Lipo bbt

So it's been a while and I'm ok with the tummy tuck my tummy is flat. but very unhappy with the bbt and lipo. Also my belly button has a thick red scar around it :( So I talked with Gottlieb a few months back and it will be touched up. I felt as if he was annoyed. And I'm being charged $800 for the anesthesia instead of the original $500 I've always been charged. Did the rates go up ....? I guess ??? I will update after the second surgry. Which will be in a few months.

I'm a little discouraged. I'm 27 days in and I'm still not standing up straight.
I want to be able to totally stand straight by 6 weeks. I miss playing with my kids :(

I'm starting to feel a lot better. Still going through swell hell if I eat certain foods so I'm eating small healthy meals throughout the day. Definitely do not eat a half of a grill ham and cheese sandwich!!!!! The sodium in the ham had me so bloated. It was very uncomfortable. I'm sticking with grilled chicken salads , fruits and yogurt. Also a cup of coffee in the morning and one in them afternoon to keep me going. Otherwise I think I would be tired sooner. My posture is about 85% now. Sleep is getting better as well. Almost sleeping fully flat. Can't wait until I'm well enough to sleep on my side again. I still haven't drove by myself since surgery. hoping by Monday I'll be back to myself or by the 18th which will be a month from my surgery. I'm supposed to be going to the beach on the 23rd and have a check up with the Dr on the 25th and my daughter starts school at the end of the month.

Yes it is now that the lipo swelling went down. I'm still not that happy with it yet but I'm seeing good progress. Hopefully it continues.
