Not bad at all- my only dying pain was the lipo- sounds like you aren't having any.

Everything else I could do any day of the week- the lipo- (I had a LOT) I will never do that again!!!

Sounds like a wise choice to break yours up- I know I used my upper body (arms and shoulders) to get myself around- and my balance- I would suggest breaking upper and lower up to anyone :-)

Oh you ARE having lipo------ :-) yeah- not fun! <3

Ohhhhh yes :-) I LOVE it! All of it. I'm back to 20+ miles a day cycling and working full time, so I'm not here as much :-)

My body is amazing, healing, I can't believe this is my body most of the time :-)

Life is so so so good!

New questions about the MM with Dr Niebles!!!

Thank you~ I will try to answer best I can for you~ Everyone is different though, and everyone's body is different, pain threshold, recovery time, Protein intake, etc......it's all different! So keep that in mind when asking others about personal stuff, I mean info about the Dr is usually accurate, and doesn't vary much......but other items DO vary! :-) If that makes sense!

You had a facelift and nose job~ I would not trust anyone to do my face so you are already ahead of me. My face is probably going to have to stay how it is, because I won't let anyone touch that! Again just a personal preference!

Was I ever awake?

Yes, again, things are going to vary, because my surgery took longer due to the condition of my breasts being so bad, and he was short one person in the OR, so my 8 hour surgery turned into a 12 hour, and I think they brought me in and out maybe to make sure I was okay, also I get sick under the anesthesia, so I think he brought me in and out so that I would not get so sick when I came awake at the end, and I didn't get sick at all this time. I did with the sleeve though.

Could I feel pain~

Yes, again, it will vary...everyone is DIFFERENT. I had a spinal I think in addition to the sedation they had me under, and the left side did not take, and every time I woke up, I could feel him sewing my left side up on my TT....I told him, and he went to the right side, and they put me back under, I think that happened like 3 times. It didn't freak me out like I thought it would, I was awake talking to the anesthesiologist (she was the only one in the OR that spoke English) and I would tell her to go tell my husband that I was okay, because I was due to be out of surgery hours ago, and I knew he was a crazy mess waiting for me (NO one spoke English at that clinic)....and coordinator was no where. (One of the reasons I would not suggest that particular clinic, but I swear by the DR himself!)

Are my nipples where I like and even~

Yes, look at the first post in my original post. You'll see how terrible my body was, how bad my measurements were off and you can see that things ended up right where they should be. I LOVE my new body. My nipples and breasts weren't exact when I started, and they are not exact now, but they are WONDERFUL and besides they are sisters, not TWINS! <3

Is my scar thin and small~

It fits under my skimpiest bikinis, and my skimpiest Victorias Secret panties and garters that I wear. So yes, I think it is great. BUT I stayed on a very high Protein diet, and followed Drs orders to a T, and never cheated, kept it clean, didn't touch it, wore my compression garments, etc. I healed FAST, and he thought it was due to a good diet, and following orders as well as him doing a great job! So again, those things will vary person to person, EVERYONE scars SO DIFFERENTLY. :-) Mine fade, so I expect these will fade also. My breast scars are already nearly invisible. I was instructed not to use lotions, potions, all that crap, and I didn't, but I know MY skin, and again, I was faithful about doing what he suggested.

Pain, how was it?

Read through this post, and you will see about my pain...... search the lipo.....that was the killer for me, and the only place I still have pain! Not dreaded pain, not severe, but just a little when I sit for too long.

Girl, Dr Niebles' business is going to go through the roof with results like yours! Does he have a website? It's going to become difficult to get an appt. You may have said this already but, what was your total cost?

No he doesn't have a web site- they were working in it when he did my surgeries ;) I told him he really needs one ;)

My total cost was different than what most would be because I had some extras added into my cost. But for my breast reconstruction, implants, Tummy Tuck with full muscle corset repair, Lipo from the backs of my shoulders down to my tush- then my fat reinjected back into my tush for my Brazilian Butt lift, (and my extras) it was under 9000.

Thank you- he does a great job- in my eyes he's an artist!

WOW... WOW ...WOW... !! YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!!! I have the exact same before pic! I would love to have your body now. I love the way the lift and implants turned out. I think your breast look natural. Can you tell me what size implant you had? Such a great job your Dr. did.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
