5 month update

Its been 5 months already! I am back to living my normal life where my tummy is not the center of my universe. I'm back to my workout routine and have no issues. I have gained back a few pounds since my lowest weight of 145. My weight has stabilized around 151 and I think that seems to be my new normal. Swelling is not much of an issue these days but its still there at times. It's funny how the mind works. Now that I'm used to my new flatter tummy, I'm back to seeing myself with the old critical eye and often feel fat. I have to look at my before pictures to get grounded in reality. And the reality is that I'm planning a long summer trip and shopping for swim wear has actually been fun. Happy recovery everyone!

Not much to report. Weight fluctuates between 145 and 148. Wearing size 6 pants and 8-10 tops. Incision healing slowly. Still swelling by the end of the day but I look 1000 times better swollen than I did before the procedure. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I'm feeling great overall. Am back to my normal energy level and activities except working out. My weight this morning was 147 so I'm down just over 10 lbs since surgery.

I still have a couple of spots on my incision that is yet to heal but have started using Mepitac strips on the rest of the incision. I don't think my incision is healing as well as others I've seen here but I think that's just my body.

I love the way my clothes fit now. Shopping is so much more fun. I went from size 12 to 8 in pants and large to sm/med I'm shirts. I wish I had done this 10 years ago!

Dr. Parhiscar is amazing. I knew from our first consultation that he would be my surgeon. He has a calming presence and a quiet confidence that is impressive. He is not arrogant and does not try to sell you anything. He listens to you and provides all the information you will need to make an informed decision that is right for you. I am 3 weeks post-op and I am extremely happy with my results. I'm happy with the overall experience with the surgical center, all of my interactions with the doctor and his post-op care. He called me at home after the surgery and I had his cell phone number so that I could contact him at any time. Melinda, the patient coordinator is one of a kind people person who is not only extremely personable and nice but knows her stuff and takes care of business. She's a badass and Dr. P is lucky to have her on his team.
