After a Years Wait...

So after a week, I went in for my first appointment. Only one drain was removed. I was a bit bummed but understood the importance of doing things right. I'm not walking straight yet. At least I stopped using my mother's walker. ( It was a great help the first week!) A few more days and the second drain should be removed.

Over a year ago I started my journey to look for a Plastic surgeon. You see, I had lost almost 60 lbs, and there it was, this shelf of skin and fat that no diet or exercise could ever get rid of. I felt I owed it to myself to look into getting it removed.
My sister-in-law recommended going to the Real Self website to find Plastic surgeons in my area. After searching for 5-star surgeons. I settled on 3. I made consultations with all three. By the time I had my 3rd consult, I finally had my AH-HA moment. Dr. Chao was going to be the perfect fit for me. Between his professionalism, personality, knowledge, and staff. I knew I was done looking. They were very patient with me. Due to this procedure, I knew everything was out of pocket. We settled on a date over a year away.
Well, here we are a year later. I had my surgery a week ago. I'm not going to lie. It hurts like hell. Just keep taking your prescribed meds as needed and you will be fine. No pain no gain. I go in tomorrow to hopefully get my drains removed. I can't wait for that!!! I have before pictures that will be posted and I will follow up with after pictures. I really can't say enough about Dr. Chao, and Becky. As they said in the surgical center they are called the "Dynamic duo" !!!
