I have been researching this procedure for at least a year and have finally decided to do something for myself. There's no better time than for my big 3-0! I've decided to go with Dr. Davoudi; a friend of mine used him as well and she looks fabulous. I'm super excited and nervous at the same time. I'm really doing it!!!!

It is an exciting time when you finally make the decision. I am at my 5-week point post surgery. The first week was so tough butt now I'm loving it and have no regrets. Congratulations on your weight loss. Good for you. I had the surgery done due to massive weight loss. Keep us posted

I work sitting down with lots of breaks. Do you think I would be able to return to work after 2 weeks?

I scheduled three weeks off and ended up getting the fourth, which I definitely needed! But I still had one drain in until during my fourth week. I am 50 so that may have made it harder to go back.

Well it is good that your job allows you to sit but you do have to make sure that you get up and move because not wanting to get clots. And about should you go back to work after 2 weeks you know I actually scheduled to have three weeks off just to be on the safe side because I was afraid of having complications and I wasn't sure about how I was going to actually feel. I'm glad I did have three weeks off I actually think that's more ideal if you can. It's just that you might not sleep that great for a while because your incisions and also you just really need time to heal. But of course your doctor will be able to tell you more than me but every person is different. I have a very physical job so I'm glad I did at least three weeks and even now at five weeks I'm on light duty.

I also want to add on the other hand you probably also going to be dying to get back into your routine too because after a while you get kind of crazy being cooped up LOL

Second Consultation Complete
I had a second consultation today after losing 35 lbs!!! I was hoping to get better results by losing weight first. However, I was told that I lost so much of my breast mass that I will need an implant to get the full D cup breasts I want. :(. But on the brighter side, I won't need any lipo on my back at all, yay!!! I want to have my surgery in June or July while my kids are away for the summer, this should give me more time to relax and heal. Anyone else having surgery around that time?

I'v been thinking about the summer doing LIPO with Dr. D. But, yikes! Then layers of garments have me pondering. I'm scheduled to see him on Tuesday and will put down mt deposit. But, i leaning more towards fall...plus i'm paying in cash and will hopeful pay off my balance. You off to a great start with that weight lost!!!! Congrats !!

I wanted to do my surgery in the fall or winter as well but I had to plan around my kids, they go out of town for the summer. I thought my recovery would be easier if they were not home and I didn't want them to see me in so much pain so I booked for summer break while they are away.

Good luck on your upcoming surgery. I will be following your journey :-). I'm scheduled for September 2.

I'm having surgery June 2! That way kids are home for the summer and since I work as a teachers assistant I don't work summers and I'll have the entire time to recover before the new school year starts! Good luck and God bless

Good luck! How are you feeling? I'd probably so nervous that I'd pass out. I'm going to have to get a Valium or something from the doctor.

Way to go on losing weight! Give me some pointers please!

Hey! This is what worked for me. I eat a very clean natural diet. If it comes in a box I won't buy it unless I absolutely have to. I limited my carbs to a half a serving of brown rice once a week. No salt, no sugar, no red meat, no pork. In the morning I have a kale smoothie for breakfast, lots of fresh fruit and raw veggies for snack, spinach salad for lunch, and typically a piece of fish and steamed fresh green beans for dinner. If I know I will be away from home all day I will pack all the food I need in two gigantic lunch boxes so I don't feel tempted to stop and buy junk food. Cheat one meal a week, it keeps you grounded. On my cheat days I usually opt for wine as my dessert instead of fruit. I do an hour of medium to high intensity cardio followed by an hour of weight lifting. If you have anymore questions feel free to message me. I'm happy to help. ;)

I'm getting excited!!
All I can think about is getting the surgery done. I've checked my schedule and am looking to schedule it for June 22. Anyone else have surgery around that time? I've been thinking of all the possible supplies I may need, writing lists, trying to recruit friends to stay with me for a day or two...it's finally real!!!!
