work out has changed the most! I'm a gym rat, but only for weight lifting. I've included cardio with my weight training and its made all the difference in the world! Between my workout regimen, my diet and my surgery my goals are to: (1) lipo of waist (down to 30" - which is 4 inches smaller then what I am now) (2) lipo of ALL back fat (3) lipo of upper inner leg fat (4) lipo of inner knee fat (5) removal of swinging arm fat Overall to be as muscular toned as I can possible be with getting surgery at 200 pounds. I want to keep my thighs, just more toned. I always love woman's profile pictures where their legs are bigger then their torso area.
I'm planning to have a standard or extended tummy with lipo and fat transfer to my butt. I've been researching these procedures for sooooooo long, I feel like a quasi-expert. So currently, I'm researching doctors, developing a pre procedure time table and building my credit to pay. And i want to loose about 20-50 pounds and maintain it prior to my procedures. I'm planning to go under the knife fall of 2014. I have an 8 year old and my tummy has never been the same. I've always been thick but I was blessed with more a coke bottle shape. I work out atleast 5 times a week, sometimes 2 a days even. I LOVE LOVE LOVE weight training and fit cardio in 3 days a week even though I HATE it. Im looking at 4 doctors: Dr. Ricardo Rodreguiez, Dr. Konrad Dawson, Dr. Benjamin, and Dr. Daniel Markmann. I'll add pictures soon..... And so my journey begins!!!!! Updated on 6 Dec 2013: So just an update.... I'm signing up for boot camp for January and February... Have to lose this weight before surgery! Secondly, I went ahead and requested my first consult with Dr. Markmann. And lastly, I do plan on getting part of the surgery financed so I've begun repairing my credit. I'm hoping to time my surgery for next Fall and I'm hoping I should be in time if I start now. Any input would be great!!! Updated on 11 Dec 2013: .... ladies are blogging about choosing their plastic surgeon but it sounds like they are describing meeting their soul mate! Ha! I ? it... because to me it is really that personal. Updated on 14 Dec 2013: I'm obsessed with this site! It's the Facebook of plastic surgery. I haven't gone for my consult yet, but I think I should wait until after the holidays. I'm more focused on my Lil ones Xmas and Birthday (January 5th) then my surgery plans. When I go I want to be completely focused and not thinking did I forget something for my Lil one!!!!! On another I'm not about b.s. either! One of friends just lost who he just recently found out to be his cousin and wished he didn't put meeting her on the back burner. Now she is gone and there is NO tomorrow! This is a dream.... This is close to my heart and brings tears to my eyes. I am anticipating next fall (planned procedure date)and I feel a new depth to my desire. I hope someone here can relate... If not what are we putting our bodies through this for?????? Updated on 26 Dec 2013: Consult Scheduled: 3rd - Dr. Daniel Markmann. Appointment with PCP prior to consult. I'm still keeping the other 3 docs in the back of my mind but Dr. Markmann has all of attention right now. We'll see how the initial meeting goes... Diet / Exercise: Nutra bullet Weight training 5 days a week, Boot camp 3 days a week. Goal 30-50 pounds before surgery. Payment: down payment amount achieved. Still working on credit. Updated on 1 Jan 2014: Just some thoughts... I've reached out to Dr. Nia Banks and Dr. Sarah Mess. I still have my appointment with Dr. Daniel Markmann in Feb. I have a physical coming up and I want to make sure everything is cool before I make appointments with Banks or Mess because I have to pay and if something pops up in the physical.... ohhhh how upset would I be!!!!!! Now it's time to dig deeper into my work... boot camp added to my weight training and adding Nutribullet blended mixtures into my diet while I'm dropping the sugars, oils, sauces and heavy carbs I've been indulging in more then not since Thanksgiving. I've taking starting point body measurements. Now the first 3 months of 2014 will be my montage. Lol. Enjoy your New Year! Updated on 24 Apr 2015: I'm 6 days Pre-Op. Next Thursday I will be on the flat side. I lost 30 pounds, saved all the money, found the perfect doctor, and got my credit score up 100 points even though I'm not using credit for this (can't tell you how happy I am about that). Today was my last of work and it was kind of sad knowing I wouldn't see co-workers for 5 weeks or so. My job atmosphere is great and I was treated to lunch and given recovery comfort needs. Don't get me wrong, I'm going to enjoy my time off and can't wait until the day they take a knife to this body! I'm not scared of recovery or the surgery.. let's go!
