Nervous is an Understatement....only Days Away - Beverly Hills, CA

Ok so i haven’t posted in a while because I’ve been trying to drop those holiday pounds that seemed to find themselves right around my waistline. I’ve finally reached my goal so I wanted to share with you my results. I noticed for about the first year or so I had bouts of swelling in the abdomen which I was assured this was to be expected. One thing I didn’t expect but it’s been a nice bonus is that when I eat a mea I really have to watch what I eat because if I’m too full I’m truly miserable. I have a dull aching pain in my abdomen and I am crawling out of my skin uncomfortable. This has made it a bit easier to drop some weight after because I have been more vigorous with watching what I eat. To say I’m happy with the result would be an understatement. I see people that I haven’t seen in a while and everyone comments on how good I look which is a great feeling . Having kids was the best decision. And I wold never take it back but it left me feeling like a stranger in my own body. I’ve always led an active lifestyle and it was becoming an issue while working out. I’m so happy I took this step and moved ahead with the surgery! I would absolutely recommend it to anyone so is just not comfortable in your skin!!!

So I'm feeling almost 100%! Every now and again I'll have some pain and if I do too much I notice I'm pretty sore and swollen by the time I go to bed. The incision site is healing really nicely and my belly button is looking more normal now. I think all in all I am so appreciative for this and I know it's going to be life changing. Dr. Chahin and all the staff are just amazing! I can't say enough great things about this whole experience. Looking forward to the day I don't have to wear this horrendous garment ;)
