12 weeks
WORTH IT$17,000
Sept 28, 2016
On the eve on my 12 week mark I got a lovely surprise from Dr. Gill and his staff. A nice bouquet of flowers and a sweet note. Boy was I surprised. He’s is the best!
If anyone is one the fence about this I say just do it. You may experience a little pain and some uncomfortableness but I found that it passes quickly and it is so worth it. I know that once you make the decision to have the surgery you are ready to get it done but for your own sake don’t rush into it without throughly researching and interviewing Dr’s. I cannot stress that enough. Take it from someone who had to have their BA re-done. Life is good and I am over the moon so happy!

11 wks and the fun begins.....
Sept 21, 2016
Last week hubby convinced my to buy some a new swim suit. He's ready to start using the hot tub again. Weather should be getting a little cooler in the evenings. So I took his advice, I mean when hubby says you need to go shopping, then you go shopping. I have never had fun bathing suit shopping but this was loads of fun. The sales lady just kept bringing me more to try on. Anyway I came home with 3 swim suits. One 1-piece and 2 bikinis. I don’t think I have ever worn a bikini before. And that lovely scar, it is totally hidden by my bikini. Kudos to Dr. Gill! I had so much fun modeling them for hubby. He too is very impressed with Dr. Gill’s work. He’s says that was the best money he ever spent.
I’m still having pain when I sneeze but I can deal with it. I just didn’t realized I would still have the pain.

8 wks.....
At my 6 week check up and got the all clear to not wear these compression garments. I took them off as soon as I got home and haven’t looked back. I wore them religiously for 6 weeks and am so glad to be rid of them.
I really can’t believe its been 8 weeks. I don’t have a lot to report other than it definitely is a slow process. I still have a little swelling on the inside on my thigh and knee so the Dr. suggested that I try doing some lymphatic massages. I got the first session free. I decided to do 4 sessions and see how it goes before I continue but I’m thinking that is all I will do. The nurse says it just helps speed up the process. I just finished the 3rd one today. I feel like it has improved a little. I am able to cross my legs without any pain.
I decided I needed to get back on the band wagon and start exercising, we have an elliptical so I started with that this week. Who knew you used your abs and core for that? I could definitely feel my abs so I opted not to use the arms. My weight is steady at 140 -141. Now to work on toning.
