I Am Home!

WORTH IT$5,700
Okay so this hernia surgery is no freaking joke, this is the most excruciating pain I have ever felt, the muscle repair was extensive or at least it feels as though it was. I cannot move an inch with out horrendous pain....but I do love these, wish I had these for my lipo recovery. I think if the TT is pain like this it is out of the question!!!! Lol

First let me say, I work in patient care myself, dental....so I have a very high standard of care. I felt very comfortable with Dr. Setty from day one and knew he was the one for me! I felt as if he spent a great deal of time with me during my consult never felt rushed and just flowed. It was a lot of information to take in so by the time I got to Bobbie the manager to discuss costs etc I wasn't thinking of all those little questions. I then got her email and poor girl answered every single question, wasn't as quickly as I answer my patients emails but it was before the days end. Everything went so fast I had little time to prepare, I had my consult Monday before last and my procedure march 7th so had a lot to cram in such a short time. Which brings me to my surgery, Courtney was scheduled to be off the 7th and bless her heart she came in just so I could have mine done since my hubby was already off this day as was I with a 3 day weekend. Thank you Courtney! As for the procedure itself, I have a super high unbelievable tolerance for pain meds or sedation so yes I felt most everything outside of just being numb and it was not that bad, so I imagine it would be a breeze if the meds work for you. Dr. Setty spent extra time with me making him late to his next surgery to make sure he provided me his standard of care and that just impressed me even more. I would definitely highly recommend him. In fact reading reviews on other docs he takes more pride in making sure he provides all necessary healing aids unlike others. Bromelain, arnica and lipo foam.....all of which are supposed to be the best of the best! I am very excited for my results, but what I could see before they wrapped me looked good! Thank you, Ashley, Bobbie, Courtney, and Dr. Setty!

I'm praying for u
Thanks ray of hope....I really wish I could pee. Have not since right before surgery at 12:30 think the muscle relaxers relaxed my bladder to much lol
Surgery messes with your system. It will get better :) Plus you have probably been in much pain to eat or drink much.
Thats true had some apple juice and jello afterwards but ONLY because they made me before they could give me more meds
I could imagine u not wanting 2 get up 2 go 2 the bathroom. But try to drink something so you dont get dehydrated
Feel better soon!
Thank you....hope sooner than later
I had the apple juice there a glass of water and a third of gatorade so far. Sure it will be easier tomorrow. Hopeful anyway lol
Wow - you have been through the ringer - glad you are through with all of this!!! Be happy and enjoy your new/old body!!!

TT consult

Okay, we met today and he reviewed the entire procedure and recovery. I am not ready! I hate that because it does save about 1k dollars by combining the two but I told myself I will just think it over because I have to be ready for something like this and I know myself the savings is not worth it if my heart is not in it. Would be different if we didnt have so much planned this year vacation wise! Gonna think on it a few weeks though

Also consider that $1000 is a lot, but not doing the TT at all saves you quite a lot; so if you end up not needing the TT because you're happy with your results, then you've saved that money.

I am happy with my results I just notice the skin when I sit, but eventually would like that gone! Just maybe not right now I just don't feel ready for such an undertaking!

I understand :).  A mini TT isn't as big a deal as a full TT, but it's still a bigger deal than Smart Lipo!

If I could get away with a mini, I would do it but my extra skin goes hip to hip and I would want my stretch marks gone. Just going to wait till next year so I can prepare for it, having the hernia surgery this Friday
You look great! I'm confused why you need a TT? I am considering smart lipo also. My body looks like yours before you had the lipo done. I had one PS recommend smart lipo and another one recommend a TT. So I am just confused at this point!
I was informed ahead of time that smart lipo alone would not give me what I wanted, I really needed lipo with TT, I chose to do the smart lipo then heal and do TT once I saw my results and healed I do not regret it at all. I love my results, I just have extra skin when I sit down its not visible at all when I am standing. Its fom having two kids c sections and I gained 84 lbs with each! I will do it in 2016 when I can take the time off for proper healing
I am glad I did it in phases, although it is a little more expensive that way it is how I could process it, I don't handle sedation very well at all....and it is very hard for me to take off work longer than a week at a time
Your extra skin doesn't show at all now when you do the dive photo pose. That's a biggie for me! If SmartLipo could get rid of that I think I'd be pleased, but maybe not. LOL

Arnica gel at walmart

A lot of you have asked about this, it was amazing I used it with the arnica pills as directed. The gel I used every morning and night. It dries quickly and is not sticky so can put your CG on right away. Hope it helps some of you!

I forgot to ask when you had your revision did they use the same scars as he did the first time or did he make new incisions?
For my revision he used the same scars as the 1st time.
He used the same but we only had to go thru two since we were just doing two small areas
