Getting Rid of the Pooch and Muffin Top...King Of Prussia, PA

I wanted to come by and provide some insight into the KOP Sono Bello Office. From the beginning my interactions with the Office have been pleasant. I contacted them over the phone and set up my appointment. I was contacted to set up my consult, which was within a few days.
I must say the day I came in I was a little nervous but so ready to see what Sono Bello KOP would be able to provide. As I waited the receptionist asked if anyone needed something to drink or eat. Very nice gesture,even though I was nervous but a few others did oblige. It was now my turn to speak to Bobbie, a lovely lady ready to answer any and every thing I threw at her. It was easy to speak to her and understand what was going on because she took her time and made me feel comfortable (guess the laughing at everything didn't help). As we finished the consultation I was able to see a few pics, prices, and the doctors credentials.
So by now I am ready, and I set up my pre-op appointment. I went and meet with Dr. Talaie. He asked a few question, looked at my body and then advised as to what he would do. It was a little weird because he didn't smile and was about his business. But as we conversed he then told me that it was due to the weather. What a nice and personable man to have do my surgery. After he left the nurse provided instructions and medication for me to have for after care. I also received some emails on how to prepare for the BIG day.
Four days later, I came in for my procedure for my upper and lower abs, and flanks. Yes, like any procedure I had a few jitters and ran to the bathroom like 6 times. lol :) But Erin (LPN) had me calm and made sure I was comfortable. As the time grew closer for the procedure to start, I was told by Dr. Talaie and Erin of everything that was to happen again. I can say that the most uncomfortable part is the beginning (a few pitches and the motion of instruments). Nonetheless, Dr. Talaie had me in a calm place, made sure I was comfortable and able to talk during the procedure. As Erin was there also to make sure I was comfortable and able to remain in a calm state during the procedure. It only took about 3 hours from the time I got to the office to the time I left.
During the first day or two I was in the bed, moving around when I could. I had to be in an incline position most of the time because of the wrap and compression outfit looking like a superhero with a swollen mid section. lol But I was glad that Dr. Talaie contacted me the day after the procedure, it was nice. :)
But after the days progressed I was able to move around a lot more. I also was provided a few email from the Dr. on after care. I was able to decrease my pain meds and sit up straighter. I found that light massage and rubbing my abs and flanks keep some of the pain down also. I also have noticed that I only had a few hard knots and those are around the incision site.
After seven days I came in for my post-op, it was amazing to see the transformation. I was amazed because for so many years I was not able to get rid of my pooch in the front. I have done diet after diet and workout after workout, but nothing would work. But the happiness I had when Adrienne came in with the before and after photos, a big difference. Again, I had to be reminded that this was just my first week after the procedure and that I still had a long way to go. I was just amazed that the results are showing and clothes are fitting differently. I know, all results are different but I have found that if you prepare before (a little cardio and meds) and then after (a little cardio, massage and meds), until you are able to get in the gym hard. As I was told this is an investment and you must let it do what it has to, before you see the finally result.
If you want a place that makes you feel comfortable and keeps you in a relaxed atmosphere - go ahead and take a look at Sono Bello KOP.
I will tell you about the Venus Freeze soon, I go in a few weeks. :):) So excited. Have a wonderful day...

Just wanted to come by and show you my results. I must day the past week has been more easy. I am still feeling tight, like I have a waist cincher on. But it is not as painful as week one and two.
I can say that my results are becoming more noticeable. ;)
I do feel more tightness or bloating in the evening, but if I use my roller and massagey areas it does feel much better. Also I have been able to get back in the gym and do some cardio... It does help.

During your firs two weeks was the pain tolerable enough to do normal, everyday activities?

Hello C4mi and thanks for your question. I can say the the third day through the tenth day, had to be my worst. I was able to do my normal routine (work, walk the dog...). However, my gym routine has been placed on hold. But I will be able to start back on Monday (6 weeks po). I would like to say after day 10... It was so much easier. Yes a few pintches, some tightness but overall much easier.

Thank you for your response. I'm trying to get an idea of what to expect. I'm so excited about my upcoming procedure.

You are welcome C4mi. I know your going to have a good procedure and the results will be amazing. Just remain positive and do not over work yourself. In time you will heal.
