Hello Ladies. It's been a while since I updated. Hope this more finds you all doing better than before and or coping well with any challenges included in your journey.

My 2 month post op appt was yesterday and I have to say the before and after pics really made me appreciate my journey even more! Pics are incudes with this review.

My weight has fluctuated up and down about 2 lbs at most so I am roughly 193ish most days. Currently I'm shopping for and wearing size 12 in most things and my breasts have settled into a full C which I surprisingly don't mind. My curerent measurements are 42-331/2-45 and that's alright with me!

I have been trying to pop in on your various reviews to let you know I'm thinking of you. Sometimes I haven't commented but know that I am checking in on you ladies.

Praying the best for each of you and continued healing and enjoyment of your new real selves.

Aw, thank msquick1! It is my pleasure to be able to share my journey it is somewhat cathartic and helps me appreciate what a blessing this process has been to me. Never thought I could actually get it done, but with surgery looming and the motivation of the other ladies here on RS, I was able to maximize my result with significant weight loss leading up to and after my sx. Best to you on your journey also. :0)

Thank you xo_trisha. Will definitely be back to update at 3 months. Going to continue with my healthier diet and exercise to further shape my hips and thighs. I am considering additional lipo of my upper hips if things don't smooth out a bit more with my efforts alone. Hoping for the best and enjoying things the way the are now in the meantime. LOL Success to you on your journey.

WONDERFUL update and pics! I love checking in on you, cause we have similar shapes (as well as before and after pics). You look lovely, my dear. Thanks for your comments and love, I'm doing okay. It's an adjustment not having my mom any more...now I no longer have parents, which feels strange...I'm the parent now. I have my sisters here in town, and that is a GREAT help and makes the loss easier to take. Keep taking care of yourself, you are doing a wonderful job! HUGS :-DSuzy

Had an inbox request for before breast pic. I see it is gone from my review. I must have inadvertently removed it. Here is then and now.

Hope all are well or on their way to wellness in this process.

Best

Glad to share and thanks for the compliment. They are so much lighter than before. I am scarcely aware of them (except for the occasional zing every now and then). Still healing. ;-)

I see it but he did an amazing job with placement! How was the pain? Some document it as so horrible but yours appears to have been managed well. As u don't describe it as not being manageable. I have a little one we are extremely active don't know how much downtime I can afford. Lol

Hello shao! Thank you so much. I am very pleased with my results. Dr. M makes his cuts as low as they can safely go for your body shape. He listens attentively to your "wish list" and let's you know what you can realistically expect. I highly recommend him without reservation.

Shao I was off work just shy of 3 weeks. The pain was well managed with the pain meds provided. I did not stop taking them until I was sure I'd be okay. Lots of water and rest during the first couple weeks helped a lot. The only thing I used on my scar was aquaphor healing ointment per PS's suggestion.
