You look amazing!! Your doctor did great work! Wow! I hope the same for myself when it's time
You look wonderful. I agree an amazing job. Congratulations, I know it’s hard waiting on the results. I’m not real patient so waiting for the swelling was the worst for me. It was totally worth it.

You look amazing thank you. Mines was postponed due to Covid -19. Can’t wait
Thanks! Have you reacehduled?
I have a question for anyone post surgery, has anyone experienced ankle or lower leg swelling? I suffer from a little swelling in my ankles right now so I was just wondering what to look for if I decide to through with a surgery.
I have had a little swelling in my ankles and feet, but nothing major. Usually just whrn i have too much salt
so much better!!! tons of inches gone....how much weight have you lost?
Depends on the day. Still swelling a lot. I am anwhere from 12 pounds down to 2 pounds down. Would be more if it wasn't for all the quarantine snacking, lol. I finally feel better and can tolerate exercising, so plan on being more foxused on that.
This is def a process and not a 6 week recovery.... probably the biggest thing I was not prepared for. Still would go thru it all over again
I totally agree with you! It's life changing in both the way we look AND the limitations we work around for months and months afterwards.
Wow! U look great!
You look great !!

6 weeks PO

So, it has been a while since I updated. I did not feel good enough to worry about what I looked like for a while, I had a rough recovery. Then I came down with he virus. I coughed for 11 days straight. I have been so sore. Just starting to feel more normal. This is the first week I can sleep on my side sort of comfortably. Thank goodness for my lift recliner, it has saved me. I am still pretty swollen because of all the coughing. I am mostly happy with my results, because I mainly wanted my overhang gone, but I am not happy with how boxy I look. I hope that inproves. I feel like he took too much off my hips. From pre-op, i have lost 3 inches off my waist, 7 inches off my hips, and 4 inches off my bra band area. I am happy with that, but I need more of a waist. It may go down a little more, hopefully. I haven’t taken many pics, but I took a wuick one this morning, I will post it.

You look amazing! Keep us posted on our results!
How much cost you’re surgery?
$18,000. He is expensive, but does great work
I’m 6 months out from having mine and I still have that look on my stomach. Going to the dr Tuesday for a checkup and hoping to get some answers.
