Thanks for sharing! Very informative for those of us starting out. And congratulations! You look amazing.

Absolutely unbelievable! Is it true that having the plastic surgery is very painful? I keep hearing that, altho even tho if I do lose all the near 140 lbs, I doubt I'd be brave enough to go thru another surgery. I'm older than you too so I don't know if at my age, I'd go thru all that. You look **amazing**! Congratulations to you!

You look great!! Congrats on your success! I have a sneaking suspicion with how much I have to lose, I will eventually need plastics, and this is really informative. Thanks!

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.

Awesome! Congrats!!!

Absolutely fantastic, congratulations and continued success!

the facebook group is very informative too.

Thank you!

Thanks for sharing that info Cowgirl Jane. Thank you all for your comments. Tfhere is a price list on his website. He does significantly discount for multiple proceedures. The price is different based on the procedure and time to be spent in the OR.

Today all of my sutures are out. I am 3 weeks out today. I still have one drain i am having trouble with, but i just need to be patient.

That is pretty good to be down to just one drain so quickly!

You inspire me, I go in Oct and am a chicken so it is good to hear how well this is going!!!
