Here are updated pics

Long over due update! 2.5 months post

Hello RS! I have been so busy living life I have been neglecting you. I feel normal! My mind has finally caught up with my body, I have adjusted to being "hot" again! I still have numbness around by bb and above/below my abdominal incision. But, it is not bothering me at this time. I am able to do my normal gym routine with no problem. I am even still losing weight and inches without trying. The only area I am unhappy with is the bra roll area. I knew that they were not going to be able to be very aggressive with that area due to it compromising blood flow to other areas but it seems to be lumpier than before, like it was not even or something. I am hoping losing an extra 10 pounds will help this area. Also, I am not sure if it is my imagination or not but it seems like I have gained stretch marks post surgery, like from skin stretching. I will work on pics later today and do a comparison.

Something I am still getting used to, I don't really have hips any more. I have to wear a belt with an alarm and keys and stuff for my prison work and my hips used to keep the belt in place without it having to be tight as I wear it on top of all my clothes. Now it kind of slides down so I have to wear it tight. I guess I would like to have a little more of a waist but I suppose that was not an option for my body as my PS said that he pulled me really tight around the waist.

I have no regrets. I would do this surgery again in a second. I feel a freedom and sort of womanly power I have not felt in years!

Week 5

All is good :) My energy is back, and everything feels pretty good. The only thing I can say that feels at all uncomfortable during my normal routine is any time something hits my incision areas on my hips. It's not too bad just a little sensitive.

I am getting lots of positive feedback from my friends and acquaintances. People at work were blown away. I am not shy, and here in Cali I think it is a little more socially acceptable to have work done so pretty much everyone that knows me knows what I had done. I have given out my doctor's name and number to 5 people!

The biggest change I think is in my head. For a few years now I have felt invisible. I used to be proud of my body and enjoyed getting attention from the opposite sex. But in the past few years I felt like a blob and I wore clothes that would help me hide. Now I walk with my head high and am once again enjoying the looks I get and even just looking people in the eye as they pass and flashing a smile. I know my body is not perfect but it is sexy and curvy in all the right places. My BFF said; "you look like Jessica Rabbit" when she saw me naked. I will take it!

Down here in Southern CA there are tons of very qualified, very well publicized, and very fair priced plastic surgeons. After narrowing it down to 3 (very qualified) surgeons I ended up going with Dr (s) Kryger (brothers) because I really like the fact that they work together as a team which means less time under anesthesia. Dr. Kryger (Zol) is very professional, driven, serious, and up on the latest research and practices. Given that he is of this nature, his bedside manner suffers a bit (i.e. he is all business). When he looked at me I think I could hear the wheels turning and measurements being calculated in his mind. While his intense focus leaves something to be desired in the warm and fuzzy department, I felt 100% confident in his skill and ability levels based on the questions he asked, the explanations he gave, and the method to his process. On a side note, his brother, while I only briefly got to meet him, seems to have more of an outgoing personality (sorry I am a psychologist, I cannot help but to analyze them). One of the things that concerned me a tad bit was the fact that it seems they do a lot of reconstructive work in addition to cosmetic. I had no doubt they were very skilled surgeons but I wondered if they were as good at the aesthetics of things. But I no longer have this doubt. I am beyond thrilled with my result. The doctors, and my experience exceeded all expectations I had!!! I would recommend them to anyone considering surgery in the Southern CA region. Since I was an out of town patient my experience was a bit untraditional, for example, I had my consult and pre op via Face Time and did not have the opportunity to meet my doctor(s) in person until surgery day. They fully accommodated my schedule and the limitations associated with my geographical distance from them. Dr(s) Kryger… you rock and I intend to shout it from the (virtual) mountain tops! Thank you so much for the hard work you put in on this mother of 4's run down body!
