I am feeling fantastic and healing well. I am soy getting my strength back and haven’t needed to take pain medication for the past week and a half. My last drain was taken out last week and I’m getting my strength back, but am taking it easy. I didn’t realize how much pain I was in carrying around all that extra skin. I had hip pain before and now it’s gone! If you have lost a lot of weight, have loose skin and are on the fence about this surgery- I want to encourage you to DO IT and go see Dr. Hubbard- he’s by far the best!!! I am still pretty swollen... I’m ok with that... I know I’m only going to keep shrinking ????.

Amazing results! You look absolutely amazing. I definitely see the butterfly that was hidden under all that cocoon of skin. I have lost a lot of weight myself and know how it feels to carry it around. I felt like I was exercising for nothing because you could not see my results from weight training and doing cardio. You look so great. I’m excited to see my results in a month.

I totally understand the swollen concept, but it will go away. I have been eating fresh fruit (pineapple and berries) and trying to eat low sodium. We are so blessed to have Dr. Hubbard as our surgeon and his incredible stars. I lost over 50 lbs and maintained, since cancer treated with chemo, steriods and radiation. I feel like a different person witout all of this skin. My fiancée (been together since the end of my cancer treatments) has been very supportive with my decision to do these revisions. He never suggested that I do these revisions, but has took care of me and is very supportive. I plan to post photos on my review soon. I feel good but like you said, just a bit weak and less stanima. Your results look amazing. I am so proud of you loosing weight on your own diet plan and exercise. I have hypothyroid and have always had to monitor my food intake (even as a child). I respect your discipline and dedidication to make yourself more healthy. You look so good. Stay healthy and focused. I will always be here to support you because I know what it is like to maintain a healthy weight and stay focused on your life change. You should definitely br motivated to maintain , considering how good you look and these amazing resukts. Stay strong doll and watch for my posts. I am still recovering but trying to get my review caught up. Also my fiancée and I absolutely love Texas. The people I have interacted with on my two trips here are so friendly, kind, and courteous.

Not stars, staff. I need to compose my posts on my iPad or computer verses my phone. :-) Auto Spell check is annoying at times, especially if you are in medication and recovering from surgery.

LOL...thanks for sharing your journey. I am seriously considering a full body lift after weight loss surgery. Trying to get my courage up to just do it.

I loved reading your story! My body lift with Brest lift is scheduled for May 2. I started crying today because I was asking myself what the heck am I doing spending all that money when could we used on something else! and the recovery time scares me too. I have two full weeks off and then I’m supposed to work out of town during the third week.... it’s just sitting at a conference I’m still afraid I will be so weak?? It sounds like you did really well though so I’m hoping for the same! You look absolutely amazing and I am so happy for you

OMG!!! You look amazing! Congrats on the medium shorts!!!! How’s your recovery going? Did u stay overnight at the hotel through the office?
September 17, 2018
Thank you!! Recovery going well... I get tired easily but to be expected... I’m healing well... Dr. Hubbard is just amazing! Yes I did and I recommend you do if you are having a similar procedure. My boyfriend stayed with me - and it helped him to help me. My left side - because I’m left handed is slower to heal, cuz I use my left side more so trying to slow it down. Are you excited about your procedure? Are you coming from out of state?

Yes. I am very excited. I am traveling from Cincinnati, Ohio. I will stay at the Marriott residence inn, located near Dr. Hubbard’s office for 12 days (post-op). I consulted with him (in person) around 2 months ago and I totally agree with you that he is “amazing”. He did not miss anything in my consultation and he spent a long time with me. I am having breast augmentation revision with lift, abdominoplasty revision, and the body lift. He is the only surgeon who addressed my minor case of double bubble (breast augmentation). My fiancé will be traveling with me to Texas. We are staying in the hotel at the center as well for one night. I think that it is so nice that your partner or a friend/family member can stay with you. His staff have been wonderful. I plan to start my review ASAP. Thanks so much for sharing info. :-) Your result is very impressive!

Yes. It went great. I stayed two nights in the hotel before transitioning back to my hotel. I am absolutely loving my result. So far I am beyond pleased. He revised my abdominoplasty and replaced the microfilament stitches. My implants are fit my frame perfectly. I am so happy with my body lift. It feels so good to be free from all that skin. I plan to start my review in a day or two. He is the best. His staff are so nice. They are very attentive to your needs. Thank you for checking on me. How are you feeling?

That’s so good to hear. How are you feeling now? I am feeling fantastic a it’s been one month now and I am loving my results & am excited each day I wake up! Yes I didn’t realize how inhibiting that extra skin was until now. Dr. Hubbard & his staff are sooo helpful and surpass any doctor and staff in the DFW area!! The best by a long shot!!

I am feeling good considering the amount of work I had done. The swelling is somewhat bad, but that’s normal. I had garments in the past but am wearing a binder this time. I love my results already and it’s only day 4-5.
September 30, 2018
I’m soo excited for you!! I’m looking forward to seeing your pics. Glad you are feeling well!

I am amazed. I will post some photos soon. Dr. Hubbard and his office manager, Lisa, are two of the kindest and most caring people I have ever met. I wish I were more knowledgeable during my first surgeries. It certainly costed a lot of money for those first results. Dr. Hubbard’s prices are so reasonable compared to my first rounds of surgery. He redone my entire abdominoplasty and repaired double bubble (very hard revision) and my Terrible lateral displacement. Dr. Hubbard is exceptionally skilled, caring, and does not take short cuts in his work. I had lots of work and consults, during my attempt to restore my body after cancer, chemotherapy, lots of steroids, And radiation. I had NEVER met a surgeon who comes close to Dr. Hubbard. I’m thinking of doing my arms next and maybe inner thighs. By the way your inner nd outer thighs look amazing. I got one of my drains removed today.

I’m feeling stronger today. I want to encourage anyone who has lost lots of weight and has extra skin to do this. I used to have pain on my left hip and it’s gone!! It must have been all that extra skin I was carrying around my hips.
Suggestions: rest, A lanyard helps when I take a shower to hold my drains...that worked best!!! Protein, vitamin C, arnica-the pellets by Boiron has helped. Swelling is still a problem for me, but I understand the process and am thrilled with my results! Your dominant hand will heal slower... I’m left handed and that side is healing slower.
Plus, most of all, I had the most incredible doctor and staff... Dr. Bradley Hubbard has changed my life. His assistant Kate, Kalie, Rehanna & Lisa... sure I didn’t spell all those right- ha...... are so compassionate, caring and helpful!!!!
I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my body. I need some more work done... he’s the man!!!

Thanks for the advice...my surgery is next Tuesday. Count down begins. Interesting comment about your hip pain improvement. I’ve lost around 50 lbs and maintained through diet and exercise, for years. I understand what you are saying about the excess skin. I will be so glad to have this revision. Dr. Hubbard did not miss a thing in my consultation. I’m excited about doing this but dread the recovery. Thanks for the tips!
September 18, 2018
Sending well wishes and a swift recovery your way!!! I’m excited for you- you have the BEST surgeon & staff- Dr. Hubbard can’t be beat!!! I did my research & visited a few doctors with good reputations, but he’s amazing!!! Worked miracles with me!!! I can’t wait to see your results too!!
