Sono Bello - Denver

Surgery day. My 11 month wedding anniversary.
I arrived a little early because my stomach is sensitive and I knew I’d get sick. Nerves. I ate 1 ½ egg bites because they said to eat light. My husband is with me and extremely supportive. I decided to write this because I read a few stories here and there but it wasn’t answering all of the things I was confused about or new to. Just remember when they say listen and fills what we say DO IT. Dr. Morton was awesome and my nurse Brooke. She was so sweet the whole time.
They brought me back I changed into the gown. Doc came and marked me and the nurse gave me my pills. 30 min later I was on the table. I will not like the needles were uncomfortable but you want to be numb! It was uncomfortable sometimes, sometimes I felt nothing, at times it even tickled. Either way. I was done got wrapped up and dressed. Then we started on our 2 hour ride home. I passed out I felt great when I got home. Woke up every 3 1/2 hours to take Percocet and 2 extra strength Tylenol. I was an hour late on one and I cried in pain.

Swollen. But I think I see the change! My incision is sensitive. Hurts to get in and out of bed. Otherwise I feel good. Finally ate food. Didn’t have an appetite.
I love that I wasn’t put to sleep.

It’s been a long week. I have felt worse and I’ve felt better. Be sparing with your pain meds! Save them for things you need to do or sleeping. Trust me. My selling has gone down a lot. But my legs and ankles ante swollen at night from work. Like when I was pregnant. That’s scaring me s little bit I know I’ll be ok.

I am feeling so much better but let’s be honest it was a long 2 weeks. Felt like a month haha. I’ve been carefully walking slowly. Getting better daily. Off all meds for the past week. I am a itching a Ton and the doc said I could take the tape off which makes me so nervous. It fees weird around my hip bones and sides because it is so tight now. Still a little swollen.

We had to travel for a death in the family but I had to go. About 19 hours one way and then another 19 home in 4 days. I swelled in my ankles and had to stop here and there but it was not unbearable.
These pics were taken at 2 1/2 weeks today is 3 1/2 and I’m finally making it to the doc after surgery. So much has been going on and it is about 2 1/2 hours away. Have to go when I can.

My experience was simply STELLAR! I am a nervous person when it comes to any kind of Medical experience/procedure, however my Sonobello journey has been epic!

My nurse, Doctor and all the Sonobello team/staff are so welcoming, patient, supportive, encouraging, and honest! All of my questions/concerns were answered and addressed immediately, with accurate and straight forward information.

I could not be more satisfied with my procedure, and my results so far. It took me quite a while to decide to visit Sonobello for a consultation, but once I finally did I must say this has been the best decision I have made for myself ever. This was my gift to myself, and I am ecstatic!

Sono Bello and it’s amazing people have truly given me a sense of myself back. After four kids, loss of my husband, and having a total lifestyle change when my son was diagnosed with tumors and I became a stay at home caregiver, my weight increased as I had no time to care for myself. No matter how hard I tried to make time there just wasn’t enough hours in the day.
Then I came across Sono Bello. From the moment I walked In the door for my consult I felt like family. The office staff, nurses, and Doctor really went above and beyond to explain all options and what to expect. They are all so kind, courteous, and knowledgeable It was a very personal and life changing decision to start my body contouring journey. They made the whole process a wonderful experience and my results are so empowering. Even post op they continue to encourage and support me in my journey toward getting me back. Thank you Sono Bella team for all you do.

Continuing to see changes daily. Such a difference from then to now. Each week I see the new me emerging and it’s great. The minimal discomfort after surgery is so worth the final outcome. Can’t wait to see me in another month.

The Consult Specialist was amazing and thorough. She answered all my questions. Dr. Cisco has EXCELLENT Beside Manners and easy to talk with. The nurses are knowledgeable and helpful. The staff listened to my concerns and addressed them to put me at ease. There was a little mix up with the post op garment that the nurses and front office staff addressed and corrected in a timely manner. Overall I would recommend this location for any procedure you are considering. The entire staff cares about their patients!!!

I had the most amazing experience and can’t believe the transformation I’ve had. Great experience with Sonobello highly recommend them. Nurse and Drs are great. Great responses to my questions when I have called

I went in not knowing what to expect.The location is nice and clean. I met with Tawnee during my consult. She was very professional and explained the process and procedures, She made everything very simple to understand. I went ahead and scheduled 4 areas on my body. Later I met with Dr Lee who is very nice, he explained the procedure and what I can expect during and afterwards.He made me feel like I made the right choice. The nurses are awesome!! and take good care of you. I was able to schedule on a Saturday which worked best for me.
During my procedures, Dr Lee played music to help me relax as I was nervous! But he was smooth and thorough about explaining to me what was happening. I felt mild discomfort during lipo but can say it didnt feel like he took long at all. I was provided with aftercare instructions and medication to help with any pain and swelling. Dr Lee called to check on me that same night and asked if I had any questions. I can definitely say that i am happy so far with the process from beginning till now as I still have follow up appts coming up.I can't wait till I'm completely healed and see my results! I recommend checking them out.

I was embarrassed to come in at first being a guy it didn’t seem like a manly resolution to my fat. I wanted to work it off but had no time with my job. I went to a consult and they made me feel comfortable and ready to do this finally. I am happy with how I look and look forward to my progress.

My experience with this location was great not to far from home easy to find all staff were so helpful cheery and wonderful I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a opportunity to feel 100 percent about them selves

I had the best experience with Sono Bello from the time of my initial call to schedule my evaluation, to my last appt. The young ladies at the front desk couldn't be more kind and helpful. My consultation and very appreciated suggestions of possible ideas for my body transformations from Tawnie, she's absolutely wonderful. The Dr. Assistants and right up to Dr. David Hendrick. Everything is so efficiently run. They are all on the ball, very organized and follow through. My first surgery was to rid myself of a lot of excess fat in the abdomen area. Dr. Hendrick did an absolutely AMAZING job, not in my wildest dreams would I think anyone could have done such magic work on my body, I couldn’t be more pleased. I go in next week to get my thighs legs and knees worked on, I can’t wait for the results. NEVER once did anyone make me feel ashamed of the appearance of my body, and other surgeries I’ve had to get me looking presentable prior to my visit at Sono Bello, that never really cut it. Dr. Hendrick is wonderful, a great bedside manner and a Dr. who is obviously dedicated to his work and his results. Give Sono Bello a try, you’ll be so glad that you did.

Sono Bello staff members were incredibly kind and welcoming. I have had Venus treatments on my abdomen to reduce my stretch marks after having a baby and even after one treatment I noticed a difference. From the front desk to the back of the house, each and every doctor or staff member genuinely cared about my success and I am forever grateful!
