Awww I feel you- pics are totally optional.  I would recommend keeping the before pics for yourself though, even if you don't add them to your review.  It will be really helpful for you to be able to see your before/after (even if we never see them).

Platelets a little elevated

Smh.... After labs, my platelet level is a little elevated. Not cleared yet. Will retest this week. My labs were taken after my menstrual cycle so I think that's why they were high. Any one else with this issue before ??

Wow, I could not believe the transformations! I knew right away that this was the procedure I needed, even if it mean...

I have barely any curve, butt, and have fibrosis to the point I'm embarrassed to show my stomach.
