Good Times
Feeling Great! Looking great!
Anyhow I am feeling great lately! I only feel tight when I've been sitting a long time and then get up. Other than that I am walking around upright, laying on my side and on my back at night!
I had my check up yesterday and I got the green light for everything! No more compression garment if I don't want to wear it. But figure I will keep wearing it unless I go out and want to wear something without it. Otherwise why not reap the benefits?
I can exercise, go in spas, get spray tans, waxes and all! One funny thing I have noticed is that especially without my CG it feels like I have a tight belt or string tied around my waist where my incision is. Kind of annoying but worth it!
My results are looking really good. My scar is so thin. A little uneven but you can't tell unless you compare to the line of a swimsuit bottom or something. My belly button looks great and natural too. All things I was worried about pre-op. My husband even says that he thinks when all the swelling is gone I'll look about as good as I did on our honeymoon...maybe even better (minus the scar). So nice to hear him say that!
We are going to have such a great time on our 10 year anniversary in a few weeks. I'm so excited!
I just received my custom bikini bottoms in the mail yesterday. They're so cute! And the top belt hides my scar just right. I have to pull it up slightly to cover the whole scar so I might have them adjusted. But they're cute either way! Can't wait to wear it on the cruise!
Anyways, oh and I had some more photos taken at the appointment yesterday. I highly recommend Athenix and Dr Javad for anyone in this area.

Provider Review
From the consultation, to pre-op, to the day of surgery the Athenix Body Sculpting staff has been both knowledgable and helpful. Starting with Maurina as my consultant. She answered my questions and was accurate in determining what procedure was best for me. Candace at my pre-op appointment was super nice and gave me all the proper instruction. On surgery day the entire staff was very clear about what we were doing and what would happen next. Dr Javad has very good bedside manner and was very good about ensuring I was comfortable with everything. This is the first time I've had a surgery done while being "awake". I think the pre-IV cocktail which included some anxiety meds went a long way to make it less scary. During the procedure I recall waking up just a couple of times and asking for more pain control and that was it. And really it was nice not waking up in excruciating pain from being under like I had in a past surgery. So far I'm happy with the results knowing that things will look better once the swelling goes down. I expect a year from now I'll be able to update this review and be overjoyed with the final outcome.
