3 months post op
I saw Dr. Boynton today for my 3 month follow-up and got to see my before and after photos. Even more amazed now that I see the side by side comparison. I snapped this photo in his office and am blown away. I thanked him again for giving me my self confidence back. Would do it all over again!
I Definitely Made the Right Decision!
I'm 48 years old with 2 boys, 25 and 23 and after weighing almost 200 pounds at my highest and losing close to 50, I finally decided to pull the trigger on a tummy tuck and arm lift along with a thigh lift so I did some research and found out most doctors won't do all the operations at once.
I did a lot of research and decided to do my first consult with Dr. Boynton. After talking to him during my initial consult on August 31, 2018, I felt extremely comfortable with him and his staff and decided that I didn't want to talk to another doctor and I scheduled my surgery the same day as my consult for December 11 and opted for a tummy tuck along with lipo on my back, flanks, inner thighs and knees in addition to the arm lift. I decided for the arm lift first instead of the thigh lift and depending on how I did with the surgery, I planned on doing the thigh lift at a later date. The reason for December date was because Dr. Boyton told me that I should be able to return to my desk job after 2 weeks and since I wasn't telling anyone (beside my husband), this date fit perfectly with the upcoming Christmas holiday when so many people take off. I was nervous on how sore or uncomfortable I might be and someone noticing. Luckily I had no issues with this since most of the staff was off during the week of Christmas when I went back to work. Most people you see daily don't notice any weight changes and I was banking on this along with it being cold since I live in a jacket at work. I also started walking again so if someone asked, I could say it was because of all the walking I was doing.
Three weeks prior to my surgery I met again with Dr. Boyton and his staff to go over the final prep work needed and get my list of prescriptions. They faxed these to my pharmacy in my home town. I also needed to meet with my family doctor for medical clearance and have some blood work and and EKG done just to confirm I was physically fit for the surgery. At this time, his staff gave me a binder with copies of all of the paperwork I just signed and it's a lot lol but it goes over what to expect along the way. What I really found helpful was the part in there about the ups and downs I may go through emotionally. It really helped and I made my husband aware that I may be on this roller coaster with my emotions and that he needed to know to support me no matter how crazy I may seem.
We live in the Beaumont area and checked into the Residence Inn Houston I-10 West/Park Row on Monday with the surgery scheduled the next day, for early Tuesday morning on December 11. We planned on staying until Friday. This hotel is less than 5 minutes from the hospital so I didn't want my husband to have to sit in the waiting room all morning when he could just go and relax at the hotel. The hospital staff at Houston Methodist West Hospital were excellent! I see why Dr. Boynton partners with them. Weighing 152 pounds, I met with Dr. Boynton that morning so that he could do all his lovely markings lol along with the board certified anesthesiologist and his assistant so that they could answer any questions that I may have had. Once the surgery was over, the hospital staff called my husband to tell him I was out of surgery, I believe the surgery lasted around 3.5 hours. Shortly after, Dr. Boynton called my husband to let him know that everything went well and that I would be in recovery for about an hour which was great because he didn't have to call being that the hospital already did. This just goes to show you how great he is!!
My biggest concern was the pain that might be involved afterwards. With the Exparel and Dr. Boynton's technique, I can honestly say this experience was not at all what I expected. I, like anyone else on this site read the reviews and some of the horror stories so I was really nervous. I stayed overnight in the hospital and again, cannot say enough good things about the staff that assisted me right down to the people who delivered my meals. They really took excellent care of me!
Dr. Boynton discharged me the next day and again, since I didn't want anyone to know I was having surgery, we opted to stay at the hotel until Friday when I had a follow up appointment with Dr. Boynton. Staying at the hotel helped tremendously since we have 2 dogs and 2 new puppies that my son was at home with and I didn't want them jumping on me since I knew I would be sore. We also opted for a handicap room so that I could have a chair in the shower and believe me, it was definitely needed!
During the time I was discharged and being seen again by Dr. Boynton, I do remember crying just once during this time. With the drains attached and needing to get up and walk and tying to shower, it was all so much at one time. My husband was a tremendous help during all of this. I only took my pain meds at night and maybe once, one time during the day. I didn't need them like I thought that I might. I took Tyelnol instead. I feel extremely lucky to have very little pain after this major surgery and I KNOW I owe that all to Dr. Boynton. I never once considered if I made the right decision about not getting another consult. The pain tolerance alone proves I made the right decision. Now, the one thing I did have trouble with and do not recall reading about in my research was that I would need to give MYSELF injections to help with blood clotting. I am so afraid of needles but I did it! How??? I'm still not sure, probably I didn't want to go through surgery and die from a blood clot. I had to give them to myself in my thighs and for me, it was painful....more painful than anything from the surgery but that's because I HATE needles. It was only once a day for a week but too much for me lol.
I am now now just a little over 10 weeks post-op, weighing in at 145.9 writing this review and I am healing quite nicely. I didn't take any before pictures because I didn't think I would be writing a review but after the experience I had with Dr. Boyton, how could I not sing his praises! Again, I cannot say enough great things about him and his staff.
