I am doing fine all is healing very nicely. Now working on phase 2. Vertical thigh lift and out thigh revision. Will post those in another port.

Had a lower body lift done by Dr Kayastha (K Plastic Surgery) who came recommended by ellis barriatric. Pleasantly surprised that the pain I endured was so minimal and at 2 weeks post I feel wonderful already.
I must admit after reading so much from others on Real self I expected it to be worse than it was. I had taken 1 pain pill 2 times when I got home and that was it. I used a freshette female urinal ($25 on amazon.com) which was a life saver as my only time of being uncomfortable was getting up and down. Once up I was walking with ease and i just took it slow and easy getting down. Dr. K was a wonderful caring Dr who has a wonderful bedside manner. He is there for answering my questions and came to see me early the day i got released. He took the time to discuss with me the entire procedure and what could possibly go wrong and put me very much at ease. I still have more surgery to be done to take care of my inner thighs which is the whole reason I went to see a PS. He explained that in my situation I have so much excess flesh and fat and cellulite throughout my legs from the knee to the thighs all the way around that doing a 2 step process would give me the best results as I needed to be "debulked" prior to doing the inner thighs. I will be doing the medial thigh lift in a few months once I am all healed and Dr K feels I am ready to continue on my journey. I have to say that I have waited 16 long yrs since I had a gastric bypass and went from 296 to 156 (140 lb loss) to do this much needed surgery. I had a tummy tuck 1 yr post as I had no choice but to do that with all that excess fat and skin hanging so far down you couldn't even see my female parts!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for the rest of my transformation to get done and I am looking so forward to it in the hopes of that surgery going so well as this one has been going as far as pain and recovery goes. As far as the full future results at this time I can't really be sure as I am still very sore and bruised and swollen from the leg lipo that is really hard to say how happy I really am yet. I must say I do see a difference that is for sure but I am hoping in a few months its more than what I see now in my only 2 weeks post surgery. I also want to thank all who did blogs and it let people like me who were going to do surgery a real look at what gets done and what can happen and all the comments and encouragement was very much appreciated.

Dr Kayastha in my opinion is a very caring PS who definately takes pride in all the work he does. He told me at the consult that he does and he proved to me during and after surgery he does and I am very happy with his work. He took time to answer any and all questions i asked and that was many! He assured me he'd do his best to work with me on my "pear" shape and help me to change my midsection including (butt, thighs inner and outer (hips). He assured me he would do his best and I realize how much fat, skin and cellulite i have in that area and i know it all won't go away but a good amount will and I am pretty confident once he goes the medial thigh lift I will be looking and feeling so much better than I do now with all the nasty ugly hanging fat and skin I have and I won't be so embarrassed by my body as I am now. I will post when I get the thighs done and let u all know how it goes.
