I am a 42 year old mother of three, three C-sections, five feet tall, 146 lbs. In October of 2010 I had gastric bypass resulting in a weight loss of 125 lbs. I am scheduled to have a fleur de lis tummy tuck and panniculectomy on April 23rd 2019. So far every interaction I've had with the Albany Medical Center Plastic Surgery Group and Dr Roth have been phenomenal! I am beyond excited to finally be on my way to have this procedure. I will definitely be posting some before pictures very soon! Updated on 29 Mar 2019: I was finally able to get some before pictures to post. 25 days and counting before my procedure and I'm getting more excited every day! Lately I've been spending a lot of time researching before and after photos , watching actual procedure videos, reading reviews from people that have had the procedure and how each person differed in the recovery process. So many different stories , but I feel like I've learned a little bit from each one. I'm hoping my experience will be a positive one as well. Updated on 24 Apr 2019: Ok..so I had my procedure done yesterday, 4/23/19 & so far everything has gone very well! I have been up & moving quite a bit since yesterday with very little pain..I'd have to say on a scale of 1-10 I haven't gone any higher than 4. The staff here at Albany Medical is incredible & I will definitely be having more work done in the future. Once I'm home & able to move around a bit more, I'll be posting some "after" pics. Updated on 25 Apr 2019: Here are some post op pics..these are day 2. So far, doing very well . Like I said, I've been moving around as much as I possibly can with very little discomfort. My post op visit is this coming Monday & I'm truly hoping that these drains will come out..and I'm looking forward to a shower!! Crazy how we take such simple things for granted, right?
