I lost 115 pounds of weight through diet and exercise over the period of a few years. I never lived completely in light of my successes. The issue for me was that I had a daily, constant reminder of my previous issues with weight in the form of loose skin and breast tissue that was evident. I refused to go to a beach without a shirt on, change in public facilities, etc. The lead up to the surgery was great. I was so informed of exactly what to anticipate and the different steps in the process that it was very easy to navigate. The surgery was around 2.5 hours and I woke up and was able to go home the same day for recovery. The recovery period with drains installed was 2 weeks. Afterwards, it was simply massaging the scars and applying silicone gel to reduce scar visibility. I'm very impressed with the surgery and wouldn't hesitate to go forward with another surgery with Dr. Wendel and his AMAZING faculty.

Congratulations on your weight loss and great results.  You look fantastic and should be very proud.  How quickly were you able to get back to your exercise program?

It took me about 6 weeks to get to the point where I could jog without discomfort. There will be swelling in the area and wearing compression shirts were really helpful in reducing the shifting that happened. I definitely took it slow. I was able to do lift weight lifting pretty early on. In the grand scheme of things though, taking it slow for 6 weeks is a small price to pay for a better you! :)
