29 Year Old Male, Procedure Soon - Houston, TX

I can hardly believe it's been 4 weeks since surgery! Recovery has been quite a journey. It's been hard at times, I guess especially with the swelling and exhaustion I feel so easily at the end of the day. The hardest part is not over doing it. You don't realize how the procedure is quite a shock to your body until you feel it. I had to learn to take it easy even 4 weeks after, as it takes a good 12-16 weeks for you to fully recover from it. Would I recommend it? ABSOLUTELY! No doubt, hands down go for it. I would do it all over again if I had too! I hit my lowest weight a few days ago, losing about 17 lbs since my surgery. I just removed the surgical tape today and my scar has healed quite amazing. I am still Numb pretty much all over the incision area and my left leg is numb from my waist to mid way down. I plan on returning to work out in the next few weeks and see how that goes! Sleeping is tough, I had to sleep sitting up for the first 3 1/2 weeks after surgery and just was able to sleep in my bed within this past week. It's still not all that comfortable for me just yet. I will post some pictures soon! I encourage you to go for it if you have any doubts at all! It makes a worlds difference and you deserve it!

Everything is going exceptionally well. My chest is still very sore, and my insicion is painful only at times. Doctors appointment went well, drains have to stay in one more week. I weight about 14 lbs less then pre surgery. But I am swelling like crazy in my legs and waist as no pants or shorts fit me yet.

I am very happy with my results if I can just get the swelling to stop. I would do it all over again.

I'm doing expectionally well. I have an appetite, eating not to much though just don't want to get my stomach to upset. I have taken two showers since the surgery. I am standing a little taller each day. My scale is still down 12 or so lbs and I'm draining about the same. I get up and walk a lot about 30 mins a time. It feels so good to stretch out my back. I can do tell a difference. I will continue to keep updating everyone who is following!
