2 Months PO
WORTH IT$8,500
Hello!!! So I am a little late on the post but as of March 7, 2017 I was officially two months PO. Now I have had great results with no difficulties at all, thank god. My body has taken very well to the surgery. My scar is very well, not completely flat yet but I am using the Steri Strips (Silicone). They help a lot and I highly recommend them! I can say that the scar area is still very tender and I have sharp pains along the scar once in a while. I have been staying at the same weight. I have started back at the gym and now doing strength training as well as cardio. I take it light but def. make sure I sweat. My arms have become very prominent since the waist is skinny now. I am at work and will post current pics another time. I believe the best part of this is the shopping, and the clothes that I can fit into now! I bought a two piece bikini!!!! yay me. Not to mention the attention I am getting everywhere I go, thank god for DR. Turko!!!

1 Month PO
Well, here we are at one month post-op I'm feeling okay I'm still not in the gym. The pain is pretty much minimal I have been keeping the silicone sterile strips on the scar still it's definitely helping so I recommend them to the fullest. The tightness in the abdomen is still there periodically but not as bad back to normal activities pretty much. I'm very happy with my results! I'm still currently weighing in at 205 pounds to 208 pounds

I am doing well . Mostly swelling in the front and back that causes me discomfort. But my results are looking good. Lipo pain has sucked the most. I am so drained and on good days I tend to over do it even though I am not trying to. Body feels stiff all the time . I am 3 weeks out. I had complications that I could have died from because of course I have to be a trouble maker. First I kept going into a coma state, having seizures and turning blue because I wasn't breathing. Come to find out I am allergic to to much Lidocaine once they pulled out the tubes that were giving me doses of it I started recovering. I had to back in to be opened up again because I had to small areas that was causing me internal bleeding. I became anemic because of it and was required two bags of blood. Still a bit anemic get cold easy. Dr. Says it will take a bit for the red blood cells to build up, but they will soon.

Oh sorry missed your message. I am doing good I don't need to go in for fluid sucking anymore. Still some swelling using ibroprofen at least 3 times a day for it. But right now I have a nasty head cold and the coughing is causing me to swell more which is no fun. But my hubby really loves the results and well he's drooling over me. Lol I was afraid he wouldn't like the new me but he can't wait until I am totally healed and we can play more. We have to take it easy for now or at swell more. Lol
