1 Year Anniversary

It seems like a distant memory. I often go back and look at pictures. My body shaped changed dramtically. Two years prior I lost 15 pounds and thought I looked good. I gained the weight back before the surgery but my daughter says my body looks much better now than after the initial weight loss. I'm doing my best to get the weight back off. I can only imagine what I'll look like 15 pounds lighter now.

Didn't know how much I changed

Until I just looked at these before and after pictures, I didn't realize what a difference the surgery made.

My stomach is still sensitive but numb - if that makes sense. If I touch it on the right, I can feel it twitch on the left. Rubbing my belly button brings weird sensations as well. At the end of the day I can't wait to get out of my pants. I'm very pleased with the results. Still don't know if I would do it again knowing what I know now. I guess I have to keep looking at my before pictures.

I'm so glad I chose Athenix. Some of the issues that I read about are not happening to me. I can't pop a stitch because my stitches are dissolving inside. My drains can't come out by mistake because it's about 2 feet of drain inside of my abdomen. I received a bust to thigh compression garment which I believe has reduced my swelling issues. You don't know how good you have it until you read about others. The staff is very personable. I didn't see the doctor during my initial consult but I felt the staff knew what they were doing and they were very responsive. I have seen him at each of my follow ups. They joke a little too much, but that's cool.
