I have done well. I had my sleeve 8/8/2012. I went from a HW 324/SW 292/CW 166, size 26/28 to size 8. I have been at the same weight for 14 months. I did use the Arlington office. I actually live in Tyler Texas. My surgical experience was great. i had plastic surgery last summer at my one year anniversary.

hey my PS buddy, you look amazing. What a difference from the last time i saw you. Keep up the good work.

The long vertical scar is because I had an anchor cut, a vertical cut up to the sternum because I had so much skin. I have a scar all around my waist to the back and up to the sternum. totally worth it for how he was able to pull me tight.

I did not need lipo, and it looks painful to me, but i did have over a thousand sutures. I am a little abnormal, i was back at work in 3 weeks. I was in great shape when I had surgery. I will be 8 weeks tuesday and i ran a 5K yesterday

7 weeks ago, i had a lower body lift with anchor cut, breast lift and reduction, long thigh lift, and arm lift and have done great. never took anything but ibuprofen and tylenol for pain. Was more tight than pain. no regrets, would do it again tomorrow!!!!! needing to make myself take it easy because i feel too good.

My arms look better and better everyday. they are not tight incisions on the arms, they cannot be tight for risk of rupture with swelling post op. i had no pain on any of my incisions. The only thing that bothered me what when i had the drains near the elbow. I would do everything again tomorrow.

All of us were there alone but connected with each other through his network. We created a great support network for each other. Even of there was no one to connect with, I would go again alone.

I had a total of 9 drains. Came home from mexico with 4. REmoved the last one on day 29. just learned to tuck it in a pocket. i am now 6 weeks out and doing well. have intermitted swelling but not to much. Michelle and i were days apart. and we were bad girls and trying on clothes at the mall in mexico a week after our surgery. you should have seen the looks we got trying on clothes with drains everywhere. we were quite the pair:)

yep, i am going to remove all of these pictures because some idiot sent me an inappropriate message. I am going to give a little while for the genuine people to see pics, but yea, no more for me here.

My scars do look remarkably good at this stage. Part is certainly genetics, my hispanic heritage is helpful, I believe. Also I was very very very healthy pre-op. Other things that i think had a very positive impact include: 1)exercise, I was in very good shape 2) hormones: i am post menopause (early menopause) and i use bio-identical hormones (I actually prescribe these as well) 3) supplements--good Vitamin support 4) IV Vitamin C therapy pre-op 5) high Protein diet before surgery--animal protein!!!!!! Even if my scars were glowing green, i dont think i would care. i am so happy with the change in my body that I dont care. In this pic, the orange dress on the left is 2 weeks before plastics, and the same dress in blue is 1 month post op. No weight loss other than the skin.

Thanks, and yes i had the arms done. this is just before surgery and 1 month post op

my actual procedure was a lower body lift with anchor cut. I had lots of skin above my navel, so it gave me great results. so i was cut all of the way around and had a large area of tissue removed up the middle. He was able to give me great curves back and take so much away. Love my anchor cut:)

The surgeon there completes the forms. One woman that was there with me had hers completed for california.

Thank you!!!! I did have my arms done, but I will take credit for working really hard to get ready. Just now my muscle definition is now obvious. i am very proud. it is all a new thing to be a little athletic:)

oh sure, i have used spanx forever. but spanx only does so much. it is very different. spanx are wonderful, but i was wanting to make it permanent and make it all go away.
