34 Year Old, Frustrated with "The Apron" After Weight Loss - Glenview, IL

UPDATED FROM Dugan5

WORTH IT$10,000
So recovery is going quite well, I am moving a lot, not at the same speed as before, but I am moving! All of the drains are out (yay!) and I feel so much better not having to have to deal with them and I am able to shower! Still very swollen, but it's going down. I feel great! Totally off all pain meds and and I am driving :) As of right now I am taking the antibiotics, supplement regiment, and maintaining my regular diet, just upping the protein which I am making sure that I am getting at least 120 grams worth. Some pics of what I look like right now.

Dr. Casas and her staff are amazing, from the first meeting to every step of the way, they have been nothing but helpful, understanding, patient, and considerate. Dr. Casas provides amazing care, pre- and post-op. She makes sure that you understand everything that she is going to do as well as why she requires you to have a certain diet and supplement regiment, pre- and post-op. She has made the process so easy and comfortable, I have no idea what I was afraid of. Dr. Casas is an amazing surgeon and she only works with the best people. So far I am nothing but thrilled with my experience and can't wait to see what the final product looks like.

I had my TT on Thursday, and after reading all of the reviews and experiences of other ladies on this website I was scared of the recovery. So far (knock on wood) it's been really easy and not that painful. I've been really good with my meds, diet, and moving around every hour that I can honestly say that I had made the right choice having Dr. Casas do my procedure. I didn't take any pics because I didn't think that I was going to want to have the guts to post anything on this forum, but I wish I had.

Good Look with your recovery. I also wish you had taken pics (lol) but its not too late. You could do post a couple of days and post a couple of weeks just to see the progress. I am doing my research on plastic surgeons in Chicago, but I am looking for a mommy makeover and its alot harder than I anticipated. The trust we have to build freaks me out. Please keep us updated on your progress.
I agree, I regret not taking before pics, but I will soon, right now I am totally covered up so it really doesn't look like anything. Since you mentioned that you are looking for a mommy makeover, I would encourage you to meet with Dr. Casas, she's fantastic and honest, worth meeting with. Good luck :)
You look awsome
