5+ stars!
WORTH IT
I absolutely love everyone at this office! There is no pressure. Everyone is kind and compassionate. Dr. Snider is amazing, always makes me feel comfortable and he’s made me feel confident about my body with the beautiful job he did on my tummy tuck and breast lift. You can barely even see my scars!!
He’s doing my breast implants very soon. My lift looks great and everyone thinks they’re perfect how they are. I just want them more plump. I know I was super annoying during the process of my 1st surgery and nobody ever showed any sign of irritation with my nervousness and 5000 questions. I recommend him to anyone interested in cosmetic procedures. My procedure was done September 9, 2016. The app won’t let me date back that far.

Late day 11 update
Yesterday was day 11. I went in for my follow up and had my drain removed...I do not miss that thing. Everything is looking great & my energy is increasing with everyday. I feel like my life is getting back to normal. Yesterday went like any normal day off. Rams errands, picked up the kids, went grocery shopping, made dinner, did the dishes & helped with homework. Lovin it. I was totally prepared for the worst.

I'm doing great too! I have soooo much bruising on my flanks, which is exactly where I wanted most of my lipo done. I'm hoping that means that's where he removed the most fat! But as of right now, I can't really tell because of swelling! (At least that's what I'm hoping it is!). I have literally no curve in my waistline and never really did have much of one, but I'm hoping when all the swelling goes down I'll see some improvement. In the mean time, I'm used to working out every day and it's making me crazy sitting and not exercising....I'm going to end up fat just sitting here recovering from the tummy tuck and lipo and eating out of boredom! Hahahaha! It's a vicious cycle! By boobs look so so so much better, I'm thrilled with them! I forgot how nice they can look! Can't wait to see the end result and strut my stuff again. Lol! I'll post some more pictures once I see some changes .....hopefully a few days! :-P

I was crazy bruised too. Are you using arnica? The food thing is so funny because I was thinking the same thing. Especially in the middle of the night when I was having a snack with my Percocet. I can't wait to get back to the gym myself. I'm pretty swollen today. Plus I'm in my period so that's not helping. I wish you a speedy recovery. Can't wait to see the pics! Have a great day & take care of yourself.

Yep! Still taking Arnika! How long did they tell u to take it? I think my instructions were to take it for 7 days after surgery. Does that sound about right? Well, I'm hoping I stop being so hungry! Did your doctor have you take prednisone? My mom used to take it when she had really bad asthma as anti-inflammatory. My Dr. had me on it for 5 days post-op and I know that increases ur appetite!

I took arnica for about 7 days after. I'm still using the cream 2-3 times a day. I almost feel like the cream or gel work better on the bruising. I've never heard of taking prednisone after. Did it help?

They never said anything about arnica cream! Hmmmm.....! Maybe they will when I go in on Friday. How long after ur surgery did u start using it? I have no idea whether the prednisone worked or not...who knows?.....because I don't know how swollen I would've been if I hadn't taken it! Lol!!! But I guess we could probably say that about the arnica and our bruises also! You know what I mean? And I've only had my breast augmentation 15 years ago, other than that, I haven't had any more plastic surgery done. They never gave it to me back then and I've never heard of anyone using it before! But I figured, I'm trusting him with everything else, he must know what he's doing! I sure hope so!!! Lol! (A little late for me to question that now, huh?). I'll be interested to see if they suggest the cream for me on Friday. I'll keep you posted! Thanks Bug77 for all your support and positive input! It's great having someone to share the experience with that understands the need to make ourselves feel and look better! :)

I've used arnica gel before years ago. I tested the cream out and there was a significant improvement on the bruise I used it on. So I know it works. Not sure about the oral though. I took it anyway. I started the cream the next day. Still using it and my bruises are almost gone. I love this site! The support is great. I definitely needed it before surgery because o was so freaked out.

Oh having the drain removed was life-changing! lol
Glad you're feeling so good and getting along so well.
Looking great!

Day 10!
I feel amazing today!!! Tons of energy. Almost standing completely straight. Ran a bunch of errands and got my nails done. 1st day with no nap & only took 600mg of ibuprofen. Looks like the drain is coming out tomorrow! Can't wait! I'll post new pics after they change my tapes. They look nasty because they're covered in black lint from my yoga pants.

Love the extra energy! I'm going back to work Thursday which will be 14 days po, so I've been up moving more trying to build stamina and workeep through those sore back muscles etc. Kind of glad I'll only have to work 2 days and then have the weekend again. I plan to use my lunch hour as nap time if necessary. Can't wait to see pics after your drain removal/tape change. Continued healing to us both!

I'm so glad I don't go back until the 27th. I drive for Lyft and uber occasionally so I might do a few runs here and there until I go back for some extra money. I'm sure you'll do fine at work. It seems like we've been healing faster than most. Good luck!
September 20, 2016
Thanks. I'm pretty much a desk job but I I have a electric desk do I can sit or stand around my choice.
September 20, 2016
Good to hear that you got some energy back! :))). Hopefully I won't be that far behind you! I'm still pretty slow moving. Yesterday I was awake all day and got up quite a bit, but by dinner time my tummy was very swollen and uncomfortable! Have you had more swelling late in the day after you've been a little more active?
September 20, 2016
It seems to me like the swelling comes and goes throughout the day...I've been trying to avoid too much salt. I feel like I'm a bit more tight after being more active and that causes me to hunch more which makes my back start hurting again. Hopefully you'll find that your energy doubles today. I started my period this morning so I woke up with cramps from hell and feeling shitting. I wish you the best!
