I lost 140 pounds......overweight forever.
i thought i would never do plastics, i have a great marriage to a man who has loved me no matter what. then i realized that as i got to a good weight that iknew in my head that i was a good weight, i wore a 10 and i could cover up what i needed to, but when i looked in the mirror it was the same body, only deflated.
So happy with the decision.
It has discomfort, but i will say i was pleasantly surprised it was not horrible painful, i am shocked. The girls that had Lipo were in more pain than me, and they did not have as much incision work as i had. i would do it again in a heartbeat tomorrow. Post op i only used motrin and tylenol for pain control. the compression garment has given me the most pain. I am tight and that is uncomfortable and hard to sleep at times.
All in all a great experience. I will get some revision work down the road. As it is he did lots of work, and had me on the table for 13 hours. I had LOTS of skin. I know it was to my benefit that I was in great shape, i became a gym rat and it helped the recovery and the results.
I know i liked seeing the changes in people.

I am a nurse practitioner, so either my business partner will take them out or i will pull them myself as well as all of the sutures. I would have no problem letting my husband pull the drains.
if you want to see my before and after pic just pm me and i will show it to you.

I have already traveled home, 10 days post op with no problems. Got home last night, glad to be home. Still have 4 drains. But feel great.

I used Dr Frenzel, and cant say enough positive about the entire experience. He is board certified in bariatrics and plastics. He uses an OnQ ball post op, so there is no real post op pain.
