Liposuction with Fat Transfer to my Calf. (Calf Augmentation)....Today is the Day - Miami, FL

I haven't updated my profile recently, simply because I haven't had any new updates to report. I consider that a good thing. My weight is pretty much the same, and the fat in my calves remain and there is no pain or side effects to date from the surgery. I am now at five and a half months, which is just two weeks shy of the date I was told I will see my final results and still I am ecstatic about what I see in the mirror every day. I will make my final update and post pictures in two week.......Thank you girls for the love.....smoooches

It's only natural as the new year approaches to reflect on the previous year. I can truly say that my surgery would make 2012 very memorable for me, but in an unexpected twist it comes second on my list of defining moments this year. I felt the need to make a post today to pay homage to the community of realself.com . When I initially started this journey it was simply to inform others whom had this same interest of the process, but what I got in return was an overwhelming group of support. As one starts this journey, it begins with excitement and a look to the future, you always imagine and focus on the end result (which is good). You are aware that there is a recovery and healing process but of course that's not your focus while your daydreaming of your new body. The support of family and friends when you have those doubtful moments during your recovery are stronger than any percecet that can be prescribed. For the massive unexpected support, I thank all of you. At this point my body looks better than i imagined it would be, for that thanks goes to my surgeon Dr Mendieta for sculpting it, and to my friends, family and the realself community for supporting me which guaranteed my happy healing. I have attached a few new photos of my body up to date. Happy Holidays to everyone and my the New Year grant you all your hopes, wishes and dreams......

I felt the need to post an update, even though not much has changed. My waistline got an inch smaller and my legs are the same in size. For the past few evenings in bed they felt a little tenderness in my calves, not painful. So I decided to take the iron tablets that my Dr had me taking for a couple months after surgery. I got more from the local pharmacy, they are suppose to promote healing. Other than that everything is great, I have been hitting the gym and my body has toned and firmed up really nicely. I think I need to modify my exercises because I don't want to build too much muscle, I like a feminine look. All and all I am still very pleased and happy with my decision.
