I am 3 months out now and I am still happy with my results. I glad I didn't wake up looking like a boy. Lol.. I have lost 14 lbs since surgery and I'm excited. I will be at my goal weight soon. All in all the healing process wasn't bad just very slow. I had soo many stiff days that I had to laugh at myself to keep from getting frustrated. My calves bothered me the most but my arms are still a bit sore. Yes, I would do it again.

I finally had a bm yesterday thanks to my gradmother's coffee. I am feeling much better today and I'm down to 2 pills a day for my pain killers. My hardest part of this journey is getting up and down from chairs the bed etc. My buttocks and hips are still very sore and I have some bruising which is good in my opinion. My doctor worked hard on me!
So far I'm still happy but I have a long recovery road ahead of me. Thank God for my mom, grandma and my sister. I don't know what I would do without them. My sister has passed on to me all the cosmetic fads on how to achieve smoother and flatter results. I will add photos later on down the road. Good luck to all of.

So, I am on day one of healing. Let me tell you, the pain is much more bearable vs the pain from my tummy tuck and lipo. However, I am not going to lie I am in pain. I think the hardest part for me is getting in and out of the car, chairs, etc. When I went for my check up today they took the garment off and my thighs look amazing even with the swell hell! Overall I am happy. I mean you can't expect to go in there wearing a size 16 and come out wearing a size 8. Will my thighs still be thick? Absolutely! All in all I'm happy. Btw my nurse said they removed 450 cc from my outer thighs. Dr. Swanson is the best I don't care what others say.

Thank you! Of course people always have something negative to say you can't please everyone. My post wasn't directed towards anyone in general. I just feel that those who elect to get ps should have realistic expectations. Of course there are ps out there that have messed people up badly and those affected have a right to complain.

Oh yeah, I get what you mean. I guess I wonder if the doctors have realistic expectations for their patients..you know what I mean? I think it's on them. But very happy that you are happy :)

I know my ps discussed realistic expectations w/ me. Or should I say we discussed them together. I have never been a thin girl even though my mom has been a size 0-2 all her life. Lol. I told my ps I wanted to keep my curves and not look like a little boy. I know that working out and eating healthy is something I must continue daily in order to keep losing weight. One thing Swason does remind you of is that ps is not weight loss.
