Tomorrow will be two months since my lbl/bl. I am so thankful I was able to have my plastics. Dr.LoMonaco is the best and I am so grateful to him for making me feel "human" again. I feel almost back to normal now. I went back to work at the 7 week mark. I am exhausted and swollen by the end of the day, but after having the summer off, the first weeks back at school are always exhausting.

Here is a before/current pic. I'm still swollen, but getting better week by week (I also added a couple more to my profile)...

Wow

Laura
You look great. I am thinking I need the LBL cause my thighs seem dispoprotional to my body now the huge pannis is totally gone and my tummy is flat.

I love how the LBL smoothed you out. I am 4.5 weeks out and today I swelled more than I have since home from hospital and the pressure causes me pain over the hernia repair. I had to take 2 percocets this evening to settle down and relax . I hate pain meds and they take forever to help.

Hang in there girl you look very good. I am jealous.
