TT, Liposculpture - Dominican Republic, DO

Oh my! I can't believe it's been 5 years! Sooo Dra. Robles may kill me but 2 years after surgery I gained 30 pounds :-o. But now I lost 18. Through all the weight fluctuations I remained shapely and tummy flat when I stand. My upper tummy rolls when I sit. My overall concensus. I would totally do the surgery again. The liposculpture kept me shapely even at my heaviest. And I still look pretty darn good in a bathing suit lol. 1 thing....arm lipo left my arms so flabby that I cover them most of the time. However they are smaller in circumference and even at my heaviest I didnt need to worry about my arms fitting in any sleeve.
Heres Me 5 years later. Thanks Dra. Robles

wow its been so long...i have recently gained a lil weight back. Im back at 195 because I eat like an animl lol....my end results are satsfactory. when i stand my tutummy is flat but when i sit there is a roll that forms to the upper central abdomen. no lipo was dobe to that area. making it look a bit odd. my lower abdomen is flatter thab the upper. but overall its better than what i had. i wore a bikini for the 1st time in 15 years last month. and i can wear tight dresses with no spanx. im off to d.r.. again next week foe a vacation. i have purchased several new swimsuits that i cant wait to wear

Hello RS .....thanks everybody for your amazing feedback, tips and compliments. You guys rock!

Im doing a lot better, I got my seromas drained for the second time maybe about 10 days ago or something, Instead of 30ccs this time the doctor only removed 15ccs and the color was not as weird. It was more like blood and fluid, not that thick fatty dark brown like the first time. Doctor Angela is the one who drained me at Golden Angel Spa in Manhattan ny and she said she doesn't think I'll need another aspiration (THANK GOD). They are great over there. I would keep getting massages over there but I can no longer afford it so I have not gone back. I went to my regular doctor today for a check up and he says the seromas are gone. No need for further aspiration!!! YESSSSSSSS!!!!

Since I discovered the seromas I've been wearing my faja 23/7...only remove it for showers and I use an ab board along with it. I like the ab board. Provides even compression and prevents pinching from the folding of the faja fabric. I have the octogan shaped one, cost 30. bucks

Swelling - Still an issue, lower belly swelling. Its discouraging cuz your like OMG All this pain and procedure and I'm ending up with a pouch NOOOOO. But according to my friend who did a TT recently, this supposedly goes down by month 4 -6. Patience is a virtue (sighhhh)

So also I've been paranoid about gaining my weight back b/c my appetite is still as it was before (EXTRA LARGE) lol but I"ve been trying to watch my portions. For the past week
I started the green smoothie craze from simplegreensmoothies.com and replace one or two of my meals with a green smoothie each day. Ive been given the ok to walk from dr. robles and I'm starting to do Leslie Sansone walk away the pounds at home because its FREEEEEZING here in new jersey and I wont walk outside. I will try the elliptical at the gym maybe in another week. Today when I went to the doctor I weighed 188lbs!!! I went into sugery at 205+; immediate after surgery I was 195; 3 weeks post I was 194; and today at about 2 months post 188. Thank goodness I'm on a downward trend, I would've been PISSED at myself if I gained weight LOl!

I will post pics in 3 days when I will be exactly 2 months post op. bye for now!!
