I had my BA and TT done Sept. 25th by Dr. Levin with Lancaster Plastic Surgery. Dr. Levin and his staff are wonderful! I go back for my 4 month check up on Friday 1/23. I absolutely loved everything about the surgery (well maybe except for the 1st 3 days post-op). Dr. Levin is caring, courteous, never makes you wait long for your appointments and he's very thorough. He takes pride in his work. Sandy is his receptionist and she's a sweetheart! Barb is his nurse and she's informative, attentive and so nice!

Okay! I had my surgery on Thursday Sept. 25th! I absolutely loved Dr. Levin! The whole process went smoothly and I wasn't nervous at all! The first two-three days were pretty awful I'm not going to lie. I had my first post-op appt yesterday. He said everything is looking good and I can start to stand up a little straighter! FINALLY! The hunching over was killing my back. I go back Friday to get my three drains removed!! WAHOOOO! Those drains are annoying! Then it's shower time on Saturday! (You never know how much you take the little things for granted until you can't do them!)

Oh Dr. Levin said he removed 5lbs of skin!! I can't wait to see this waist when I can stand up straight! :)

Hi! Yes I had my surgery on Thursday so I'm 5 days PO. Phew those first two days were terrible! The pain meds made me nauseous. Now the pain is mostly in my back from hunching over and sleeping in a recliner. I'm moving a little faster everyday. I have my first PO appt today so here's to hoping a drain or two gets removed!! How are you? How did your surgery go?

Mine went fine and although the first couple days weren't fun they weren't terrible either. I'm completely off the pain meds now and doing a little more so staying a little more sore than to begin with. My back was killing me too but at my f/u yesterday he said I could stand up straight which was a huge relief! I only have one drain and am still putting out too much fluid to get it removed which I knew before I went so no surprise there. He said if it's below 50 by Friday to go back and they'll pull it, if not it should come out next Tuesday at my next f/u. My biggest complaint is the ups and downs. I have a really good day and feel great, and then it seems like I pay for it the next day. Today I'm just so-so and planning to go back to work tomorrow so getting as much rest as I can today while I can. So glad to hear you are doing well too!! Have you taken any pics yet? I haven't taken many, but if you check out my profile you should be able to see the 1st shot I took after surgery. I was pretty tickled to see all that fat gone!! Hope your recovery continues to go well, will keep praying for many easy, pain-free days in your future!!!

That's wonderful!! I get to get my drains removed Friday!! My PS told me I could stand up straight too! So much better. Still can't stand up completely straight but I'm getting there. I haven't taken too many pictures yet. Once I cant stand up straight I'll be snapping away! Lol
