Hey ladies. Just a short update today. Had my fat pack removed from under my left breast last Friday. Healed well so far. I have an appointment with the new residents on Friday and hopefully they will clear me for exercise. Fingers crossed X

Dr Kelly and Dr Showolter were second to none. Wake Baptist residence clinic was more professional, thorough and caring than any other office I visited. They even called me to let me know my jobs disability dept had not contacted them when they were supposed to and that was certainly not their responsibility. This program has shown me that you don't have to pay top dollar to get top doctors when you go through such a highly regulated and monitored program. I even get follow up care for a year. Thank you Wake Forest Baptist Hospital for making this possible for us women who don't have $10k to spend.

Hi there! Came across your review and enjoyed reading your story! I think your results are stellar! You look fabulous! I was a bit freaked out for a moment when you posted about the hernia incident. Thank the gods it wasn't because I have had this bump on the right side of my bb that is slowly going down but still there so I thought as I was reading maybe that's it! But I thinks it's impossible to get an hernia now that everything has been stitched closed. Happy healing and I thing your boobies look fabulous and your scars have healed so well!

Simply amazing, thank you for educating us with your experience. First congrats on your outcome : ) You look Fantastic! Second you motivated me to hit the gym harder and to get back focus. I need to lose eight more pounds before my surgery and I know it's no easy way but to put in hard work. Thank you for taking the time out in your posts and explaining everything detail by detail; for this speak volumes about your character! Thank you so much for sharing : ) EXTREMELY HELPFUL!

Revision completed

The revision took all of 20 minutes to complete. They gave me the numbing needles in about 5-6 different spots under me breast (stung like a deep bee sting) and then they proceeded to cut off my fat pack. He did 6-7 deep internal sutures that will dissolve and one continuous top stitch. I'm covered in steri strips for 3 weeks until I go back.

Well, my Bahamas cruise leaves in 3 weeks so no running or Zumba to get ready. Guess I'll be eating 100% perfect until I ship off.

See you soon ladies!

Having a small revision today

Hello ladies. Remember that fat pack I bought? You know, the little pocket of skin that was left at the end of my lollipop incision when I opted against the anchor scar. I decided to have it removed before the senior residents go off to start their private practices this month. It is under my left breast and kinda sticks out of the bottom of my bra. See?

They are doing it in the office this morning. I sure wish I was being put to sleep but they say it will only take 20 minutes. I'll post the after pics in a few hours.

Good Luck !!! Keep us posted. I too am nervous because my fellow Surgeon is leaving at the end of this month. It was one of the best investments I have ever made.
