Lost my Confidence and I Had to Find a Way to Get It Back - Savannah, GA

ORIGINAL POST

So... back to Dr. Pettigrew with Savannah Plastic...

WORTH IT$3,500
So... back to Dr. Pettigrew with Savannah Plastic Surgery. While I was doing my two-month follow up with him I discussed how I was unhappy with my weight gain and was considering lipo. He REALLY!!!! Wanted me to lose weight first and he educated me why. But I wanted it anyway. I was going through issues with my husband. I went from 140lbs to a whopping 174. I had never been a person to think I could NOT do something before. I needed a a push, and I needed the motivation. On top of that, the army doesn't deal with fluffiness very well. So because I was a repeat patient he quoted me for 3500. He lipo'd 5770 ml of fat from my body. And although weight loss was not promised I dropped eight pounds before I even headed back to the gym. Im currently three weeks post-op and already thrilled. I look pretty good now, and I can't imagine what I would look like when I hit "final result" at the four-month mark. Thank you Dr. Pettigrew & Savannah Plastic surgery. My head is high again. My husband and I are separated and knowing his mouth is going to fall open when we do cross paths makes me rather giddy.

hey thank you so much for your videos. Im getting lipo and mastopexy in a few days...been trying to get other people's experiences. Just like you i gained weight and couldn't get it off even though I tried. Doctor told me not to lose more than 15 lbs after surgery to maintain my results, i'll be happy to lose ten. Honestly I just can't wait to hit up the gym and tighten the junk. Not being able to work out is going to KILL ME. I'm a gym rat...I just eat too dang much and thats how I lost weight and couldn't get in shape. Anyhow my doctor told me in two weeks post op i can do light cardio..not sure what that means. Can you tell me what kind of workout you did when you finally got back to the gym? thank you.....and i think your results look awesome!!

Thank you for sharing. You look great. I'm researching Smart Lipo or TT. I'm afraid of loose skin but you look great and we're the same size or I'm the size you use to be. :-)
