I should have done this years ago!

I'm now 19 months post-op, and this is still the best thing I've ever done. I've had some issues controlling my weight over the past year due to some medications and hormonal changes, and even though I'm heavier now than I was the day I went in for surgery, I still look better and feel more confident. I've been working with a nutritionist and trainer to try to get my weight back down to where it used to be, and I'm happy to say that I can actually see the (very faint) outline of my abdomimal muscles! There's a small pooch on my lower abdomen that Dr. D left in to avoid the problem of hanging skin. It's a bit annoying, but after having almost 4 litres of fat removed I still look better than I ever expected.

I'm now 4.5 months post-op and I still feel like this is the best thing I've ever done for myself. The lopsidedness that I noticed a couple of weeks after surgery has sorted itself out, so I think it was just some lingering fluid on one side. Due to an ongoing knee injury, I'm actually the same weight I was the morning I went in for surgery (even though Dr. Demianczuk removed 3250CC of fat!) but I still look so much now that I don't have a prominent belly anymore. I'm absolutely thrilled with my results and would definitely go back to Dr. Demianczuk if there was ever another procedure I wanted.

Still thrilled with the results! It feels a bit strange if I push on the abdomen or lie on my front - I think there's still some swelling in there. When I look down at myself I'm slightly asymmetrical, but overall my stomach is so much flatter that I don't really care about small imperfections.
