Karey, except for the tummy, you have a very young looking body. After today, you will look young all over!

Wishing you the best!

I agree. You have great skin! You are going to look fabulous when this is done.

Thanks for sharing. Watching everyone go through their surgeries is so exciting.

Well I survived! I think I was euphoric when I started coming out of the surgery. The recovery nurses thought I was entertaining. They said most of their patients aren't as happy as I was coming out of anesthesia. The nursers were great. Not sure how I look, except that I am definetly in the flatlands. I have a new low profile port and the band doc decided to take some of my fill out. I think because it was her first low profile port and she wants to give me an adjustment so she can see how it works. I am in a lot of pain and trying to stay on top of it. It's not so much the stomach as it is my Lipo and my hip and shoulder. Feels like they pulled muscles when they were getting the compression garments on. I'm not sure about the size of my breasts, they have padding in between them and the bra, but my breast are a lot higher! The PS said he took 3 pounds of fat with the lipo. One exciting thing was that the PS said there was very little fat on my stomach, it was mostly skin. They removed 4.5 pounds of skin. He took a picture and I might post it, don't have it yet. Well I hope this makes sense. I'm falling asleep as I type, so I better quit. Thanks for all the well wishes!

Hi Everyone,

I've just recently joined this forum and only just found this part of it. karey i wish you all the best. After reading all the posts I have to tell you all that you all are very inspiring. I have not had my surgery yet so needless to say this thread has me very excited in hopes of what I may have to look forward to. I admire you all for being so willing to share.

Karey, I have to tell you the reason I chose to follow your thread was because of your name. I assume you like to quilt and I am definately a quiltaholic.

Hope you are happy with your PS. I am praying for your speedy recovery.

Texas T: I do love to quilt! I'm a freak for fabric!! My daughter is getting married in May and I'm making her a jean quilt. Every other square will be embrodiered with sayings about love. I've got the squares cut and thought it would be a good project to do the embrodiery while I recupperate. So far, I feel way to crappy, but I'm expecting that will change soon.

Think I will have to go in to the doc today, I'm having a lot of bleeding around my drains, not sure where it's coming from because of the compression garment. My garment is soaked. Did anyone else out there have this problem? Anyway, the pain is more tolerable today, so I guess I'm on the mendl

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
