We have a plastic surgeon coming to our next support group meeting. I for one am interested in what he has to say.

Thank you so much!!!! I've waited so long to get to this place! Hard to believe my sleeve was already almost 3 years ago! The time has flown by! We knew I'd need plastics at some point, and it's so exciting to finally have made it!!! Already I am just so thrilled with my results, and I know they'll just keep getting better! So happy I made the decision to take my life back, get healthy, and now finally have the outside match the inside!!!! [emoji1]

Thank you! I am so excited about everything! My results, how smooth my recovery has been so far, how good I feel (99% of the time, lol). This has been an amazing journey!

you look great!!!

I'm just starting to research plastics myself. What was the predicted recovery time? I'm concerned about needing to take a long time off from work.

They say you can technically go back after two weeks! I ended up taking 5 weeks, using vacation time, so I could rest more and enjoy part of the summer off. [emoji1]

Had my first post op visit today. Everything is going great! Everything seems to be healing well. They think my drains (some if not all) will get to come out on Tuesday. Today they just cleaned the sites and put new stickers down to help hold them in place. Next Friday I'll get the tape removed from my incisions and start the scar care routine.

I'm starting to be able to walk upright just a bit more, but not totally straight yet. They told me to play it by ear, and listen to my body. If I'm not feeling pain, I can continue to straighten up more.

TMI - but I finally had a BM today. I ended up needing an enema, which I did at home. Really haven't been taking much as far as narcotics, but despite colace twice daily, Fiber, increased Fluid, Miralax, and two doses of milk of magnesia I still couldn't go. I was starting to get really uncomfortable to the point t it was causing some pain, so I decided to do the enema. It worked, and I felt to much better.

I still tire out pretty quickly. I don't like being "lazy" but know I need to let my body heal so I rest frequently and take naps a lot. My husband has been so supportive and amazing helping with all the things I can't do. I'm really hoping by next week I'll have more stamina!

After my visit I took my garments off to snap a quick update picture. Of course I'm still super swollen, but LOVING my results so far!

This whole processing has been such a blessing, and can't wait to see continued changes as I heal more. [emoji173]️

Aw, thank you!! I am beyond thrilled with the results!! Good luck to you in your journey! It is so worth all the hard work!

Looks fantastic!

Wow! You look great! Congrats on all the hard work you put into it! Did you get a thigh lift or just Lipo?

Thank you!!! [emoji1]. I just did lipo to the thighs. I may want/need a thigh lift someday, but she really just wanted to debulk my thighs so they remain proportionate with the body lift. Super happy with how just the lipo alone looks!!'
