No Bra or Compression Garment Weekends
WORTH IT$500
All is really going well with my WLS journey maintenance. After planning + recovering from my BL and BBL w/360 Lipo I finally began working out again today for the first time in 10-months. I plan to meet with a nutritionist next to kick off a 60-day jump-start my preparation for 10-day conference / vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mx. Although,I am a solid size 8 -- I have a small frame and I would like to flattening my tummy and have to work on what I am putting in it in parallel with daily workouts. I just came back from a beach vacation and film festival in Martha's Vineyard. It was great to be out without a bra or a compression garment.
I looked realized I looked great in my strapless bikini I can do better by putting in some mental discipline and physical work at this stage of the game.
Good luck to all you ladies contemplating or scheduled for WLS.

One Hundred - twenty-five pounds (125). Only, 10lbs from my goal weight. It has been wonderful journey. My doctor had plenty of kudos and hats of to Dr. DiMarco. Dr. Fitzgerald wishes he could've taken credit for my surgery. I can't say enough as I state the Weight Loss Surgery Team did a great job. As far as my blood work is concerned everything is on the level. Dr. Fitzgerald recommends I keep doing I am doing. This has been an awesome experience for me. I'm a size 8 and life is great!
