Where Did The Time Go?
It has been a really long time since I posted on the site. I can't believe that much time has passed by. I guess it has to do with me being back in the office working. By the time I get home I am tired and just don’t have the energy. Well let me update a bit. I have been back in my actual office since May 6th and boy have I been extremely exhausted by the end of the week. I am a commuter so I am up at 2:40 AM every morning to take a 11/2 -2 hour ride to work, work 8 hours and then commute back home getting there around 6-6:30ish. Don't let it be a bad traffic day....have gotten home as late as 8 PM. Last Friday I drove home from my office and it took me 5 hours to do my usual 11/2- 2 hour ride.
My healing from my LBL is going well. My scar is looking really good but it itches like the dickens. With me being a commuter and sitting all day I do have swelling and get to feeling really tight in my midsection. My PS prescribed fluid pills and that really helps and my office provided me with a foot rest to keep my feet elevated to ease any swelling. It has been 9 weeks since my surgery so I am now able to and have started back exercising. Not too rigorously yet but walking and finally ran some last week and started weight lifting light weights. I haven't done any AB work yet. I am waiting until after my appt in 2 weeks. My ABs are still sore and tender a bit so I don't want to do any damage doing any crunches or anything.
I have decided I will have the medial thigh lift done. At first I was hesitant because of having such a long scar on the inside of my legs but I just do not like the loose skin. It looks really horrible when bending forward and I look behind at my backside. Just Yuck. I am hoping that removing the excess skin and pulling it tight will minimize the wrinkling and give my legs an overall better appearance. My PS has done such a great job so far and I believe that he will do the same with this procedure. I plan to have this done March 2015 if not maybe over the Holiday season this year.
Well I have blabbed on enough. I am posting some current pictures of my progress. I really feel good about myself and I hope everyone out there is feeling the same about themselves as well. I have been reading some really awesome posts and I just get happy in my spirit when I hear someone else say how happy they are now since having plastic surgery. Happy Saturday.

Wow 6 Weeks Flew By
Well its been 6 week since my LBL surgery and working from home. The time has come for me to get back in the swing of commuting and sleeping in my bed. I had gotten so comfortable in the recliner that I didn't want to not sleep in it but at last I needed to turn my family room back to a family room.
I finally slept in my bed last night after all these weeks. It wasn't a comfortable sleep for me. For some reason it was a bit painful to lay on my right side so I spent the night tossing and turning. I guess I just got to get used to a real bed. :O)
As for my LBL recovery. Everything is going real well. My scar is looking really good but itches a lot in certain areas. The best news is that it is starting to fade a bit even though I haven't yet started using any scar cream. I will ask my PS about that at my appointment in two weeks. I am still applying bacitracin especially on the itchy areas and trying not to scratch too much.
As I reflect on the surgeries I have had as a part of my mind, body, spirit and soul transformation and restoration I just get happy. I know it sounds cliché but "I have Come a Long Way Baby" and the time it took to get here was well worth it.
I haven't decided yet if I am going to have thigh lift surgery. The LBL gave me a little improvement in that area but to really see results its going to take surgery. I just don't know if I want such a long scar running down my leg. My PS prefers that method versus the groin area method. Should I decide to have the surgery it won't be until the late Fall. I have a couple of races I plan to run and will need my legs for that. :O)
I have a few photos of my progress and will continue to post as the time goes by and changes occur as a result of the surgery. Good night to all.

Provider Review
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
8720 Stony Point Pkwy., Richmond, Virginia
Dr. Gregory Lynam and the staff at Richmond Surgical Arts have been the most professional and friendly staff of service providers and I highly recommend anyone in the area considering PS to check them out. Additionally the staff at the Stony Point Surgical Center where I had and will be having my LBL are wonderful and made me feel really comfortable the day I had my first procedures and I know that I will receive the same type of service for my LBL surgery.
